The second option available is made from porcelain, a more robust and durable material. During the process of fitting porcelain veneers, an impression of your mouth will be taken; this may involve a small area of the tooth beingreduced so your dentist can see how the shells will sit and how much is needed to be crafted. This part of the process happens before your veneers are made, so you will be provided with temporary veneers between these appointments. In your second appointment, the thin porcelain veneers will be cemented to the front of your teeth and shaped.
Porcelain veneers tend to be stronger, and they can also provide a more natural look for teeth; however, the application process is a little longer. The lifespan of porcelain veneers tends to be between 10 and 15 years, please note this is just a guideline as we have patients with veneers in situ 30 years later.
Emax & Zirconia veneers are very popular and highly recommended, we regard them to be at the higher end of the market giving the best strength and aesthetic result.
