Custom-designed porcelain and composite veneers to perfect your smile's appearance.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are a popular cosmetic solution for improving the appearance of your smile, addressing a variety of aesthetic concerns. Veneers are bonded to the natural tooth structure, creating a seamless and natural-looking enhancement.
At Clayton South Dental, we offer both porcelain veneers and composite veneers, allowing us to tailor your treatment to your specific needs, aesthetic goals, and budget. Both options provide excellent results, transforming your smile with remarkable precision.
Dental veneers are an excellent option for correcting a range of cosmetic dental imperfections, including:
When professional whitening cannot achieve the desired brightness due to intrinsic stains.
To restore the natural shape and integrity of teeth damaged by minor chips or fractures.
To close small spaces between teeth or correct slightly crooked teeth without orthodontics.
To create a more uniform and harmonious appearance for teeth that are too short, long, or oddly shaped.
To restore the protective outer layer of teeth that has been eroded due to grinding or acid reflux.

The process for dental veneers typically involves a few appointments, ensuring a precise fit and beautiful result:
STEP 1
We discuss your smile goals, assess your oral health, and determine if veneers are the right option for you. We may use digital smile design to preview your new smile.
STEP 2
A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the tooth surface (for porcelain veneers). Impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab for custom fabrication. A temporary veneer may be placed.
STEP 3
Once your custom veneers arrive, we'll bond them securely to your teeth. We'll make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and a beautiful, natural-looking result.
STEP 4
We'll check your veneers every time you come in for a check up and provide home care instructions to ensure you get the best longterm result with your new smile.
When considering dental veneers, choosing the right dental practice is crucial. At Clayton South Dental, we offer:
Correct multiple imperfections simultaneously for a dramatically improved smile in a short time.
Veneers are custom-matched to your desired shade and translucency, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Especially porcelain veneers, are highly resistant to stains from coffee, tea, and tobacco, maintaining their brightness.
Composite veneers often require less tooth preparation, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
A beautiful, harmonious smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and overall quality of life.
Advanced 3D planning allows us to map out your treatment and visualise your future smile.
Porcelain or ceramic veneers are custom-fabricated in a dental lab from durable, stain-resistant porcelain and typically require two visits. They offer superior aesthetics and longevity (10-15+ years). Composite veneers are made from a tooth-coloured resin applied directly to your teeth in a single visit. They are more affordable and reversible but may not last as long (5-7 years) and may be more prone to staining.
The procedure is generally not painful. For porcelain veneers, a small amount of enamel removal might cause some sensitivity, which is managed with local anaesthesia. Composite bonding is typically pain-free and doesn't usually require anaesthesia.
Caring for veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing (twice daily) and flossing. Avoid using abrasive toothpastes. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also essential to ensure their longevity.
Veneers can correct minor misalignment or small gaps between teeth, providing a straighter appearance without orthodontic treatment. However, for significant orthodontic issues, clear aligners or traditional braces might be a more suitable and comprehensive solution.
