Porcelain veneers
Thin porcelain facings that change the shape, shade or surface of front teeth.
Could this treatment help you?
A veneer is a thin porcelain facing bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, shade or surface. Done well, a veneer looks like a natural tooth, not dental work.
Pearl Dental designs veneers with its onsite dental laboratory, so the shade and shape are agreed between you, the dentist and the technician who actually makes them.
This may suit you if
A front tooth is discoloured, worn, chipped or slightly out of line, and you want a longer-lasting, more stain-resistant result than composite offers.
Good to know
Preparing a tooth for a veneer usually removes a thin layer of enamel, which does not grow back — it is a considered decision, not a casual one, and where bonding or whitening would do the job with less, you are told so.
Porcelain does not decay, but the tooth under it still can. Veneers also eventually need replacing.
- Designed and made with the practice’s onsite laboratory
- Shade and shape agreed at a try-in before anything is final
- The full cost agreed before you start
- Step 1AssessmentThe teeth, bite and gums are examined and you discuss the result you want — and whether veneers, bonding or whitening is the right way to get it.
- Step 2Design and preparationThe teeth are prepared, impressions go to the onsite laboratory, and temporaries protect the teeth meanwhile.
- Step 3Try-inYou see the veneers on the teeth and approve shade and shape before they are bonded.
- Step 4Fit and bite checkThe veneers are bonded, the bite is checked and adjusted, and a review is booked.
Afterwards
Veneered teeth are brushed and flossed like any others. Avoid using them to open or bite hard objects, and keep regular check-ups — the margin where veneer meets tooth is what the dentist watches.

Questions patients usually ask.
How much do veneers cost?
It depends on how many teeth are treated. The complete cost is confirmed in writing at the assessment, before anything is prepared.
Veneers or composite bonding?
Bonding adds material with little or no drilling and suits smaller repairs; porcelain veneers resist stain and wear better but involve preparing the tooth. The assessment weighs both against what you want — you are never sold the bigger treatment where the smaller one would do.
Will they look natural?
That is the point of the try-in — nothing is bonded until you have seen the shade and shape on your own teeth in a mirror and agreed.
