What are Dental Veneers?
The fastest way to refresh your smile and your confidence.
At Lidums Dental, we use thin porcelain covers that sit on the front of your teeth to gently brighten and reshape your smile. Veneers can help if you have stains that will not lift with whitening, small chips, worn edges, gaps or teeth that look a little uneven or short. For many people, veneers are a simple way to move from hiding their smile to feeling proud of it, often in just a few visits.

Why Choose Porcelain Veneers
Our porcelain veneers are made from advanced ceramics that closely resemble natural enamel. They give your teeth a luminous, natural finish that is stain resistant and made to stand the test of time.
What you will love
- A “Did you do something different” kind of smile that still looks like you, just fresher and carefully tailored to your facial features, lip line and bite.
- Long term colour stability, so your smile stays bright with far less yellowing over the years.
- Handcrafted detail from experienced ceramists who match the shade, texture and translucency to your other teeth.
- Flexible payment options, including interest free plans and Smile Now Pay Later, so you can spread the cost in a way that suits you.
Choosing Between Porcelain and Composite Veneers
Both options can freshen your smile. The best choice depends on your lifestyle, timing and budget, and we are here to guide you through it.
Porcelain veneers give the most natural translucency, strong stain resistance and a longer life, often around ten to fifteen years or more. They are ideal if you are looking for a premium, very stable result with careful control over the shape and symmetry of your smile.
Composite veneers or bonding can work well for smaller changes, younger patients or tighter budgets. They are placed in the chair in a single visit and are easier to repair, although they are more likely to wear and stain and usually need more maintenance over time.
At your consultation we will show you porcelain and composite results side by side, talk through the pros and cons in simple terms, and recommend what we believe will look and feel best for you now and in the years ahead.

Dental Veneers FAQs
What are dental veneers made of, and what does Lidums Dental use?
Veneers are ultra-thin shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their colour, shape, and size. At Lidums Dental, we use high-quality porcelain — the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry — because it most closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. Dr Arnis Lidums, as a Board Qualified Prosthodontist, works closely with skilled dental technicians to ensure every veneer is custom-crafted for a natural, seamless result.
Do porcelain veneers damage your natural teeth?
This is one of the most common concerns, and it’s worth addressing honestly. Placing veneers does require a small amount of enamel to be removed from the tooth surface. This is permanent and irreversible, which is why the decision should be made carefully with a specialist. However, when the process is carried out conservatively by an experienced prosthodontist like Dr Lidums, the preparation is minimal and the long-term structural integrity of your teeth is preserved. Poorly fitted veneers from less experienced providers carry a higher risk — specialist care makes a significant difference here.
Is the veneer process painful?
The preparation appointment is done under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some patients experience mild sensitivity in the days after preparation while wearing temporary veneers, but this settles once the final porcelain veneers are placed. For patients with dental anxiety, Lidums Dental also offers sleep dentistry (IV sedation), making the entire experience comfortable from start to finish.
Do porcelain veneers look natural, or will they appear too white?
When designed well, porcelain veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. At Lidums Dental, shade, shape, and translucency are all carefully planned in consultation with you before anything is made. The goal is never a “Hollywood white” result unless that’s specifically what you want, it’s about creating a smile that looks like a better version of yours. Dr Lidums’s prosthodontic training means aesthetics and proportion are always considered alongside function.
How long do porcelain veneers last, and can they stain?
Porcelain veneers placed by a specialist typically last 10–15 years or longer with proper care. Unlike natural tooth enamel, porcelain itself is highly stain-resistant — coffee, tea, and red wine are far less likely to discolour your veneers than your natural teeth. However, the bonding edges where veneer meets tooth can be susceptible over time, which is why regular hygiene appointments and good at-home habits remain important.
What happens if a veneer chips or breaks and can I get just one?
Porcelain veneers are durable but not indestructible. If a veneer chips or fractures, it can often be repaired or replaced without affecting adjacent teeth. As for getting a single veneer, yes, it’s technically possible, though matching a single veneer precisely to your existing tooth colour and shape requires significant skill. Dr Lidums will assess whether a single veneer will achieve a seamless result or whether treating a small group of teeth would give you a better overall outcome.
