- Porcelain Veneers
Their likeness to real tooth enamel and 15+ year lifespan are just two reasons why our patients continue to choose this transformative treatment for smile enhancement.
Veneers are hand-crafted porcelain that hides imperfections in individual teeth. They stay robustly in place, thanks to a super-strong dental bonding agent, giving you natural biting and chewing capacity (as well as an amazing-looking smile, of course!)
Your consultation is an informal chat about how you would like to change your smile. We can perform a smile makeover for multiple teeth using veneers or improve imperfections on a single tooth – your treatment is fully personalised around your goals.
A fully costed and customised plan is established to meet your treatment goals. Digital dental scans of your teeth are taken to produce an accurate model of your smile. Using computer-aided design, your dentist can plan the changes needed to enhance your smile. This sophisticated software allows us to give patients an idea of how their teeth will look before they even start treatment.
Once you are happy with the digital mock-up, the lab will create your veneers. A small amount of tooth structure is removed, and your veneers are placed over the top with a strong dental bonding agent.
We’ve garnered a reputation for our cosmetic dental treatment. Our ethos is to use minimally invasive techniques to achieve maximum-impact results.
Our veneers are made with care, love and a meticulous clinical eye for detail.
Our dentists are great listeners. They will spend time with you during the consultation and trial smile steps of treatment to make sure you are happy with the proposed treatment plan, and if you would like any small adjustments made to your trial smile.
Once upon a time, veneers were associated with looking false and a little too “Hollywood” side. Today, the focus is much more on creating a result that suits your unique facial features. A proposed treatment plan for one patient will not produce the same results for another.
That’s why we take great care during the planning stages, making sure that we consider:
Our dentists adopt a conservative mindset when carrying out cosmetic dental treatment, working to protect as much natural tooth structure as possible.
As responsible dentists, we will never remove large amounts of tooth structure in the name of cosmetic dentistry. Our ethos is to provide the best dentistry using minimally invasive techniques.
We use the Gurel technique when preparing teeth for veneers to ensure we precisely remove only as much enamel as we need to.
We administer a local anaesthetic to numb the tooth being treated, so you shouldn’t feel anything uncomfortable during the process.
With good maintenance, veneers can last for 15+ years.
Porcelain is known for being a highly stain-resistant material, but it’s not invincible. Regularly consuming teeth-staining food and drink will eventually dull the shade of your veneers.
I have been there for 15 years! Andrew is fantastic at giving painless applications and has a very professional and warm attitude towards the patients. I would give higher than 5 stars if I could.
