Are Porcelain Veneers Right For You?
Deciding if porcelain veneers suit your needs begins with a clinical assessment. We will review your teeth, gums and bite, discuss your cosmetic aims and consider alternatives such as composite veneers or orthodontic options where appropriate.
Porcelain can offer excellent aesthetics but may require some tooth preparation and ongoing care; suitability and the recommended approach can only be confirmed after an appropriate in-person clinical assessment.
Veneers are not permanent and may need maintenance, repair or replacement over time. Oral health issues such as decay or gum disease should be stabilised before cosmetic treatment proceeds. An initial consultation identifies suitability but is not a clinical confirmation; further assessment and planning are required to determine the best path for your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Veneering one or two teeth may be possible when neighbouring tooth shape and shade can be matched; decisions depend on bite, enamel condition and aesthetic goals, and a consultation with mock-up helps judge whether single-tooth veneers will blend naturally or if broader treatment is advisable.
Some tooth-surface preparation may be required to achieve correct shape and fit, but the amount varies by case; we discuss preparation extent during planning and aim to preserve as much natural tooth tissue as possible while meeting aesthetic and functional needs.
Damaged veneers can often be repaired or replaced depending on the issue, bonding and remaining tooth structure; regular reviews help identify problems early so we can recommend the most appropriate repair or replacement approach.
Shade selection happens with you under natural lighting where possible and may include temporary mock-ups to preview results; we consider surrounding tooth colour, skin tone and your preferences before the final shade is set with the dental laboratory.
Temporary or provisional veneers may be used in some cases to protect prepared teeth and let you preview shape and shade; their use depends on the treatment plan and clinical need and they are assessed and adjusted before final placement.
Yes. A consultation is for information and assessment and is not an obligation to proceed; if you decide not to go ahead we can suggest alternative or stabilising care and give you time to consider options before making a decision.
