Porcelain Veneers
Ever wanted to address your dental concerns and achieve that white, “Hollywood” smile? Porcelain veneers are a great cosmetic solution for addressing dental concerns such as gaps in the teeth or discolouration while also recreating a natural-looking, long-lasting quality smile.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a type of dental veneer that is made from a ceramic material. This type of veneer is often used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, stained, chipped, or misshapen.
Why do people get porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a popular choice for people wanting to improve the appearance of their teeth. They are durable and can last for many years. Porcelain veneers are also used to fill in gaps between teeth. They can be custom-made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth.
Porcelain Veneers vs. Composite Veneers
The main difference between porcelain and composite veneers is that porcelain veneers are made from a ceramic material, while composite veneers are made from a resin material. Composite veneers are often less expensive and, in some cases, can be fitted in a single visit, while porcelain veneers are more durable and may last longer.

Porcelain veneers can last anywhere from five to ten years, depending on how well you take care of them and how often you visit your dentist for checkups.
The short answer is yes, porcelain veneers can stain. However, with proper care and maintenance, you can help to reduce the likelihood of this happening. Here are a few tips:
- Avoid foods and drinks that are high in staining potential such as coffee, red wine and tea.
- Make sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day (and floss once a day) using a toothbrush that is designed for stained teeth.
- Use whitening toothpaste or gel approved by your dentist on a regular basis.
No, porcelain veneers are a permanent cosmetic fitting and due to the process of placing veneers and the filing of your natural teeth, if reversed, your natural teeth will not look the same.
