Veneers
Spring is in the air and if you’re already dreaming of your summer holidays, you may want your smile to have that added sparkle. If you’re thinking about having a smile makeover, you may think that treatment times will be long and procedures may be invasive. However, many of our patients will testify that they have realised the dream of a perfect smile far more quickly and easily than they ever imagined.
Of course, each patient’s wants and needs are as individual as they are, but for a lot of our patients we’ve found that porcelain veneers are the perfect treatment. If you’re thinking about changing your smile, we’re happy to see you for a veneers consultation.
But what is a dental veneer? Put simply, it’s a thin sliver of porcelain that is custom made to cover either a single tooth or a full set of front teeth. Veneers are similar in concept to false fingernails and are carefully matched to the colour of your teeth before they are bonded to the front of them, ensuring a natural, healthy-looking smile.
Veneers can be used to correct a number of cosmetic dental problems, including stained or discoloured teeth, worn teeth, small gaps between the teeth or a tooth that is slightly out of alignment.
A huge benefit of treatment with veneers is that it is minimally invasive. A very thin layer of tooth enamel may be removed to help the veneers bond properly, but your veneers will be made to exactly the same thickness. For chipped teeth, the part covering the chipped area will be slightly thicker, so that it matches the rest of your teeth.
Another benefit is that treatment with veneers is very fast. Commonly, you will need just two appointments; the first to have impressions taken of your teeth and the second to have your veneers fitted. To book a veneers consultation, contact the practice reception today.
