Veneers are the ideal way to make dramatic and instant changes to your smile. No matter what your budget, we can get you smiling with renewed confidence thanks to Porcelain and Composite (Instant) Veneers. Many people assume they need an entire set of veneers, but this is rarely the case. Instead, most people average between 2-6 veneers along their front teeth to improve their smile. 

So, just what is the main difference between the two and how does it all work?

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are made using a very fine layer of tooth-coloured porcelain which is then bonded into place over your natural tooth in order to both improve its aesthetics and protect the damaged surface. As Seapoint Clinic only uses veneers which are handcrafted by highly skilled technicians in Da Vinci Studios California, it makes us one of Ireland's premier cosmetic dental clinics. 

Before your veneers are bonded into place, we will arrange a digital smile simulation in our in-clinic Digital Smile Design Studio. By doing so we are able to show you exactly how your new smile will look before treatment begins, meaning you can alter your smile and ask any queries you might have ensuring your smile is just how you want it be.

Instant Veneers

Instant Veneers, otherwise referred to as composite veneers, are an excellent noninvasive option which gives you instant results. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers require no prep of your natural teeth. Instead, you'll have an initial consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic dentists and from there you can get a brand new smile in as little as one hour at your next appointment! It really is that simple. As your natural teeth don't require any prep, your dentist will carefully layer a composite material onto your teeth to improve their shape, size and colour.
