Ceramic Veneers

Thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape and alignment, used to address chips, gaps, worn edges or stubborn discolouration. Each veneer is custom-made and shade-matched for a natural result, with minimal preparation of the underlying tooth. For patients wanting a lighter-touch or more affordable option, the clinic also offers composite veneers built up directly in a single visit.

Veneers are thin, custom-made facings bonded to the visible surface of the front teeth to improve their appearance — evening out colour, reshaping chipped or worn edges, closing small gaps and creating a more uniform, brighter smile. Ceramic (porcelain) veneers are the premium option: each is individually crafted to a precise shape and shade, and the ceramic reflects light in a way that closely mimics natural enamel, giving a result that is both natural-looking and stain-resistant. At Unimedex, treatment starts with a planning discussion about the shape, length and shade you are aiming for, so the result suits your face and the rest of your teeth. Preparing a tooth for a ceramic veneer usually involves removing only a very thin layer of enamel to make room for the shell and ensure it sits flush, after which an impression or digital scan is taken and the veneers are crafted before being bonded securely in place. Because veneers are a cosmetic treatment, a healthy foundation matters — the dentist will check that the teeth and gums are sound and may recommend a hygiene visit first. For patients who want a more economical or more reversible approach, the clinic also offers composite veneers, which are built up directly onto the tooth in a single appointment using tooth-coloured resin; these cost less and require little to no enamel removal, though they are generally less hard-wearing and stain-resistant than ceramic over time. The dentist will talk through which option best fits your goals, budget and the condition of your teeth, and veneers are often combined with whitening of the remaining natural teeth for an even result.
