Veneers designed around your smile
Veneers are thin, custom-made restorations designed to improve the appearance of selected teeth. They may be used to refine tooth shape, shade, proportions, symmetry or worn edges where suitable.
At The Ruthy Clinic in Launceston, veneers are planned through a detailed cosmetic dental assessment. We consider tooth health, bite, gum position, smile line, lip support and how the proposed result will sit within your face.
A good veneer result should not look separate from the person. It should feel balanced, natural and appropriate for the individual smile.
Veneers may be considered for
Discoloured teeth that do not respond well to whitening
Worn or shortened tooth edges
Uneven tooth shape
Minor spacing concerns
Teeth that appear narrow or small
Smile asymmetry
Existing cosmetic restorations requiring review
Veneers are not suitable for every patient. Tooth structure, enamel, gum health, bite forces and oral habits all need to be assessed.
How veneer planning works
1. Smile assessment
Your dentist assesses your teeth, gums, bite, smile line and cosmetic goals.
2. Design planning
The shape, shade, length and proportions of the veneers are planned carefully. Digital smile design may be used where appropriate.
3. Treatment discussion
Your dentist explains the options, risks, alternatives and maintenance requirements.
4. Preparation and fabrication
Where treatment proceeds, the teeth are prepared as conservatively as possible and custom veneers are created to match the design.
5. Placement and review
The veneers are fitted, checked and reviewed to ensure comfort, function and appearance.
Are veneers always the best choice?
Not always. Some patients may achieve their goals with whitening, reshaping, bonding, orthodontic treatment, replacement of old restorations or a combination approach.
The right pathway depends on the condition of your teeth, your goals and how much tooth structure would need to be changed.
