Dental Veneers and Smile Makeover in Central London
Dental veneers are extremely thin layers of tooth coloured material, usually made from porcelain or sometimes resin composites. These are custom made to fit each individual patient and are used to attach to the front of a tooth to improve their appearance.
They are sometimes easily explained as being ‘false fingernails for teeth’; however, they are undoubtedly more sophisticated and infinitely stronger. Veneers are commonly used in cosmetic dentistry to transform smiles.
- to mask discoloured teeth where tooth whitening doesn’t work
- to restore a broken tooth
- to close gaps between teeth
- to align crooked teeth
- smile makeovers
Initially, a consultation will be arranged where you will be able to discuss what you would like to achieve by having veneers fitted. Your dentist will be able to discuss the best option for you at this stage and take any x-rays or impressions that are needed.
Thereafter, two visits are required with your dentist. The first visit is to prepare your teeth and maybe place temporary restorations. On the second visit your veneers will be fitted. You may also need to see a technician to make sure the colour match is as good as can be. The dentist may also ask you back for a review to check on your veneers. Your smile can be transformed within two weeks!
Once the local anaesthetic has been administered, you will not feel any pain at all.
This will depend on your individual circumstances. In general, veneers should be expected to last between five and ten years after which time; they may need to be replaced. Usually they can last for many years. Looking after your veneers will naturally make them last longer
Although porcelain is a strong material, you will have to remember you do have veneers. Brushing, flossing and an awareness when eating will prolong the life of your veneers.
Your dentist will give you any other appropriate information. Regular visits to your dentist and a dental hygienist is advisable to ensure you veneers last as long as possible
