Veneers are a non-surgical solution to problems including tooth gaps, cracked, chipped and stained teeth, and incorrectly-sized teeth. What’s more, it is normally incredibly difficult to tell the difference between your veneers and your remaining teeth. Veneers are also stain-proof. You can maintain your veneers in the same way you would treat your normal teeth.
After a consultation, giving you a full understanding of the process, why each stage needs to occur, and deciding that veneers are right for you, we can add the veneers. We usually need to scrape off a tiny amount of the existing tooth surface to ensure the veneer fits properly. This provides the right aesthetics while giving the tooth its function back. The process usually takes around three weeks and you will normally be given temporary veneers. The temporary veneers will give you an insight into how the end result will look and feel and gives us the chance to make adjustments if needed before the permanent veneers are fitted. Once this period is over, you can expect to have your bite function fully restored. The process cannot be reversed once the permanent veneers are in place.
We will need to use a gel to roughen up the tooth surface and make the bonding process more efficient. We will use a light wand to send heat through the veneer to the bonding agent and remove moisture to speed up bonding before eliminating any excess cement and polishing the veneer.
Veneers are suitable for anyone with slight gaps in their teeth, or cracked, chipped, and stained teeth. We have provided adults of all ages with veneers in the past. A number of A-list celebrities have invested in veneers but this does not mean that our solutions are out of your price range. Call today to find out more.
