Whether buying new clothes or picking up toiletries at the supermarket, we all invest time in our appearances because, like it or not, first impressions count and people are hardwired to make snap judgements based on looks. It’s an instinctual thing. So when you’ve gone to all the trouble of putting together your outfit and cleaning up well, it can be a real downer when your smile lets you down.
Teeth that are misshapen, chipped, cracked, discoloured or gappy can draw attention to your smile for all the wrong reasons. That’s where we, at Liverpool Smile Studio, can help with veneers in Liverpool.
The lowdown on veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over the fronts of the teeth. They can be custom designed according to the size, shape and colour that best suits your unique smile. If you want your teeth to look longer, whiter or smoother, then veneers in Liverpool can do the job.
How long does it take to get veneers?
That all depends on how many veneers you want. For just a few to cover over a dental imperfection here or there, it takes 2 visits. If you’re looking for a complete transformation with a smile makeover, we’ll need an extra 1 or 2 visits to carefully plan your smile design.
What will happen during your treatment?
Getting veneers in Liverpool is a minimally invasive process. We will remove a thin layer of the outer enamel of your teeth first. This will create a slightly roughened surface, which will ensure the veneers bond more securely to your teeth, with the help of a special dental adhesive. This also ensures that your veneers lie flush with the rest of your teeth. Once the surface of your teeth is ready, we’ll attach the custom-made veneers and finish your treatment off with a polish.
How long will your veneers last?
With good dental hygiene at home and regular dental check-ups, your veneers can last 10 years or more. There really is no expiry date on them. So keep up with your brushing and flossing at home and enjoy your veneers for years to come.
