Veneers

Veneers are very thin, custom made, specially shaped shells of porcelain that are attached to the front of your teeth. They are a simple solution to stained, badly shaped, worn or crooked teeth and we use some of the best laboratories in the UK to give you a natural and beautiful smile.

Procedure

• Very little preparation is needed and only a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth; just enough to prevent the veneer from making the tooth feel 'bulky'.
• Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth, carefully choose a shade to match your surrounding teeth and this impression is then sent to the laboratory.
• A temporary veneer or veneers will be made for you at this visit while your permanent veneers are being made.
• Once we have the veneers back from the laboratory (approximately two weeks) the dentist will fix these to your teeth using a bonding procedure. There is usually no need for any local anaesthetic injections at this visit.
• We ensure that you are completely happy with the appearance and you leave with a new and confident smile immediately.

How long will they last?

Veneers will need replacing from time to time but the dramatic improvement in appearance which can be obtained from this procedure is worth the effort.
