Dental Veneers
Improve the Shape, Colour and Balance of Your Smile
Dental veneers are thin, customised restorations placed over the front surface of selected teeth. They may be used to improve tooth shape, colour, spacing, minor alignment concerns, and overall smile balance.
At Icon Dental & Aesthetics, we assess your teeth, gums, bite, and cosmetic goals before recommending whether veneers are suitable for you.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are designed to create a more even and natural-looking appearance while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
They may help improve:
- Discoloured or stained teeth
- Chipped or worn tooth edges
- Uneven or irregular tooth shapes
- Small gaps between teeth
- Mild alignment concerns
- Teeth that appear too short or narrow
- Selected smile asymmetry
Veneers do not correct every dental problem. Significant crowding, bite issues, decay, or gum disease may need to be treated first.
Ceramic and Composite Veneers
Ceramic Veneers
Ceramic veneers are custom-made restorations created to match the shape, shade, and proportions of your smile. They are often selected for their natural appearance, colour stability, and durability.
Tooth preparation may be required depending on the condition and position of the teeth.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers use tooth-coloured resin that is applied and shaped directly on the tooth. They may be suitable for minor chips, small gaps, uneven edges, and selected colour or shape improvements.
Composite veneers can often be completed in fewer visits, although they may require maintenance or polishing over time.

Removing Fake or Poorly Installed Veneers
Veneers placed by unqualified providers or outside a proper dental setting may damage the teeth or gums. Problems can include poor fit, trapped plaque, gum irritation, decay, discomfort, or difficulty cleaning.
Our team can assess the veneers and surrounding teeth before discussing whether removal, repair, replacement, or further treatment may be needed. Removal must be planned carefully because the condition of the natural teeth underneath can vary.
Plan Your Veneer Treatment Carefully
A good veneer result should consider tooth health, gum condition, facial features, bite, and long-term maintenance. Our team can explain the differences between ceramic veneers, composite veneers, whitening, bonding, braces, and other cosmetic options.
