Dental veneers are an ideal way to completely transform your smile. Helping improve the shape, shade, colour and size of your teeth. Not many people realise though the different versions of dental veneers that are readily available to them. Thanks to advancements made in dental technique and technology, it's never been easier to get the smile you've always wanted. But what exactly are the main differences between porcelain and instant veneers?

Instant Veneers

Instant Veneers are an excellent way to improve your smile in as little as 45 minutes! What's even better is that it gives fantastic results without damaging your natural tooth beneath, as it requires no preparation! Maintaining a health, happy smile is so much easier thanks to our non-invasive technique. On the day of your initial consultation, a member of our cosmetic team will assess your suitability and in some cases may recommend teeth whitening. Once you're both happy with the shade of white you'd like your smile to be, your dentist will expertly layer the composite veneers around your natural teeth to your desired shade and shape.

Porcelain Veneers

Our porcelain veneers are handcrafted by skilled ceramic technicians in Da Vinci Studios, California. They are made using a very fine layer of tooth-coloured porcelain which is then bonded over your natural tooth to improve its overall aesthetics and help improve the damaged surface. As this is one of our most popular forms of treatment, our cosmetic team at Seapoint Clinic has the most experience in the country in providing award-winning, natural looking smiles. We can even arrange for a Digital Smile Design session in our in-clinic photo studio, where you can see how your smile will look before treatment even begins! It's a great way for you to discuss with your cosmetic dentist how exactly you want your smile to look.
