What are veneers?
What they can do for your smile
One of the first things you notice about a person is their smile. Many people feel insecure about their smile due to chipped or worn teeth, discoloured or stained teeth, irregular-shaped teeth, or gappy teeth.
See porcelain veneers or composite veneers.
Thankfully, we can employ many options in dentistry to fix these issues. On the surface, these problems may seem like cosmetic complications; however, if left untreated, they could, over time, negatively affect the function of the mouth and your oral health.
Whatever your concern, our team of highly advanced aesthetic dentists will be able to find the solution for you and create a plan that you are happy and comfortable with, leaving you entirely in control.
Types of veneers we offer
Veneers are just an artificial material on the tooth’s front surface, almost like putting a contact lens in the eye or a false nail over the natural nail. There are two types of veneers:
Composite Veneers
Composite Veneers involve placing a tooth-coloured composite resin onto the tooth’s surface. Done in one appointment. From £300 per tooth.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are made of ultra-thin porcelain, created in a laboratory, and then placed onto the front surface of your tooth. From £850 per tooth.
What are the advantages of having veneers?
Minimally invasive experience
- Veneers can instantly enhance and change your smile.
- You can create your unique aesthetics; we can personalise them to suit your face and personality.
- They can last for up to 20 years if properly maintained
- They are very natural
- They can be used as cosmetic procedures or to fix functional dental problems.
- The veneer process is irreversible: we do have to remove a small amount of the tooth surface to bond the veneer onto the surface. If you dislike them, new veneers can be fitted, but we cannot revert to the teeth’s original shape. This is why we employ the Trial Smile, to ensure that you are happy with the look, shape and colour before we commit.
- Chipping: Like natural teeth, veneers can also chip. If your teeth are prone to chipping and fracturing, we will discuss what options are available. One option is to stop any habits you may have, such as nail biting or chewing pen lids.
- Sensitivity: During the veneer process, it is customary to expect some short-term sensitivity; this usually occurs when you have the temporary veneers on before the permanent ones are placed
