If you feel too self-conscious to smile it means your teeth are seriously affecting your quality of life.
The good news is that there are safe and quick ways to fix this.
If the problem lies with the colour, shape or size of your teeth an easy solution is veneers – thin porcelain shells that are individually crafted for each tooth to give a beautiful new smile. Each veneer is permanently fixed in place on top of your natural teeth, using a special bonding adhesive. With careful cleaning and the right care, veneers can offer a wonderful way to give you brighter, straighter teeth.
Dental veneers are used to mask imperfections and create a more uniform smile, that is balanced in terms of shape, shade and size of the teeth.
Veneers can be used to:
Improve the shape of a tooth, or teeth
Repair a broken or chipped tooth
Create a straighter smile
Enhance the shade of the teeth
Your dental veneers will fit over your existing teeth to conceal flaws such as gaps, crooked and chipped teeth, and stubborn stains. Each dental veneer will be made for you, taking into consideration your individual concerns and smile goals in order to create the perfect shape and shade for you. You may require single or multiple veneers, depending on your own unique needs, and your dentist will be able to discuss your options during your initial cosmetic consultation.
It is important to understand that in order to fit veneers, your dentist will need to make permanent alterations to your enamel so that the veneers fit properly. This means that veneers are not a suitable option for everybody, so those who have weak or damaged teeth may need to consider an alternative route to their perfect smile, but we will be happy to discuss other options with you.
You can have complete peace of mind that we will be careful to make a detailed assessment and evaluation of your suitability for veneers, for both this treatment and as part of your long-term care plan, based around your clinical, financial and emotional needs.
If you feel that veneers might be for you, our dentists will take the time to fully assess your mouth, discuss the process with you and answer any questions you may have so you can make an informed decision in your own time.
For patients who decide to go ahead with dental veneers, you will need several visits to the practice to complete the treatment.
Initially, your dentist will prepare the teeth by removing a tiny layer of enamel. This can be carried out without anaesthetic, but we are happy to use this if you would prefer. Detailed impressions of your teeth will be taken, which will then be used by the dental laboratory to produce your individual, personalised veneers that are exactly the shape, size and colour required to create the smile of your dreams.
While your dental veneers are being crafted, we will place temporary versions. These will be strong and highly aesthetic – the only thing better will be your permanent veneers. Once your veneers are ready, you will return to the practice so your dentist can prepare your teeth and fit the new veneers.
We will talk to you about the best way to look after your new veneers, which could include hygiene therapy appointments. You can then get on with your life and have the confidence to show off your new smile to the world.
Hygienist and dentist were both very professional and helpful. It was a pleasant and reassuring experience.
Dental veneers are designed to last a long time, which is why they are an investment in your smile. They are made from the highest quality porcelain, which is strong, long lasting, and resistant to stains. With good care and maintenance your dental veneers should last for 15-20 years before replacements are required. Your dental and hygiene team will provide advice and bespoke care to help you maintain your new smile.
You can care for your dental veneers the same way as you would with natural teeth - by brushing them with a fluoride toothpaste for two minutes, twice a day, and flossing between the teeth daily. In addition, you should keep up with your routine dental and hygiene appointments so that your dental team can ensure everything is looking healthy and beautiful.
Only natural teeth can be whitened with tooth whitening gel. If you would like whiter teeth, a course of teeth whitening treatment is recommended prior to dental veneer treatment. Once you have achieved your desired shade, we can match your dental veneers to your natural teeth.
No. Your dental veneers will be strong and functional and act just like natural teeth, so you can enjoy your normal diet and favourite foods without any concerns.
Initial consultations for cosmetic dental treatments such as Invisalign or dental implants are completely free.
