Veneers designed around your smile
Veneer planning is about more than choosing a shade. We consider the shape and position of your teeth, how your bite comes together, your gum line and the natural details that make your smile individual.
Veneers cover the front surface of selected teeth and can change their shape, colour and visible spacing. At The Ruthy Clinic, we plan the proposed design with you, considering factors such as material, translucency, texture and how the veneers will work with the surrounding teeth.
Every treatment plan is individual, with the design shaped around your teeth, features and preferences.
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. Preparing and making your veneers
Your dentist will explain how much preparation is proposed for each tooth before work begins. The veneers are made to the individual 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.
