Porcelain dental veneers

Veneers the ultimate smile makeover treatment in Bolton

A dental veneer is a layer of tooth-coloured material which is attached to and covers the front surface of a tooth. They are usually made of porcelain. Composite resin veneers can be built up directly onto the tooth, while porcelain veneers are made in the laboratory and are later glued (bonded) on to the tooth.

Porcelain laminate veneers can be used in a variety of clinical situations e.g. colour defects or abnormalities in enamel can be masked. The following list gives a range of situations in which veneers can be used.

  • intrinsic staining or surface defects caused by ageing
  • accidents
  • medication (e.g. tetracycline)
  • lack of mineralisation
  • improper natural development
  • erosion and abrasion
  • fluorosis
  • extrinsic permanent staining not amendable to tooth whitening procedures
  • misalignment of the teeth
