Dental Veneers Glasgow

A confident smile can change how you feel every day. At Michael Kelly Dentistry in Glasgow, we provide custom dental veneers designed to transform the appearance of your teeth with natural, lasting results.

Whether you want to cover chips, close gaps, or improve the shape and colour of your teeth, veneers can create a smooth, bright, and balanced smile.

What Are Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that fit over the front surface of your teeth. They are carefully designed to match your natural tooth shape and colour, giving you a beautiful, even smile without looking artificial.

At Michael Kelly Dentistry, we use modern materials such as porcelain and composite to create veneers that look realistic and feel comfortable. Porcelain veneers are especially popular because they resist staining and reflect light like natural enamel.

What Veneers Can Fix

Dental veneers can improve a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:

Chipped or broken teeth
Gaps between teeth
Uneven or worn edges
Mildly crooked teeth
Discoloured or stained teeth that whitening can’t fix
Teeth that are irregular in shape or size

For many people, veneers offer a simple and effective way to refresh their smile without braces or more invasive treatments.

The Benefits of Veneers

Natural-looking results tailored to your face and smile
Long-lasting with proper care
Resistant to staining from coffee, tea and wine
Minimal preparation compared to crowns
Can improve confidence and self-esteem

Veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available. They can be placed on one tooth or across several to create a full smile makeover.

The Veneer Process at Michael Kelly Dentistry

Here’s what to expect when you visit our Glasgow clinic for veneer treatment.

Consultation
We start with a detailed consultation to discuss what you’d like to change. Using digital scans and photographs, we assess your teeth and create a plan that suits your goals.

Smile Design
We use advanced imaging to show how your new smile could look before any treatment begins. This helps you visualise the result and make informed choices about shape, shade and style.

Tooth Preparation
A very small layer of enamel is removed from the front of the teeth to make space for the veneers. We take digital scans rather than moulds to ensure a precise, comfortable fit. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent ones are being made.

Custom Veneer Creation
Your veneers are carefully crafted by skilled technicians to match your chosen shade and design. Porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory, while composite veneers can sometimes be completed in a single visit.

Fitting and Bonding
Once your veneers are ready, they are placed on your teeth, checked for comfort and bonded securely with dental adhesive. Your dentist will make small adjustments to perfect the look and feel.

Aftercare
We’ll provide guidance on caring for your veneers and maintaining your new smile.

Porcelain vs Composite Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

Strong and stain-resistant
Last 10 to 15 years with care
Require minor enamel removal
Offer the most natural appearance

Composite Veneers

More affordable
Usually completed in one appointment
Easy to repair or adjust
Slightly less durable than porcelain

Your dentist will help you decide which option fits your goals, lifestyle, and budget.

How Long Do Veneers Last

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, veneers can last for many years. Porcelain veneers generally last longer than composite, but both types can give excellent results when cared for properly.

To make your veneers last as long as possible:

Brush and floss daily
Avoid biting hard objects or opening packaging with your teeth
Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night
Limit dark foods and drinks that may stain over time
Visit your dentist for regular reviews and professional cleaning

Are Veneers Painful

No. Veneer treatment is usually painless. Local anaesthetic is available if needed, but most patients feel only mild sensitivity during preparation. Our dentists take care to keep you comfortable throughout.

Are Veneers Right for You

Veneers are ideal if you’re unhappy with the look of your teeth but your oral health is otherwise good. During your consultation, we’ll check your teeth and gums to make sure veneers are suitable.

If your teeth need other treatment first — such as fillings or gum care — we’ll include that in your plan so you can achieve the best long-term result.

Veneers FAQs

Do veneers damage your teeth?
No. Only a very thin layer of enamel is removed, just enough to make space for the veneer. This process is minimal and safe when carried out by a qualified dentist.

Can veneers stain?
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining. Composite veneers may pick up minor discolouration over time but can be polished easily.

Can I whiten my veneers?
Whitening treatments do not affect veneers. If you want a brighter smile, we recommend whitening your natural teeth first, then matching your veneers to the lighter shade.

Can veneers fall off?
It’s rare, but if a veneer becomes loose or damaged, it can usually be re-bonded or replaced quickly.

How many veneers will I need?
That depends on your goals. Some patients only need one or two veneers to fix a small flaw, while others choose a full set for a complete smile transformation.
