What Are Veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin shells made of ceramic (porcelain) or resin that are bonded to the front (and sometimes back) surfaces of your teeth. They’re designed to instantly transform the look of your smile by improving the colour, shape, size, or alignment of your teeth. At FresherBreath Johannesburg, our veneers are custom-designed to look natural and fit seamlessly with your unique facial features.
Who Chooses Veneers in Johannesburg?
Veneers are a popular choice for individuals who want a flawless, camera-ready smile. Ideal candidates in Johannesburg include:
- People with discoloured or yellowing teeth
- Those with chipped, worn, or uneven teeth
- Individuals wanting to close small gaps without braces
- Anyone looking to correct slightly crooked teeth
- Patients seeking long-lasting cosmetic enhancements
Veneers are especially suitable for clients whose natural teeth are structurally sound but need aesthetic improvement.
The Procedure: What to Expect with Veneers
Your veneer journey at FresherBreath starts with a consultation and a customised smile design. Here’s how the process works:
- Assessment & Smile Design: We evaluate your teeth and design veneers that complement your face, smile, and personality.
- Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is gently removed to allow the veneer to sit flush with your natural tooth.
- Impression & Fabrication: We take impressions and send them to a dental lab for your custom veneers.
- Bonding: Once ready, the veneers are permanently bonded using dental cement, then polished for a flawless finish.
