Veneers
If you want to wow people with your smile, veneers could be the perfect treatment for you. Requiring only a subtle change, this treatment option will have a huge impact on your smile nonetheless. This treatment can be an ideal solution in cases where orthodontic treatment is unavailable. Giving you a natural, beautiful appearance, they are sure to give you that smile you’ve always dreamed of!
During your first visit, your dentist will take a small amount of enamel from your teeth in order to make space for the veneers. They will then take a mould of your teeth and determine their shade so that your veneers can be customised exactly to your teeth’s requirements. Once the veneers have been made in a laboratory, your dentist will bond them to your teeth and apply a special light for about sixty seconds to ensure they are secure.
WHY SHOULD I OPT FOR PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Porcelain veneers can be an excellent dental option for those struggling with tooth spacing, yellow teeth or crooked teeth. The veneer itself is a thin white shell that is bonded to your teeth and will give you the appearance you want. We offer porcelain veneers over composite resins, as they provide much more aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting results. Each veneer is customised for your teeth and will cover any unsightly chips or cracks.
Some benefits of porcelain veneers include:
- Brightening your teeth.
- Improving their shape.
- Closing any gaps.
- Adjusting their length and size if needed.
- Realigning crooked teeth.
- Eliminating discolouration.
- Maintaining your natural tooth composition.
WHY ARE THEY THE BEST OPTION FOR ME?
Porcelain veneers are such a good option as the procedure is non-invasive. Once your veneers have been fitted, you can go back to eating all your favourite foods, safe in the knowledge that they are resistant to stains! On top of making your smile more visually appealing, porcelain veneers will also benefit your oral health by closing any gaps between your teeth structures. This will reduce the likelihood of food getting stuck, which can lead to tooth decay.
HOW DO I KNOW IF PORCELAIN VENEERS ARE SUITABLE FOR ME?
If you’re looking to opt for porcelain veneers, your teeth should be moderately intact with minimal fillings. This is because the veneer shell needs to be able to bond to the natural tooth below.
Once your treatment is complete, your maintenance is pretty simple. All we recommend is that you maintain basic oral hygiene by brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily. In order to make sure trapped bacteria doesn’t cause plaque and cavities, make sure to pay adequate attention to where the veneer meets the gum.
