Laminate Veneers

Thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of the teeth to change shape, shade and alignment with minimal preparation.

A laminate veneer is a thin layer of ceramic bonded to the visible surface of a front tooth. Because it only covers the front, far less tooth is removed than for a full crown — in some cases almost none at all.

Laminate Veneers

Overview

Veneers change shape, shade, length and the appearance of small gaps or mild crowding. They do not move teeth, and they are not a substitute for orthodontics when the underlying position is significantly off.

Who is it for?

  • Chipped, worn or slightly irregular front teeth
  • Discolouration that does not respond to whitening
  • Small gaps between the front teeth
  • Old, discoloured composite work on the front teeth

How we do it

  1. 01

    Assessment and design

    Photographs, a digital scan and a smile design. Bite and any grinding habit are assessed, because both affect whether veneers are appropriate.

  2. 02

    Mock-up

    The planned shape is placed over your own teeth so you can see it before any preparation. Changes are made at this stage.

  3. 03

    Minimal preparation

    Only the amount of enamel required is removed — often 0.3–0.7 mm — and an impression or a digital scan is taken. Temporary veneers are fitted.

  4. 04

    Try-in and bonding

    The ceramics are tried in with a trial paste to confirm the shade, then bonded and polished.

After the treatment

  • Mild sensitivity to cold for a few days after preparation is normal.
  • Do not bite nails, pens or bottle caps, and avoid opening things with your front teeth.
  • If you grind your teeth, a night guard is not optional — it is what protects the ceramic.

Frequently asked questions

No. Veneers require far less preparation than crowns, and where the design allows, a no-preparation veneer is possible. The mock-up shows how much is actually needed.

A well-bonded veneer on enamel is very stable. Debonding is usually related to heavy grinding or trauma, and a debonded veneer can often be re-bonded.

Glazed ceramic does not stain the way composite does. The bonding line at the gum can pick up stain over years, which polishing addresses.
