Porcelain veneers are one of the most trusted and popular cosmetic dental treatments for achieving a stunning, long-lasting smile. At Emergency & Walk-In Dentist Cardiff, we offer bespoke veneer treatments that enhance the shape, colour, and symmetry of your teeth, without excessive drilling or discomfort.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, improving both aesthetics and confidence. Veneers can correct a variety of issues, including:
- Discoloured or permanently stained teeth
- Uneven, chipped, or worn-down teeth
- Mild misalignments or gaps
- Irregular shapes
Whether you’re after a subtle enhancement or a full smile makeover, veneers can be tailored to suit your needs.
Will My Teeth Need to Be Drilled?
Many patients worry about needing their natural teeth filed down. The good news? Minimal or no drilling is often required.
In some cases, we can place no-prep veneers directly on your existing teeth. If minor preparation is needed, it’s usually extremely conservative – just enough to ensure a perfect fit.
Does It Hurt?
Not at all. Veneer treatment is pain-free for most patients. When preparation is minimal, local anaesthetic may not even be necessary. If required, we use gentle techniques and small doses to ensure your complete comfort.
How Will I Know What They’ll Look Like?
We believe in visualizing your smile before committing. Using a diagnostic wax model (known as a trial smile), you’ll preview your results before any actual treatment begins. This way, you’re in full control of the final look.
How Do I Choose the Right Colour?
We’ll guide you through the entire process with the help of our head ceramist, who helps ensure the most natural and flattering shade.
Many patients choose to undergo teeth whitening first, so we can match your veneers to a brighter, whiter natural smile.

How Do I Care for My Veneers?
Veneers are designed to function just like natural teeth. With proper care, they can last for many years. Here’s how to maintain them:
- Brush twice a day and floss daily
- Avoid using your teeth to open packages or bite hard objects
- Visit our dental hygienist regularly for professional cleanings
