I was recently transferred from Johannesburg to Durban, whereupon i found myself having tooth issues. After Monique worked her magic on me and 3 root canal treatments later i hadn't lost my smile :) In my humble opinion the best and most gentle & caring Dentist i have had the privilege of meeting. Thank you for being so kind to me.

Before and After

Unhappy with Your Smile? Veneers Could Be the Solution.

Do you find yourself hiding your smile because of chipped, stained, uneven, or gapped teeth? You’re not alone. Many people feel self-conscious about imperfections that affect their confidence. The good news? Veneers offer a simple, effective solution. They’re thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front of your teeth, instantly transforming your smile. No invasive procedures, no lengthy treatments—just a flawless, natural-looking smile that you’ll love to show off.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality porcelain or composite resin. They’re designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, enhancing the shape, colour, size, and overall appearance of your smile.

Whether you’re dealing with discolouration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignment, veneers offer a versatile solution that looks and feels completely natural. They’re carefully crafted to match your unique facial features and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth—giving you a flawless, radiant smile without anyone knowing they’re there.

FAQs

General Invisalign Questions

Veneers are typically made from high-quality porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain offers a more natural, translucent look and is highly durable, while composite veneers are quicker to apply and more cost-effective.

Yes! Our veneers are custom-designed to match the colour, shape, and texture of your natural teeth. Thanks to advanced technology like Digital Smile Design (DSD), we ensure they blend seamlessly with your smile.

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years (or longer), while composite veneers typically last 3–5 years. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene will help extend their lifespan.

Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation. However, they may need replacement over time. Composite veneers are less invasive and easier to modify or repair.

Most patients find the procedure painless. We use local anaesthesia during preparation, and any post-treatment sensitivity is usually mild and temporary.

Absolutely! Veneers are an excellent solution for closing small gaps, creating an even, symmetrical smile without the need for braces.

The cost of veneers in South Africa can vary widely based on the material (porcelain vs. composite) and the number of teeth being treated. Prices typically range from R3,000 to R15,000 per tooth. We’ll give you an accurate quote during your consultation.

On average:

Porcelain veneers: R8,000–R15,000 per tooth
Composite veneers: R3,000–R6,000 per tooth
Prices can vary based on the complexity of your case and the dentist’s expertise.

The cost depends on factors like the number of veneers needed and the material chosen. Book a consultation to get a personalised cost estimate tailored to your smile goals.

For a full smile makeover with 6 veneers:

Porcelain veneers: R48,000–R90,000
Composite veneers: R18,000–R36,000
Payment plans are available to make treatment more affordable.

A full set of veneers (usually 8–10 teeth) can cost anywhere from R60,000 to R150,000, depending on the materials used and the level of customisation required.

For just the front two teeth:

Porcelain veneers: Approximately R16,000–R30,000
Composite veneers: Approximately R6,000–R12,000

Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent treatment because they require some enamel removal. Composite veneers are less invasive but may need more frequent maintenance or replacement over time.

Veneers cover only the front surface of the tooth, ideal for cosmetic improvements. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used for more extensive restoration when a tooth is damaged or weakened.
To prepare teeth for veneers, a thin layer of enamel is gently removed to create space for the veneer to fit naturally. This process is quick, minimally invasive, and ensures a perfect fit.
In dentistry, veneers refer to thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance, covering imperfections like discolouration, chips, or gaps.
