Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “If only my teeth were a little whiter… straighter… more even…”? You’re not alone—and that’s exactly where porcelain veneers come in.
First Things First: What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are super-thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. Think of them like tiny covers that improve the shape, colour, and overall appearance of your smile—without looking fake or bulky. The porcelain material looks and feels just like natural enamel, but it’s even more resistant to stains (hello, coffee lovers!).
Step 1: The Chat
Your journey starts with a sit-down chat with Dr Saul. He’s all about listening to what you want. Whether you’re after a new natural-looking Smile or just want to tweak one or two teeth, Dr Saul will walk you through your options, take a close look at your teeth, and talk about what’s possible.
Step 2: The Smile Preview
Here’s the fun part—Dr Saul uses high-tech digital smile design tools to show you what your future smile could look like. We will take a digital scan and photos of your teeth. We then create a 3D model of what your teeth will look like. You’ll get to preview your veneers before anything is even touched. It’s like a dress rehearsal for your teeth.
Step 3: Prepping the Teeth (Don’t Worry, It’s Minimal!)
To get your teeth ready for veneers, Dr Saul gently shapes the surface of your natural teeth. It’s a minimal process, and in many cases, only a tiny bit of enamel is removed—just enough to make sure the veneers fit perfectly and don’t feel bulky.
Then digital scans are taken to create your custom veneers, you’ll get temporary veneers while the real ones are being made, so you can still smile with confidence.
Step 4: The Big Day – Fitting Your Veneers
Once your custom veneers are ready, you’ll come back in for your fitting. Dr Saul will place them, check the fit, and make any tiny tweaks to ensure they look and feel just right. When you’re both happy, the veneers are bonded permanently to your teeth—and just like that, your new smile is ready for the world.
Step 5: Smile, Smile, Smile
The results are instant and often, life-changing. Patients tell us they can’t stop smiling—and honestly, we love hearing that. Your veneers will look completely natural, and with good care, they can last many years.
