Dental veneers can transform the most unattractive smiles. Veneers are made of a thin layer of tooth-coloured (ceramic) material bonded onto the surface of teeth. This procedure is conservative compared to having dental crowns, as it requires lesser removal of the tooth structure.
When do I need Veneers?
Veneers require re-shaping part of your teeth which is a permanent change to otherwise healthy teeth. Hence, your dentist may offer teeth whitening if colour is the only factor you want to change about your teeth.
It is important to manage your expectations of veneers as the colour may have a slight variation compared to natural teeth. Most importantly, regular dental maintenance by brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily, and a dental check-up twice yearly will help preserve your veneers.

When do I need Veneers?
- When you want to change your tooth’s colour, shape and size
- When you want to mask minor undesirable defects due to medications such as tetracycline, excessive fluoride or injuries due to accidents
- When you have slight gaps between your teeth, slightly misaligned or chipped teeth. Orthodontic treatments may be needed when you have moderately out of line teeth.
- Worn down tooth due to wear and tear
