Your appointment

The length of the appointment will depend on a number of factors. You will need 2 appointments The first appointment is usually 30 minutes to prepare the tooth & take impressions (moulds) It then takes 20 minutes to fit the veneer a week or 2 later.
One of the main advantages of veneers is the preparation is minimal, so there is very little drilling. The minor adjustments are to ensure an excellent fitting veneer.

A shade guide will be used to select the correct colour for the veneer.

Impressions are taken of the mouth which are sent to the laboratory.

On your second visit, usually a week later, the veneer is fitted. You & the dentist will ensure the colour & fit is correct.

The cost of improving the shape, or colour of each tooth can vary. Please speak to our dentists about the cost of veneers.
