There are many reasons why for patients in Liverpool, veneers are the ideal solution to their worn-down, chipped and discoloured teeth. Veneers are made from thin porcelain, and are in some ways similar to artificial nails, transforming the appearance of your teeth in just two visits to your dentist in Liverpool. Veneers are applied to the front surface of your tooth or teeth and are bonded into place, creating an instantly more attractive smile.
For many people, a veneer is the ideal way to restore the appearance of a chipped tooth, and a single one can be used to restore the natural look of your teeth which was lost when your tooth was broken. Although teeth whitening is a popular way to make your teeth look brighter, teeth can sometimes become permanently discoloured due to the use of certain medications. In this case no teeth whitening treatment can resolve this so you may decide that veneers are a better way of improving the appearance of your teeth.
Closing a gap
Another use for veneers is to close gap between the two front teeth instead of using braces to move the teeth. This is only effective when the gap is small but noticeable, again this is a much quicker solution than wearing braces to move the teeth.
Dental veneers are a good cosmetic solution to restore the appearance of the teeth if they have been damaged. The colour of the veneers can be matched exactly to the natural colour of your teeth. If you are considering having your teeth whitened as well as having veneers, you should have your teeth whitened before the veneers are made and fitted.
This is due to the fact that the veneers will not change colour in the same way as your natural teeth will. When veneers are fitted your dentist will need to remove some of the enamel from the surface of your teeth. This means that the procedure is not reversible, with proper care, veneers can last 10 years or more before they may need to be replaced.
