What are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry option used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, worn, chipped, or misaligned. They are thin shells of porcelain or resin, measuring less than 1.5mm in thickness, that are cemented onto the front surface of the tooth. The process of getting veneers typically involves preparing the tooth, taking an impression, creating a custom veneer at a dental laboratory, and then cementing it in place.
Dental Veneers: A Solution for a Range of Dental Issues
Dental veneers are a great solution for a wide range of cosmetic and structural dental issues, including:
- Minor misalignment
- Uneven teeth
- Teeth discoloration
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- Gaps in teeth
- Wear and tear
The porcelain used in veneers mimics the natural colour of teeth, making them an ideal option for those looking to improve the appearance of their smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dental solution that is customized to fit the shape of a patient’s mouth. They are a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve your smile appearance. They are long-lasting and are maintained like natural teeth.
Flawless Smile with Custom-Fit Porcelain Veneers
Mek Dental has a professional staff offering excellent porcelain veneers in London. The procedure may require a patient’s teeth to be filed down slightly before being used and are permanently fixed to their teeth. They are made in an offsite lab and are tailored to fit exactly onto a patient’s teeth. Our dentists can also match the color of the veneers to the shade of your teeth so that neither you nor anyone else can notice anything different.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
- Natural tooth appearance
- Colour matching to actual tooth color
- Gum tissue tolerance
- High stain resistance
- Conservative approach to changing tooth color and shape
Veneers are more expensive and time-consuming than bonding, but less expensive than crowns and also conserve the natural tooth.

Composite Veneers
One of the most popular cosmetic dental solutions is composite bonding or composite veneers. It's an affordable option. Composite is a tooth-colored resin applied directly on teeth. The process is minimally invasive and can tremendously enhance teeth shape and color.
The procedure starts with a consultation appointment to evaluate the esthetic needs and suitability for treatment. Composite bonding should be done on at least 4 teeth to 10 teeth, to have symmetric beautiful results. Selection of shades varies accordingly. The more number of teeth treated, the lighter the shade you can select. If only 4 or 6 teeth are to be treated, then it's not preferred to choose a very light shade that will be easily distinguished from the other natural teeth. While if 10 upper teeth and 10 lower teeth would be covered, we can choose the lightest shade.
Composite veneers as compared to ceramic veneers are more cost-effective, but they're less durable than ceramic veneers and need to be protected from chipping caused by heavy biting forces. A night guard is a MUST with every cosmetic treatment for a lasting result.
