Veneers

If you are looking to refine the shape, colour or symmetry of your smile, veneers may offer a transformative solution. Designed to enhance the front surface of your teeth, veneers can address multiple cosmetic concerns in a controlled and predictable way. Our dentist in Polokwane provides a customised veneer treatment tailored to your aesthetic goals.

What are dental veneers?

Veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are made of porcelain or composite resin, and can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic problems, such as chipped, discoloured, or crooked teeth. At our dentist in Polokwane, veneers are a popular choice for patients wanting a natural-looking enhancement.

How long do veneers last?

Veneers are a permanent procedure, but they can last for 15 years or more with proper care. The cost of veneers varies depending on the materials used and the complexity of the procedure, but they are generally more expensive than other cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as bonding. Our dentist in Polokwane will guide patients on choosing the right cosmetic solution for their goals.

What does the veneer procedure involve?

The veneer bonding procedure typically takes two appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist will prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. The veneers will then be created in a dental lab and bonded to the teeth in the second appointment.

What are the benefits of veneers?

Here are some of the benefits of dental veneers:

• They can improve the appearance of your teeth by correcting chips, cracks, discolouration, and crookedness.
• They can make your teeth look whiter and brighter.
• They can give you a more symmetrical smile.
• They can protect your teeth from further damage.

Are there any risks to consider?

As with any cosmetic procedure, veneers require careful consideration. Points to keep in mind include:

• They are a permanent procedure, so you will need to be careful not to damage them.
• They can be expensive.
• The bonding procedure can be uncomfortable.
• There is a small risk of veneers becoming loose or chipped.
