Veneers
Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic solution for achieving a flawless smile. These ultra-thin shells are custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth, masking imperfections such as stains, chips, gaps, or minor misalignments. Veneers are crafted from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, providing a natural look that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. At Aspiring Smiles Dental, we design veneers with precision and care to give you a smile that’s both beautiful and long-lasting.
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They’re ideal for people who want to enhance the colour, shape, size, or alignment of their teeth without extensive dental work. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and mimic the translucency of natural teeth, while composite veneers offer a more affordable and minimally invasive option.
