FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers before booking your consultation.
How long do veneers last?
Well-planned veneers can last many years with good hygiene, bite protection when advised, and regular reviews. Longevity depends on habits and clinical condition.
Can veneers look natural?
Yes. Natural veneers depend on proportion, texture, translucency, edge design, and choosing a shade that suits the face rather than the brightest possible color.
Can veneers fix gaps or uneven teeth?
Veneers can improve small gaps, uneven shapes, worn edges, and selected alignment concerns. Larger bite or crowding issues may need orthodontics first.
What is the difference between veneers and zircon veneers?
Traditional porcelain or Emax-style veneers are often selected for lifelike translucency. Zircon options may be useful when strength or masking darker teeth is important.
Can veneers be whitened later?
No. Ceramic veneers do not whiten like natural teeth, so shade planning should be done carefully before bonding.

Cost depends on the number of teeth, material, gum condition, old restorations, bite needs, and lab planning. A consultation is needed for a responsible estimate.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional whitening is considered safe for suitable patients when gums, enamel, restorations, and sensitivity are assessed first.
