Sometimes we all need a boost to help us feel more confident, especially when our teeth have flaws. Luckily, dental veneers can help. These thin, sculpted porcelain or composite covers are very versatile and can transform your smile instantly.
At Liverpool Smile Studio, we offer customised dental veneers in Liverpool to patients who wish to have a smile makeover without undergoing many dental procedures. Veneers are very popular with our patients because they require basic preparation and can be fitted in just a few appointments.
What is the use of veneers in cosmetic dentistry?
Veneers in Liverpool have many uses, and they can change the shape, length, size and alignment of the teeth in one go. If you have misshapen, gapped, slightly misaligned or permanently stained teeth, then you should consider veneers.
Unlike dental crowns, veneers are seamless and don’t show discolouration between the restoration and your gum line. Moreover, veneers can be colour-matched to the colour of your natural teeth.
Having your dental veneers fitted
Veneers are either made of composite materials or porcelain. After removing a thin layer of your tooth enamel, the dentist will make an impression of the teeth that will be covered by veneers. These impressions will be used as guides for the design and creation of your veneers in Liverpool. This process can take from a few days to several weeks depending on the type of veneers you are after and the overall number of teeth covered by them. In some cases, composite veneers can be sculpted in the dentist’s chair after your dentist has reshaped, cleaned and prepared your teeth.
During your next visit to the dentist, your veneers will be applied to the surfaces of your teeth with the help of special glue. This procedure is not painful and will leave you with a beautiful and complete smile.
How to take good care of your dental veneers
Once your veneers are bonded to your teeth, make sure that you take good care for them so they can last for years. Your dentist is your ally in helping you keep your mouth healthy and clean while having veneers, therefore don’t forget to visit for regular check-ups and cleanings.
