What are dental veneers?
Veneers are a popular, natural-looking, and highly effective way to disguise imperfections and enhance the teeth visible when you smile. The custom-crafted veneers act like a wafer-thin cover for the front of your teeth.
They are custom-made to seamlessly improve the colour, shape, alignment, or size of your teeth. Because they are highly advanced restorations, they look, feel, and reflect light just like your real teeth, giving you a beautiful, confident smile.
Why choose dental veneers?
If you feel self-conscious about chipped, stained, or slightly crooked teeth, it can significantly affect your confidence, your self-esteem, and how often you smile. Gaps between your front teeth or uneven edges can also make you want to hide your smile in photos or social situations.
Veneers not only beautifully transform your appearance, but they can also add a layer of protection to your teeth, helping you feel happy and proud to smile again. At Contemporary Dental, our experienced practitioners will only recommend veneers if we feel they are the best, healthiest long-term solution for your unique smile.

How do dental veneers work?
Getting veneers is a precise, tailored process that takes place over a couple of appointments. At every stage, your treatment is carried out by a highly experienced practitioner, so you can be sure you are in safe, gentle hands.
Step 1: Consultation
During your consultation, we examine your teeth and ensure your mouth is healthy and suitable for treatment. We give you the chance to ask any questions, discuss what you’d like to change, and outline your bespoke treatment plan and estimated costs.
Step 2: Preparation
To ensure your veneers sit perfectly flush and feel natural, we gently remove a very thin layer of enamel from the front of the teeth being treated. We then take a precise digital scan of your teeth, which is sent to a specialist laboratory where your bespoke porcelain veneers are custom-crafted.
Step 3: Precision bonding
Once your custom veneers return from the lab, we check the fit, shape, and shade against your natural teeth. Using an advanced, durable dental adhesive, we precision-bond the porcelain to the front of your teeth, fixing them firmly and securely in place.
Step 4: Smile!
We give your new smile a final polish, provide you with clear advice on how to look after them, and leave you to walk out of our Exeter practice smiling with absolute pride!

Veneers are a durable, long-term solution but, like natural teeth, they are susceptible to damage if they are not well cared for. To keep veneers in optimum condition, it is important to brush and floss regularly. During your appointment, we will advise on the best cleaning techniques to keep your veneers and your mouth thoroughly clean and healthy. With the right maintenance, veneers can last for up to 30 years.
Yes, they will. If you are only getting a single veneer or treating a couple of teeth, we carefully match the colour, translucency, and shape to your surrounding natural teeth, so it blends in completely seamlessly. Some patients choose to have teeth whitening before getting veneers so we can match the porcelain to their new, brighter smile. This creates a smile makeover solution.
With the right maintenance and excellent oral hygiene, porcelain veneers are incredibly durable and can last for up to 30 years.
Not at all. We use a local anaesthetic during the preparation stage to ensure the area is completely numb and you feel comfortable. You might experience minor sensitivity for a few days after the preparation or final fitting, but this easily settles and can be managed with standard over-the-counter painkillers.
Veneers are bonded to the front teeth. To make space for the veneers we will first need to carefully remove a thin layer of enamel from the surface of the teeth that are being treated to ensure the most comfortable fit. We take a digital scan of the teeth, and the dental veneers are crafted in a specialist laboratory to fit the precise shape of each tooth. Finally, they are precision bonded to the tooth to fix them firmly in place.
Veneers are ideal for healthy adults looking to improve the appearance of stained, chipped, slightly crooked, or spaced teeth. However, your teeth and gums must be healthy before we begin. If you clench or grind your teeth heavily or have complex structural issues, we may recommend alternative treatments or protective guards. We will thoroughly discuss your suitability at your consultation.
