Dental Veneers in Brunswick

Holding beneer for replacementEver wish your smile looked a little different? Maybe it’s a chip you’ve lived with for years, teeth that don’t quite line up, or staining that whitening hasn’t helped. Veneers may be an option worth considering, depending on your teeth and goals.

At Brunswick Road Dental, we create custom veneers designed to suit your features and preferences. Whether you’re considering porcelain veneers for a longer-wearing finish or composite veneers as a more budget-friendly option, we’ll work with you to plan a look that fits your face, your lifestyle and your priorities.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin coverings that bond to the front surface of a tooth. They’re used to change the appearance of teeth with a conservative approach compared with some other restorations. Veneers can be used to adjust colour, shape and size, and they may help with the look of minor alignment concerns.

In many cases, veneers can address more than one cosmetic concern at a time. During a consultation, we’ll talk through what you’d like to change and whether veneers, whitening, aligners or bonding may be more suitable.

What Can Veneers Help With?

Veneers are often chosen by people who want to feel more confident about their smile. Depending on your situation, they may be used to improve the appearance of:

  • Discoloured or deeply stained teeth that don’t respond well to whitening
  • Chipped, worn or slightly damaged teeth
  • Small gaps between teeth
  • Mild crowding or teeth that appear uneven
  • Teeth with irregular shapes or sizes
  • Veneer Options Available

Porcelain

Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental lab and can be matched to the translucency of natural enamel. They’re generally designed to be durable and more stain-resistant than composite materials, though ongoing care and habits still matter.

Porcelain veneers often last around 10-15 years, depending on oral hygiene, diet, grinding and general wear. We’ll explain what to expect for your specific case.

Composite

Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured resin that can often be shaped directly onto the teeth in a single visit. They can be a good option for smaller cosmetic changes or for patients who prefer a lower up-front cost.

Composite veneers typically do not last as long as porcelain and may need polishing, repairs or replacement over time. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your goals and budget.

Your Smile, Planned for You

There’s no one “right” smile for everyone. During your consultation, we’ll consider facial proportions, bite, tooth shape, and how your smile looks in daily life – along with what you want to change. Our aim is a balanced, natural-looking result that feels like you.

This is collaborative. You tell us what you’d like to improve. We’ll explain what’s possible, what’s involved and what alternatives may make sense.

What To Expect

While every plan is different, the veneer process may include:

  • A cosmetic consultation to discuss goals, suitability and cost
  • Smile assessment and planning, which may include digital imaging
  • Tooth preparation, removing a small amount of enamel if required
  • Temporary veneers in some cases while final veneers are made
  • Final placement and bite checks, with any needed adjustments
  • Care guidance and regular checkups to support long-term wear

Frequently Asked Questions

Do veneers damage your teeth?

Veneers usually require removing a thin layer of enamel so the veneer can sit naturally. We plan carefully and aim to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Veneers aren’t reversible, so we’ll discuss risks, benefits and alternatives before you decide.

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers are considered long-term because enamel may be removed during preparation. The veneers themselves can wear over time and may need repair or replacement in the future.

How many veneers do I need?

It depends on your goals and which teeth show when you smile. Some people choose one or two veneers for a specific tooth, while others consider several upper teeth. We’ll recommend an option based on your smile and preferences.

Do veneers look natural?

Veneers are designed to look natural when they’re well planned and matched to your teeth and facial features. Shade, shape and translucency can be adjusted to suit the look you want.

Can veneers stain?

Porcelain is generally more stain-resistant than composite, but no veneer is maintenance-free. Composite may stain over time and may need polishing or replacement sooner. Good oral hygiene and regular cleans help support longevity.

Is the procedure painful?

Local anaesthetic is typically used for tooth preparation, and most people report mild to moderate discomfort at most. Some temporary sensitivity can occur afterward, and it varies from person to person.
