Veneers are a simple and effective way to transform your smile, giving you the confidence to show it off.
What To Expect From The Veneers Procedure
Here’s a simple breakdown of what to expect during your veneer treatment at Aesthetique:
Consultation
We'll start by examining your teeth and discussing your smile goals to see if veneers are right for you. A detailed treatment plan will be created, and this is the perfect time to ask any questions about the procedure, costs, and aftercare.
Preparation
We’ll choose a veneer shade that matches your natural teeth before removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. Finally, we’ll take impressions or digital scans to create custom veneers that fit perfectly.
Temporary Veneers
If you’re getting porcelain veneers, we may place temporary veneers to protect your teeth while the permanent ones are being made. We’ll also provide care instructions to keep them in good shape until your final veneers are ready.
Veneer Application
The process begins with lightly roughening the tooth surface to help the veneer stick in place better. A bonding agent is then applied, and the custom-made veneer is carefully placed and adjusted for a perfect fit.
Curing
A special curing light is used to harden the bonding agent, securing the veneer in place within seconds. After that, we’ll make any final adjustments to make sure everything fits and looks just right.
Shaping and Polishing
We’ll trim and shape the veneers to match the natural contours of your teeth. Finally, the veneers are polished to give them a smooth, shiny finish that blends beautifully with your smile.
Final Evaluation
We’ll check your bite to make sure the veneers don’t interfere with your chewing and make any last adjustments needed. You’ll also receive aftercare tips to help you keep your new smile looking its best.
Composite vs Porcelain Veneers
Choosing the right veneer type for you can be a difficult task. To help you make a decision you’re comfortable with, take a look at the pros and cons of each below.
Porcelain Veneers
Pros:
- Durability: Porcelain veneers are highly durable and can last up to 10-15 years with proper care.
- Stain Resistance: They are less prone to staining compared to composite veneers.
- Natural Appearance: Porcelain has a translucent quality that mimics the look of natural teeth enamel.
- Customisation: Each veneer is custom-crafted to fit the individual’s teeth, ensuring a perfect match in shape and colour.
- Strength: Porcelain is a strong material that can withstand wear and tear.
Cons:
- Cost: Porcelain veneers are generally more expensive than composite veneers.
- Irreversible Process: The procedure often requires the removal of a small amount of tooth enamel.
- Time: The process usually takes longer, requiring at least two visits.
- Fragility: While strong, porcelain can chip or break under pressure, making it less suitable for people who grind their teeth.
- Repair Complexity: If damaged, porcelain veneers can sometimes require replacement rather than repair.
Composite Veneers
Pros:
- Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than porcelain veneers.
- Minimally Invasive: Often requires less tooth enamel removal compared to porcelain veneers.

Can food affect my veneers?
Stained beverages like coffee and red wine can stain veneers over time. Enjoy them in moderation and rinse your mouth afterwards. Likewise, avoid sticky foods that might dislodge them. -
Are veneers painful?
The process of placing veneers usually only involves a little discomfort. If you’re nervous or anxious about it, just let us know - we may be able to offer anaesthesia to ensure a relaxed and pain-free experience. -
Do I need to brush my veneers?
Yes, you need to brush your veneers. In fact, they need the exact same care as your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and schedule dental cleanings to maintain their shine and health. -
Can veneers be whitened?
Unfortunately, whitening products won't affect porcelain veneers. Luckily, their stain-resistant nature usually keeps them pearly white. If you want a brighter, whiter smile, get in touch 0 one of our professional whitening treatments might be the better option for you. -
How do veneers work?
Veneers are thin shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly and are bonded in place to improve the appearance of your smile. -
Do veneers damage your teeth?
Veneers do not damage your teeth. A small amount of enamel is removed to make room for the veneers, but this process is safe and won’t harm your teeth when done by an experienced dentist. -
Can veneers fall off?
Veneers are securely bonded to your teeth, so it’s rare for them to fall off. With proper care, they can last many years without any issues. -
Who should have veneers?
Veneers are a great option for anyone looking to improve the appearance of their teeth, whether it’s for fixing chips, gaps, discolouration, or misshapen teeth. -
Will new veneers be too white and contrast with the rest of the teeth?
Veneers are customised to match the colour of your natural teeth, so they blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile. -
Which veneers are better, composite or porcelain?
Both have their advantages. Composite veneers are more affordable and can be applied in one visit, while porcelain veneers are more durable and resist staining better. -
Is there such a thing as removable veneers?
Yes, there are removable veneers, also known as snap-on veneers. However, they are usually a temporary solution and do not offer the same natural look and durability as traditional veneers.
