Thinking about transforming your smile?
Dental veneers are thin shells, typically made from porcelain or composite resin, that act as a cosmetic cover, addressing a variety of smile concerns like discolouration, chips, gaps, and even minor misalignment.
In this blog, we uncover whether veneers are worth it, and what you can expect before your treatment, during, and after.
Why would you get veneers?
Veneers are one of the most effective ways to achieve a complete smile transformation with minimal intervention. Beyond just a whiter appearance, they are designed to harmonise your smile by correcting a variety of aesthetic and functional concerns all in one go.
Whether you are looking to mask deep-set staining that teeth whitening can’t reach, close unwanted gaps, or restore the shape of worn, chipped, or shortened teeth, veneers provide a durable, stain-resistant solution.
Veneers before, during, and after
Understanding the journey is key to feeling confident in your decision. The process is a collaborative effort between you and your clinical team to ensure the final result looks and feels natural.
Before the veneer process
This journey will begin with a consultation and “Smile Discovery”, where we assess your oral health, like your teeth and gums, discuss your smile goals, and see what we can offer!
At this stage, we like to use our Trial Smile method, where patients can test their new look without having to make the permanent changes.
During the veneer process
After the design, fit, and look are all finalised, your teeth will be prepared for the placement of your real veneers. The preparation for the veneers can typically involve removing small amounts of enamel, often less than 1mm, to make sure the veneers sit flush next to each other, and to keep the natural aesthetic look.
During the fit, each veneer is meticulously bonded to your teeth using a high-strength adhesive and polished to a bright and lifelike shine.
After the veneer process
Once your veneers are fitted, you can enjoy your new smile immediately!
Some patients can experience some minor sensitivity to hot or cold food and drinks for a few days, but this quickly subsides.
You will have to book a follow-up appointment to ensure your bite is perfect, and to make sure you are completely happy with the comfort and aesthetics of your new smile!
Veneers before and after: the look
Veneers can have a dramatic impact on your smile’s appearance. The confidence boost that comes with a brighter, straighter, and more uniform smile is not to be scoffed at!

Are veneers expensive?
Veneers are a premium cosmetic investment, and the cost reflects the high level of artistry, durable materials, and clinical expertise involved. Prices vary depending on the material chosen (Porcelain vs. Composite) and the number of teeth being treated. While they are an elective procedure, many patients find the decade-plus lifespan and the boost in self-esteem make them a highly worthwhile investment. To help make your dream smile more accessible, we offer flexible finance options to spread the cost over 12 to 24 months.
Are you a candidate for veneers?
Most people looking to enhance their smile are excellent candidates for veneers, provided their foundation is healthy.
You are likely an ideal candidate if you have:
- Cosmetic imperfections: Such as chips, cracks, or slightly misaligned teeth.
- Discolouration: Stains that don’t respond to traditional professional whitening.
- Good oral health: Your teeth and gums should be free from active decay or gum disease before we begin.
- Sufficient enamel: Veneers require a healthy layer of enamel for a secure, permanent bond.
