Porcelain & Composite Veneers
There are now more ways than ever before to improve your smile. A growing trend among the Irish public are people opting for veneers, both porcelain and composite. But how do you know which suit your specific needs? The main differences between the two are preparation time and cost.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are made of a very fine layer of tooth-coloured porcelain which we then place over your natural teeth. This helps improve the size, shape and colour of your teeth as well as helping to protect the damaged surface below. At Seapoint Clinic, we use porcelain veneers that are expertly designed by technicians in Da Vinci Studios, California. By opting for only the finest materials available, Seapoint Clinic is the premier choice in Ireland for top of the range, quality and above all else, natural looking smiles.
Instant veneers is a great treatment because it can be done in just one visit. There's no drilling of your natural teeth, no need for numbing and it gives really lovely results.

Composite Veneers
Otherwise referred to as Instant Veneers, composite veneers are the best choice to make drastic improvements to your smile in the shortest possible time. Among the most popular forms of treatment at Seapoint Clinic, composite veneers don't require any preparation of your natural tooth unlike their porcelain counterpart. Instead, you simply come in for an initial consultation where one of our cosmetic dentists will assess your teeth. In some cases, we may recommend teeth whitening if you want your teeth to come up a shade or several. From here you will then have your composite veneers placed and in some cases can leave Seapoint Clinic with a brand new smile in as little as one hour. It really is that simple!
