Dramatically transform your smile
Veneers are very thin shells of porcelain which are made to fit over the visible surface of your tooth.
Used to dramatically transform the appearance of your smile, porcelain veneers are tailor-made in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colours by carefully selected, expert dental technicians at only the best dental laboratories.
How do veneers work?
At Holly Dental our experienced team will be able to talk you through the options, including the cost and what they can do for your smile.
The porcelain veneer procedure usually requires two or more sessions with your dentist. Firstly, the tooth is prepped: this involves removing a thin layer of enamel, under a local anaesthetic if required, and taking a 3D scan, used to fabricate your veneers – a process that usually takes a couple of weeks. When your composite veneers are ready, they will be bonded and cured using a special light-sensitive resin.

Frequently asked questions:
Are veneers right for me?
If you have healthy gums and teeth, veneers could be a quick and simple solution for you. Patients with tooth decay, gum disease and root canal infections will need to have these issues treated prior to considering veneers, and it may be that your dentist recommends alternative treatments in these cases.
How do veneers work?
Because veneers sit over the top of your teeth, the dentist will need to file away a layer of enamel proportionate to the thickness of the veneers. This is usually carried out under a local anaesthetic. When your bespoke veneers are ready, the dentist will bond them in place using a special curing light, and finish by fine-tuning their look and shape manually.
Do veneers hurt?
No! Sometimes we might use a local anaesthetic, but it’s not always necessary and applying veneers generally involves minimal discomfort. Your cosmetic dentist will discuss your treatment in depth so you know exactly what to expect.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years.
Do veneers stain?
Veneers are less prone to staining than natural teeth, because porcelain is not as porous – but you will need to follow a good oral hygiene routine to maintain your beautiful white smile.
Can I get veneers if I grind my teeth?
Your dentist will take this into consideration before recommending veneers. In many cases, wearing a night guard mitigates against veneers being damaged by teeth grinding.
