Veneers

Your smile, perfected — crafted to complement you

Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic solution for dramatically improving your smile — enhancing the colour, shape, and symmetry of your teeth with results that look beautifully natural.

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. They are designed to enhance the colour, shape, size, and alignment of your teeth, creating a more balanced and attractive smile.

Veneers are commonly made from high-quality porcelain or ceramic, materials that closely mimic the natural appearance and light reflection of real teeth.

At Cardiff Dental and Aesthetics Centre, veneers are carefully designed to complement your facial features and natural smile, helping you achieve a beautiful yet natural-looking result.

Why choose veneers?

Veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment because they can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile while still looking natural.

  • Improve the colour of heavily stained or discoloured teeth — Veneers can cover deep stains that cannot be improved with whitening alone.

  • Correct chipped, worn, or damaged teeth — A custom-made veneer restores the natural appearance and shape of damaged teeth.

  • Improve the shape or size of teeth — Teeth that appear too small, too short, or uneven can be beautifully reshaped with veneers.

  • Close small gaps between teeth — Veneers offer a long-lasting solution for minor spacing that affects the harmony of your smile.

  • Create a more even and symmetrical smile — Individually designed to complement your facial features and overall smile line.

Porcelain veneers are also strong, stain-resistant, and long-lasting, making them a reliable cosmetic solution for enhancing your smile.

Your journey to a new smile

Your step-by-step journey to a beautifully transformed smile:

  • 1

    Consultation — Your treatment begins with a consultation where we discuss your smile goals and assess whether veneers are the right option for you.

  • 2

    Smile Design and Preparation — The teeth are carefully prepared to create space for the veneers. We then take precise impressions or digital scans so that your veneers can be custom-made to fit perfectly.

  • 3

    Temporary Veneers (if required) — Temporary veneers may be placed while your custom veneers are being created, helping you maintain the appearance and protection of your teeth.

  • 4

    Final Veneer Placement — Once your veneers are ready, they are carefully bonded to your teeth and adjusted to ensure a comfortable bite and natural appearance.

Frequently asked questions about Veneers

How long do dental veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Composite veneers typically last 5–7 years. The longevity of your veneers will depend on your bite, the foods you eat, and how well you care for your teeth. Your dentist will advise you on how to maintain your results at your consultation.

How many teeth can be treated with veneers?

Veneers can be placed on as few as one tooth or across a full smile — it depends entirely on your goals and the advice of your dentist. Many patients choose to veneer the teeth that are visible when they smile. We will assess your teeth and facial proportions at your consultation to recommend the most balanced and natural-looking result.

What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?

Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a laboratory from high-quality ceramic material. They are more durable, more resistant to staining, and often look more natural than composite veneers — but they require at least two appointments. Composite veneers are applied directly to the tooth in a single visit and can be repaired easily, but they tend not to last as long as porcelain. Your dentist will discuss which option is most suitable for your teeth and goals.

Are veneers permanent? Can they be reversed?

Porcelain veneers are generally considered a permanent treatment, as a thin layer of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to create space for the veneer. This means the tooth will always need to be restored once veneered. It is important to discuss this carefully with your dentist at your consultation. Composite veneers are more easily modified or removed, as they usually require minimal tooth preparation.
