“Dental veneers are thin, custom-made coverings that are bonded to the front of teeth to improve their shape and appearance – a bit like a false nail over a natural nail,” explains dentist Dr Emi Mawson. “With true veneers, they are very low risk because there is minimal preparation to the teeth. You may experience mild sensitivity, and the gums may need to adjust, which can usually resolve within a couple of weeks.” If you do decide to venture into the world of veneers, do your research. “Look at your chosen practice’s reviews and aftercare. If you feel you are being pushed into a procedure or your health concerns are not being answered, this is an immediate red flag,” says cosmetic dentist Dr Hanna Kinsella.
