Veneers

Thinking About Veneers?

Dr. Zeki at Johnstown Dental Practice is here to help you smile with confidence.

If you’re exploring veneers—whether to refresh a single tooth or transform your entire smile—you’re in excellent hands. Dr. Zeki has a special interest in veneers and welcomes both new and existing patients for personalised consultations. Together, you’ll map out a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, budget, and lifestyle.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They’re designed to refine shape, colour, and symmetry—an elegant upgrade that blends naturally into your smile.

The Benefits

Beautiful, natural appearance
Long-lasting results when cared for properly
Stain-resistant
Minimal preparation compared to crowns
Can correct multiple concerns at once such as chips, gaps, uneven length, or discolouration

Things to Consider

Irreversible treatment: A small amount of enamel is usually removed.
Potential for replacement: Veneers typically last 10–15 years before needing renewal.
Cost: They are an investment compared to other cosmetic options.
Possible sensitivity: Some patients experience temporary sensitivity after preparation.

How to Look After Your Veneers

Your veneers will thrive with gentle, thoughtful care:

Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
Floss or use interdental brushes regularly
Attend routine dental check-ups and hygiene appointments
Avoid biting hard items (ice, pen lids, nutshells)
Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth

With mindful maintenance, your veneers can stay luminous for many years.

Alternatives to Veneers

Depending on what you’d like to improve, Dr. Zeki may also discuss:

Teeth whitening – ideal for brightening your natural teeth
Composite bonding – a cost-effective way to repair chips or reshape teeth
Orthodontic treatment referrals – including clear aligners for straightening
Contouring and polishing – subtle adjustments for improved harmony
Airflow® stain removal – a comfortable hygiene treatment that lifts surface stains and refreshes your smile without altering tooth structure
Night guards – a custom-made appliance to protect your teeth if you clench or grind, helping preserve both natural teeth and any future cosmetic work

Whitening Before Veneers

If you’re dreaming of a brighter shade than your natural enamel, whitening beforehand is highly recommended. Veneers are colour-stable and won’t lighten later, so whitening first helps ensure everything blends seamlessly.
