Porcelain Veneers in Camberley
Ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of your teeth for a permanently beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of dental ceramic, custom-made to fit over the front surface of a tooth. They are the gold standard cosmetic solution for transforming smiles affected by discolouration, chips, wear, gaps, or slight misalignment. At Accord Dental Practice in Camberley, veneers are fabricated by specialist dental laboratories to precise specifications, ensuring a natural translucency and fit that is indistinguishable from healthy tooth enamel.
Porcelain Veneers - Key Benefits
- Transform colour, shape, and alignment in one treatment
- Natural translucency - mimics the appearance of real enamel
- Stain-resistant ceramic - outlasts composite bonding
- Minimal tooth preparation (0.5mm) - conservative technique
- Long-lasting - 15 - 20 years with proper care
- Custom-made by specialist dental laboratory
The Veneer Process
Your cosmetic consultation includes a smile assessment, shade selection, and digital planning. Minimal enamel preparation (typically 0.5mm) is carried out under local anaesthetic. Impressions are sent to a specialist laboratory. Temporary veneers are placed while your permanents are made (1 - 2 weeks). At the fitting appointment, veneers are bonded using specialised adhesive cement and the bite is checked.
Porcelain Veneers vs Composite Bonding
Porcelain veneers last 3 - 4 times longer than composite bonding and are more stain-resistant. However, they require a small amount of irreversible tooth preparation and cost more. Composite bonding is reversible, faster, and more affordable - making it a good option for some patients. Dr. Gadde will help you choose the right treatment at your free consultation.
