Dental veneers offer an excellent solution for quickly improving the appearance of chipped, cracked, discoloured, or slightly misshapen teeth, and can also close small gaps.

Veneers are custom-made, thin shells, typically crafted from high-quality porcelain, which are meticulously bonded to the front surface of your existing teeth. This procedure usually requires just a couple of appointments.

During your first visit, we'll prepare the tooth, which may involve removing a very small amount of enamel to ensure a perfect fit. An impression or digital scan of your tooth is then taken, from which your bespoke veneer will be created by skilled dental technicians. A temporary veneer may be placed while your permanent one is being made. Once your custom veneer is ready, you'll return to our Christchurch clinic to have it securely and beautifully fitted.

Veneers are carefully matched to the colour of your surrounding teeth for a completely natural and seamless look. If you're considering teeth whitening, we generally recommend completing this treatment first so your new veneers can be matched to your brightened smile.
