Types of dental veneers
- Porcelain veneers: are fitted over two to three appointments and require some preparation to existing teeth, for example a small amount of your existing enamel usually needs to be removed to bond the veneers directly to your teeth. They are crafted by specialist technicians in a dental laboratory.
- Composite veneers: can be applied in one visit. Layers of resin are applied directly to the tooth, masking any damaged enamel, which is then sculpted to the correct shape and size to look just like natural teeth. Composite veneers are a good option if you have stained or slightly damaged teeth, such as a chipped or cracked tooth.

What are dental veneers made from?
- Porcelain veneers are made from a type of glass, making them more resistant to stains than composite veneers. They also tend to have a brighter, shinier appearance.
- Composite veneers, on the other hand, are made from a tooth-colored resin (similar to filling material) and are more like plastic in nature. Because resin is porous, composite veneers can stain more easily, so it's important to have them professionally cleaned regularly.

How long do dental veneers last?
The lifetime of your dental veneers will be dependent on your dental care routine and your lifestyle. But they should last for quite a few years. Dental veneers will usually need to be replaced at some point, but by keeping up a good dental hygiene routine, you can ensure that they last for as long as possible. By visiting your dentist for a check-up at least once a year, and booking regular appointments with your hygienist, you will ensure that your veneers remain in the best possible condition.

Anita Matthews
The lady on reception was super friendly and professional with my son who has special needs. He was due to have his braces taken off. The dental technicians were equally friendly, professional and patient with him. He was very nervous but they were very reassuring. Thank you.
Ana Clara Asanuma
I had my aligner treatment at Portman Smile Clinic and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. The treatment was really quick and my tooth looks absolutely perfect now. I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but it was almost painless — the aligners were very comfortable and easy to get used to. All the orthodontists were amazing, very kind and professional, and they always explained everything clearly, which made me feel relaxed and confident. The whole team was lovely, from the reception staff to the nurses and management. Everyone was friendly, organised and welcoming every time I visited. I’m so happy I chose Portman Smile Clinic and I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about aligners, especially teenagers like me!

Portman Smile have been great with my daughter having a brace fitted. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the reception staff are really helpful.
How do I care for my dental veneers?
About one or two weeks after your dental veneers have been fitted, your dentist will review them to make sure that you are happy with the look and feel of them, examine your gums and answer any queries you may have. Treat your dental veneers as you would your own teeth. Just like the enamel on teeth, porcelain can still stain if you don't care for them properly.
