What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells made from dental ceramic. Your dentist bonds each one to the front of a tooth to change its colour, shape, length, or spacing. You may also hear them called porcelain dental veneers, dental veneers, or cosmetic veneers. Because ceramic reflects light much like natural enamel, ceramic veneers can blend in with the teeth around them.
Every veneer is made for you. Your dentist gently reshapes a small amount of enamel so the veneer sits flush with your neighbouring teeth, then bonds it in place. Because the fit, shade and shape are matched to your smile, custom porcelain veneers look like part of you.

What to Expect During Your Veneer Treatment
Consultation
We talk through what you'd like to change, look at your teeth and gums, and take digital X-rays so we can see what's beneath the surface.
Planning and Design
We plan the shape, length, and shade of your veneers so they suit your face and blend with your natural teeth.
Preparing Your Teeth
Your dentist gently reshapes a small amount of enamel to make room for each veneer.
Placing Your Veneers
Each veneer is checked for fit and colour, then bonded to your tooth and polished.
Follow-Up
We check how your veneers look and feel, and we show you how to care for them at home.
Finding the Right Cosmetic Treatment for You
- You'd like to change the shape, colour, or spacing of several front teeth at once.
- Your teeth and gums are healthy, or we can treat any concerns first.
- You want a natural-looking result that holds up to everyday life.
- Veneers are one of several cosmetic dentistry options, and the right choice depends on your teeth, your gums, and what you'd like to change. A smile makeover can combine veneers with other care, so we look at the whole picture.
