What Are Veneers?
Dental veneers are custom-made, extremely thin tooth-coloured shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to refine the smile.
What Veneers Can Fix
Veneers work best when the concern is how a tooth looks rather than how it works. If any of these sound like yours, a Digital Smile Design consultation will tell you what is realistically achievable.
Discoloured Teeth
Colour that no longer responds to whitening. Veneers set a new shade that stays put.
Broken / Chipped Teeth
Worn or fractured edges rebuilt back to a natural shape and length.
Teeth with Gaps
Spaces closed by reshaping the teeth rather than moving them.

Benefits of Having Veneers
1
Stain Resistance
Porcelain does not take up stain the way natural enamel does, so coffee, tea and smoking have far less effect on the colour.
2
Easy Maintenance
No special routine. Brush and floss as normal, and your veneers are checked at your usual six-monthly clean and polish.
3
Getting Your Confidence Back
No more discoloured or misshapen teeth — a smile you are happy to show in photographs and in person.
Veneers Journey at Mori
Five steps from the first scan to your six-monthly review.
Consultation and Digital Records
A 3D iTero scan, X-rays and photographs, then a conversation about exactly what you want changed. Teeth shape, colour and length are some of the things discussed during this step.
Smile Simulation with Mock Up
A set of temporary teeth is placed onto your teeth to allow smile visualisation. This important step lets you see how your future veneers will look before anything is prepared.
Preparation for Veneers
Minimal reshaping of the enamel, then a final scan to the laboratory so your porcelain is made to the agreed shape and shade.
Fitting of Final Porcelain Veneers
Your finished porcelain veneers are fitted and bonded, and the fit, shade and bite are checked before you leave.
6-Monthly Check
Afterwards, your veneers are reviewed at your usual six-monthly clean and polish. There is no separate maintenance routine.

Porcelain Veneers vs Composite Bonding
Porcelain veneers change the colour, shape and symmetry of a tooth at the same time. Here is what that means in practice — and how it compares with the alternative.
