What you need to know about this service
What happens at your appointment
Every visit at Dovers is clear, comfortable, and straightforward. Here is exactly what to expect.
Smile Design Consultation
Your dentist reviews your smile goals, examines your teeth, and discusses whether porcelain or composite veneers are the better option for your case, timeline, and budget.
Tooth Preparation
A thin layer of enamel (usually less than a millimetre) is removed from the front surface of each tooth. This is minimal but permanent — veneers are a long-term commitment. Local anaesthesia is used.
Impression & Shade Selection
A precise impression or digital scan is taken. Veneer shade and shape are selected in consultation with you — based on what looks natural for your face and what you want to achieve.
Bonding the Veneers
The finished veneers are checked for fit and appearance, adjusted if needed, and bonded permanently to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive and curing light. The transformation is immediate.
Why Lagos patients choose us for this treatment
Personalised Smile Design
We do not use a template. Every veneer case is individually designed to complement your facial features and meet your specific aesthetic goals.
Precision Fabrication
Veneers fabricated to millimetre accuracy ensure a natural fit, proper bite function, and long-term durability. Poor-fitting veneers cause sensitivity, gum problems, and early failure — quality matters.
Experienced Cosmetic Clinicians
Cosmetic dentistry requires artistry as well as clinical skill. Our dentists have experience designing and placing veneers that look natural, not artificial.
Honest Expectation Setting
We will tell you clearly what veneers can and cannot do for your specific case — and if another option such as whitening or bonding would give you a better result at lower cost.
Frequently asked questions
Veneers require a small, irreversible amount of enamel removal — so yes, once you have veneers, you will always need veneers on those teeth. Porcelain veneers last 10 to 15 years and then need replacing. This is an important commitment to discuss before proceeding.
Tooth preparation is done under local anaesthesia. After the anaesthesia wears off, mild sensitivity for a few days is normal. Once veneers are bonded, sensitivity resolves and the teeth feel completely natural.
Porcelain veneers are lab-fabricated, more natural-looking, stain-resistant, and longer-lasting (10-15 years) but require two appointments and cost more. Composite veneers are placed in a single appointment, more affordable, but less durable (5-7 years) and more prone to staining.
Yes. Veneers can close minor to moderate gaps between front teeth. For larger gaps or alignment issues, orthodontic treatment may also be recommended for best results.
Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss carefully, and avoid biting hard objects (ice, pens, fingernails). Attend regular check-ups so we can monitor veneer integrity and the health of the underlying teeth.
