Dental Veneers
we specialise in cosmetic dentistry that enhances the look and feel of your smile. Our dental veneers provide a quick yet long-lasting way to improve teeth that are discoloured, chipped, uneven, or slightly misaligned. Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to feel more confident every day, veneers can give you the radiant smile you’ve always wanted.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They’re typically made of porcelain or composite resin and bonded securely to the tooth.
Veneers can dramatically improve the colour, shape, size, and alignment of teeth with minimal alteration to the natural tooth structure. Many patients search for “porcelain veneers Durham” or “cosmetic veneers near me” when they’re ready to upgrade their smile — and Castle View Dental Surgery is proud to offer these solutions locally.
Types of Dental Veneers We Offer
Porcelain Veneers
Crafted in a dental laboratory from high-quality porcelain, these veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and mimic the natural translucency of real teeth. They usually require two visits and a small amount of enamel reshaping.
Composite Veneers
Made directly on the tooth in the dental chair, composite veneers are more affordable and quicker to place. They’re ideal for minor imperfections but may need more maintenance over time compared to porcelain.
Smile Makeover Veneers
For a comprehensive transformation, we design a full smile makeover plan using veneers to reshape multiple teeth for a dramatic, natural-looking enhancement.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Aesthetic Perfection: Improve colour, shape, and symmetry of teeth.
Natural Appearance: High-quality porcelain reflects light like natural enamel.
Minimally Invasive: Often requires little tooth reduction.
Durable & Long-Lasting: Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years with proper care.
Quick Transformation: Significant cosmetic improvement in just a few visits.
Stain-Resistant: Porcelain is less prone to discolouration than natural teeth.
Consider Before Getting Veneers
Irreversible Procedure: Some enamel removal is required.
Not for Everyone: Patients with untreated decay, gum disease, or teeth grinding may need additional care first.
Maintenance: Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups are essential to extend veneer lifespan.
Cost: Porcelain veneers typically cost more than composite due to the lab work and material quality.
Repair or Replacement: Veneers may need replacing if they chip or wear over time.
