Frequently Asked Questions
Ideally, yes. Moving your teeth into a better position first means we can place veneers with less preparation, they'll last longer, and the final proportions will look more natural. We can advise whether Invisalign first makes sense for your case.
Yes, in the sense that a thin layer of enamel is removed to bond them on, so you'll always need veneers on those teeth going forward. The veneers themselves typically last 10–15 years or more before needing to be replaced.
Not when they're well made. Our porcelain veneers have the same natural translucency as real tooth enamel, and they're colour-matched to suit your other teeth and your face. You get to choose how natural or how striking you want the result — we'll show you options before committing to anything.
Most patients feel little or no discomfort. The tooth preparation is minimal, and temporary veneers protect your teeth between your two appointments. We'll numb the area if needed.
Exactly like natural teeth — brush, floss, and see your hygienist regularly. Just avoid biting hard things like ice, pens, or fingernails, as these can chip the porcelain. No special products are needed.
Porcelain doesn't respond to whitening gels. That's why we recommend whitening your natural teeth first, then matching your veneer shade to the result you want. This way everything stays consistent from day one.
