What Are Veneers?
Porcelain Veneers vs. Composite Veneers
Veneers are thin shells made from either porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Porcelain veneers are more durable and offer a realistic look and they last up to 10-15 years with proper care. Composite veneers, while more affordable, are less durable and may require more frequent replacements. We use both types of veneers here at Lucas Dental you can book in to find out which style suits your needs and budget.
Why Choose Veneers?
Our patients at Lucas Dental in the South Plympton area choose veneers for a variety of reasons, including to correct discoloured teeth, fix chips or cracks, close small gaps, and improve the overall shape and alignment of teeth. Veneers are an ideal choice for anyone who is interested in a smile makeover that looks natural and blends seamlessly with their existing teeth.
How Veneers Can Improve Your Smile
Correcting Cosmetic Issues
Veneers are a great option for addressing many cosmetic concerns. They can mask deep stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments, reshape uneven teeth, and close small gaps between teeth. Whether you’re dealing with chipped teeth, cracks, or discoloration, veneers provide an excellent solution for creating a uniform, bright smile. Our team can fit veneers that are perfect for your needs. You can book an appointment at Lucas Dental .
Enhancing Confidence
A beautiful smile can have a big impact on your self-esteem. With veneers, our patients often experience a significant boost in confidence, as their teeth appear whiter, straighter and are more polished. A well-executed dental veneers procedure can transform your smile, making you feel more self-assured in both personal and professional settings.
The Veneers Process: What to Expect
The Veneers Process: What to Expect
The first step in the veneers process is a consultation with one of our friendly staff members. During this visit at Lucas Dental will discuss your aesthetic goals and figure out whether veneers are the right option for you. Together we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, making sure the veneers fit your facial features and enhance your natural teeth.
Preparation and Fitting
To prepare your teeth for porcelain veneers, a small amount of enamel is gently removed to make space for the veneer. This ensures a natural fit and prevents the teeth from looking bulky. Impressions of your teeth are then taken by one of our friendly staff members, which are used to create custom veneers that fit precisely and match the shade of your natural teeth.
Placement and Bonding
Once your veneers are ready, they are carefully bonded to your teeth using a special dental adhesive. one of our friendly staff members makes any necessary adjustments to confirm a comfortable fit and natural appearance. The bonding process guarantees the veneers are securely attached, providing both durability and functionality.

Benefits of Veneers
Durable and Long-Lasting
Porcelain veneers are known for their durability and can last for many years with proper care. With regular dental visits to Lucas Dental and good oral hygiene, your veneers can maintain their appearance and function for up to 10-15 years, making them a long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile.
Natural Appearance
One of the main benefits of veneers is their natural appearance. Teeth veneers are custom-made to match the colour, shape and size of your existing teeth making sure they blend seamlessly into your smile. This realistic look makes veneers a favourite choice in cosmetic dentistry at Lucas Dental.
Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Treatment
Compared to other dental treatments like crowns or implants, veneers are a minimally invasive option. They require less removal of natural tooth structure and provide an excellent solution for improving the appearance of teeth without extensive dental work.
Caring for Your Veneers
Daily Maintenance and Oral Hygiene
To keep your veneers looking their best, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene. This includes brushing and flossing daily, as well as avoiding foods and drinks that could stain your veneers, such as coffee or red wine. Regular care will help to keep your veneers bright and beautiful for years to come. Book in for a veneers consultation at Lucas Dental .
Regular Dental Check-ups
Routine dental check-ups are important for maintaining the longevity of your veneers. During these visits, your dentist will check the fit and condition of your veneers, making any necessary adjustments to ensure they remain comfortable and functional.
Veneers vs. Other Cosmetic Options
Veneers vs. Crowns
While both veneers and crowns improve the appearance of teeth, they serve different purposes. Veneers are ideal for patients looking for cosmetic improvements, such as correcting discolouration or minor chips. Crowns are typically used for teeth that are more severely damaged or decayed, as they cover the entire tooth and provide more structural support.
Veneers vs. Teeth Whitening
For patients dealing with deep or intrinsic stains, veneers may be a better option than teeth whitening. While whitening treatments can effectively brighten surface stains, veneers offer a more permanent solution for discoloration that cannot be addressed with bleaching.
