Veneers: Your Questions Answered
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are able to transform your smile without the need to have length surgery. That means being able to have straight, natural looking, white teeth without ever wearing braces or opting for dental implants. A veneer covers your natural tooth, protecting it and improving any chipping, misshapen or coloured teeth.
What Different Types of Veneers Are Available at Seapoint Clinic?
Here at Seapoint Clinic, we provide both Instant Veneers and Da Vinci (porcelain) Veneers.
What Cost is Involved For Instant Veneers?
Instant Veneers are cheaper than their porcelain alternatives. Whereas porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory, there is a greater expense in designing and fitting the final veneer. However, instant veneers are handcrafted while you sit in the dentists chair and can be completed in a single visit. Quite often, people assume they need an entire set of veneers. This isn't always the case and more often than not, you will only require 2-4 veneers to help transform your smile.
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.

Can Veneers Replace Missing Teeth?
Veneers act in a similar fashion to a false nail and sits on your natural tooth. As it doesn't have a root, it cannot be used to replace missing teeth. To do so, you would require a dental implant.
Will I Feel Any Discomfort?
Not at all. In some cases people might have heightened sensitivity for a short period while brushing, but this soon passes. You can always talk to your dentist about your individual circumstances on the day of your initial consultation.
