Whether you’re looking to cover up stains, alter the shape of your teeth, or close small gaps, our experienced team is here to provide customised solutions that deliver natural-looking results and boost your confidence.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of high-quality ceramic that are permanently bonded to the surface of your teeth using special resin glue. They are designed to cover up stains, discolouration, chips, and minor imperfections, offering a whiter, more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile. At Dental on King, we use biocompatible materials that closely resemble the natural translucency and texture of tooth enamel, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
Porcelain veneers offer numerous benefits beyond just whitening your teeth:
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Achieve a brighter smile by covering up stained or discoloured teeth.
- Shape and Size Correction: Change the shape, size, or length of your teeth for a more harmonious appearance.
- Gap Closing: Close small gaps between teeth, enhancing overall smile symmetry.
- Minor Repairs: Repair chips and cracks in teeth, restoring their functionality and appearance.
- Slight Straightening: Straighten slightly crooked teeth without the need for extensive orthodontic treatment.
- Durability: With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for 10 years or more, making them a long-term solution for smile enhancement.
During your first visit, our dentists will conduct a thorough oral health assessment to determine if porcelain veneers are the best solution for your dental needs. We will discuss your aesthetic goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your preferences.
A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to accommodate the veneers. This ensures a perfect fit and allows the veneers to bond securely to your teeth.
We take precise dental impressions of your prepared teeth, which are sent to our specialised dental laboratory. Here, your custom porcelain veneers are crafted to match the colour, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth for a natural look.
Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your prepared teeth while your permanent veneers are being fabricated.
Once your custom-made porcelain veneers are ready, you will return for fitting. Our dentists will ensure the veneers fit comfortably and look natural before permanently bonding them to your teeth using a special resin cement.

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from medical-grade ceramic designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth by correcting issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments, resulting in a natural-looking and enhanced smile.
You may consider porcelain veneers if you have:
- Stained or discoloured teeth that do not respond to whitening treatments
- Chipped or cracked teeth that need restoration
- Misshapen or uneven teeth that affect your smile’s symmetry
- Gaps between teeth that you wish to close
- Slightly crooked teeth that you want to straighten without orthodontic treatment
- Worn down teeth due to grinding or other factors
Yes, porcelain veneers are a safe and effective cosmetic dental treatment when performed by a qualified dental professional. They are made from high-quality, biocompatible materials that are designed to mimic the natural appearance of tooth enamel while providing durability and strength.
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last between 10 and 15 years, and sometimes even longer. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding can help extend the longevity of your veneers.
The porcelain veneers procedure typically involves two appointments:
- First Appointment: Preparation of your teeth, removal of a small amount of enamel, and taking impressions to create your custom veneers.
- Second Appointment: Fitting and bonding of your new porcelain veneers to ensure a comfortable and natural-looking fit.
Porcelain veneers can be used to correct minor orthodontic issues such as slightly crooked teeth or small gaps. However, for more severe misalignments or larger gaps, we may recommend alternative treatments such as orthodontics or dental implants.
Caring for your porcelain veneers involves:
- Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing and flossing to prevent plaque buildup and gum disease.
- Avoiding Hard Foods: Refrain from biting on hard objects like ice or pens to prevent chipping.
- Avoiding Staining Foods and Beverages: Limit consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to maintain the veneers’ colour.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit your dentist regularly to monitor the condition of your veneers and address any issues promptly.
Yes, alternatives to porcelain veneers include:
- Dental Bonding: Applying a tooth-coloured resin to repair minor imperfections.
- Teeth Whitening: Improving tooth colour without altering shape or structure.
- Orthodontic Treatments: Correcting misaligned teeth through braces or Invisalign.
- Crowns: Covering and protecting damaged teeth with a crown.
Your dentist can help you determine the best option based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals
While porcelain veneers do not require special aftercare beyond maintaining good oral hygiene, it is essential to follow any specific instructions provided by your dentist. This includes avoiding habits that can damage the veneers and attending regular dental check-ups to ensure their longevity.
Properly fitted porcelain veneers should not adversely affect your bite. During the procedure, the dentist ensures that your veneers align correctly with your bite to maintain proper function and comfort. If you experience any discomfort, you should consult your dentist for adjustments.
