Veneers are the best way to completely transform your smile, by improving their shape, size and colour. They can also be used to close gaps or straighten an out of place tooth. Here at Seapoint Clinic we offer two types of veneer - Composite and Porcelain. But, just what is the difference between the two?

Instant Veneers

Instant veneers, otherwise known as composite veneers, offers fantastic results without any preparation whatsoever to your natural teeth beneath. Maintaining healthy, beautiful teeth is so much easier with this advanced non-invasive treatment option. Following your initial consultation, your dentist will expertly layer the composite veneers around your teeth to your desired shape, shade and contour. You will leave the clinic straight away with a beautiful smile, not numb; ready to enjoy your new smile. It really is as simple as that!

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are made using of a very fine layer of tooth-coloured porcelain bonded over your own natural tooth to improve its aesthetics or to protect its damaged surface. As we only use veneers handcrafted by technicians in Da Vinci Studios, California, Seapoint Clinic is the premier choice in Ireland when it comes to getting a natural, beautiful smile.

Even before you get veneers we will normally arrange a smile simulation which will show you how your new smile is likely to look in our in-clinic Digital Smile Design. We can modify this as needed until you are happy without ever touching your teeth. Once you are happy we get the simulation converted into porcelain in California before we bond them in place for you. Da Vinci veneers can be made in practically any shade you wish and can provide you with a beautiful smile to be proud of.
