Veneers

If you are looking for a way to improve your smile, then you may want to consider dental veneers. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They can be used to correct a variety of dental issues, including gaps, chips, and misshapen teeth.

Dental veneers are made from either porcelain or composite materials. Porcelain veneers are more durable and stain-resistant than composite veneers. However, they also tend to be more expensive. Composite veneers are made from a resin material that can be easily matched to the color of your natural teeth.

How are veneers applied?

The veneer process begins with a consultation with one of our dentists to see if you are a good candidate for the procedure. During this consultation, the dentist will examine your teeth and mouth to make sure that veneers are the best option for you. They will also take X-rays and impressions of your teeth.

If you decide to move forward with veneers, your next appointment will be to have the veneers bonded to your teeth.

This appointment will take place over two visits.

First, the dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel. This is done so that the veneers can be bonded more securely to your teeth. Next, they will place temporary veneers on your teeth while the permanent veneers are being made.

Once the permanent veneers are ready, you will return to have them bonded to your teeth. Your dentist will first clean and polish your teeth. They will then apply a strong adhesive to your teeth and place the veneers on top. A special light is used to harden the adhesive and bond the veneers to your teeth.

Suitable candidates for veneers are:

• People with gaps in their teeth
• People with chipped or misshapen teeth
• People with discolored or stained teeth

Things to consider before getting veneers:

Veneers are a permanent solution. Once the enamel is removed from your teeth, it cannot be replaced.

Veneers are not suitable for people with gum disease or decay. If you have these conditions, they must be treated before you can get veneers.

Veneers are an expensive procedure in the UK and US. Porcelain veneers can cost $500-$1,000 per tooth. Composite veneers are less expensive, but they also tend to be less durable and stain-resistant. Thankfully, our handpicked clinics are considerably cheaper without compromising on quality.

You will need to take care of your veneers just as you would your natural teeth. This means brushing and flossing regularly and visiting the dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.
