Every morning, you catch that same reflection in the mirror; you’ve memorised your smile’s tiny imperfections. You want to make a change, and veneers whisper the promise of transformation for your slightly crooked teeth, the stubborn stains that whitening couldn't touch or the tiny chips that tell tales of long-ago accidents.
While veneers could give you the red carpet confidence you've dreamed of, weighing the pros and cons before investing in your smile’s future is essential.
What Are Dental Veneers?
We customise thin porcelain shells to fit precisely on the front sides of your teeth, improving your smile’s natural beauty. Veneers can correct the following concerns:
- Chipped teeth
- Broken teeth
- Discoloured teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Minor misalignments
- Irregular spacing
Considering the Pros and Cons: What You Need to Know
Porcelain veneers are a fantastic option for improving your smile. Consider the following pros and cons before making the best decision for your smile:
Pros
- Durable — Veneers are strong and durable, lasting for many years with proper care.
- Minimally invasive — We can comfortably place your veneers without dramatically altering your tooth structure.
- Low maintenance — You will care for your veneers like your natural teeth.
- Aesthetic improvement — Veneers can fix a variety of dental concerns and make your smile look more uniform and beautiful.
- Confidence boost — Your new smile will boost your self-esteem and make you look forward to smiling.
Cons
- Cost — Veneers aren’t usually covered by insurance so that they can be expensive.
- Irreversibility — Veneers are a permanent cosmetic treatment because we remove a small amount of tooth enamel.
- Replacement — You may have to replace your veneers if they get chipped or cracked.
- Sensitivity — Some people report tooth sensitivity after getting veneers.
- Colour — Veneers are stain-resistant, so if your other teeth become discoloured, your veneers could stand out.
