Cosmetic DENTAL
Redesign Your Smile with Veneers at Horizon Dental
Your smile plays a significant role in how you feel about yourself and how others perceive you. If you’ve ever wished for straighter, whiter, or more uniform teeth, dental veneers could be the cosmetic solution you’ve been searching for. At Horizon Dental, we offer expertly crafted porcelain and composite veneers that can transform your teeth—and your confidence—in just a few appointments.
Veneers are ideal for anyone seeking a natural-looking yet dramatic improvement in their smile. Whether you’re dealing with discolouration, gaps, chips, or uneven teeth, our personalised veneer treatments deliver long-lasting results with a seamless finish.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. Made from either porcelain or composite resin, veneers are bonded directly to your natural teeth to correct a range of aesthetic concerns—while maintaining the function and strength of your existing enamel.
Common Issues Veneers Can Fix:
- Deep or persistent tooth discolouration
- Worn-down or short teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor crookedness or misalignment
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Irregular shapes or uneven smile lines
Because veneers are so versatile, they’re often the go-to solution for patients seeking a complete smile makeover.
A WORD FROM DR. KOZOR
"One of the best parts of my job is seeing the joy and renewed sense of self-confidence my patients experience after smile enhancement."
Porcelain vs Composite Veneers: What’s the Difference?
At Horizon Dental, we offer both types of veneers to suit a variety of preferences, budgets, and treatment goals. Here’s how they compare:
Porcelain Veneers
- Longevity: Lasts 10–15+ years with proper care
- Aesthetics: Highly translucent and natural-looking
- Durability: Strong and resistant to stains
- Process: Typically requires two visits
- Preparation: Minimal enamel removal is needed
- Temporary Option: Yes, while the final veneers are crafted
Composite Veneers
- Longevity: Lasts 5–8 years
- Aesthetics: Very natural, though slightly less translucent than porcelain
- Durability: Completed in a single visit
- Process: More affordable upfront
- Preparation: Often no or minimal enamel removal
- Temporary Option: More prone to staining and wear over time
Our team will walk you through both options and help you determine which type best suits your smile transformation goals.
Before & After Transformations
The Horizon Dental Veneer Journey
Your veneer treatment at Horizon Dental is more than just a cosmetic procedure—it’s a collaborative smile design process. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Consultation & Digital Smile Design
We begin with a comprehensive assessment, including high-resolution photos and a digital scan of your teeth. Using advanced software, we’ll simulate your potential results and discuss your goals, preferences, and lifestyle factors.
This consultation typically takes 45 minutes and includes:
- Smile analysis
- Discussion of veneer types and benefits
- Budget and timeline planning
2. Temporary Smile Mock-Up (“Test Drive”)
Once we’ve finalised your design, we create a temporary mock-up that allows you to “test drive” your new smile. You’ll be able to see and feel what your new teeth will look like—giving you the chance to make any changes before committing to the final veneers.
This step takes about 1.5 to 2 hours and ensures you feel 100% confident moving forward.
3. Final Veneer Placement
On the day of placement, we carefully prepare your teeth (if needed), and the final veneers are bonded in place with precision. We check the fit, bite, and aesthetics before finalising everything.
The placement visit usually lasts 1–2 hours, depending on how many veneers are being fitted.

Are Veneers Right for You?
You may be a suitable candidate for veneers if:
- You have healthy teeth and gums
- You’re looking to enhance your smile’s appearance
- You don’t suffer from excessive teeth grinding (or are willing to wear a nightguard)
- You understand the benefits and limitations of veneer treatments
If you have active dental issues like decay or gum disease, we’ll need to address those first before proceeding with cosmetic work.
Caring for Your Veneers
Veneers are low-maintenance, but good oral hygiene is still essential. To extend their lifespan:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss regularly to protect your gum health
- Avoid biting on hard foods or objects
- Visit your dentist every 6 months for check-ups
- Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Porcelain veneers are considered a long-term solution and usually last 10–15 years or more. Because a small amount of enamel is removed during the process, they are not reversible. Composite veneers are less invasive and can be removed or replaced more easily.
Absolutely. Our veneers are custom-designed to match the natural shape, colour, and translucency of your teeth, ensuring a lifelike result. Porcelain veneers, in particular, reflect light in a way that closely resembles natural enamel.
No special products are required. Just brush, floss, and attend regular dental check-ups. We may recommend a nightguard if you grind your teeth to protect your veneers from damage.
Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant but do not respond to whitening treatments. We recommend whitening your natural teeth beforehand to match the final veneer shade.
Veneers are best suited to patients with good oral health and cosmetic concerns like discolouration, chips, or mild misalignment. They may not be ideal for those with untreated decay, gum disease, or excessive bruxism unless managed first.
This depends on your aesthetic goals. Some people opt for 2–4 veneers to correct specific teeth, while others choose 6–10 (or more) for a complete smile makeover. We’ll help you determine the ideal number at your consultation.
The veneer process is typically painless. Local anaesthetic may be used if enamel needs to be reshaped. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during and after the procedure.
Costs vary depending on the material used (porcelain vs composite), the number of veneers, and any preparatory treatments. We’ll provide a detailed treatment plan and discuss payment options during your consultation.
