Some people have naturally dazzling teeth and others get help to make them that way. Celebrities often have stunning smiles and many of them have treatment to make sure that they shine on stage and screen.
If you are dissatisfied with your teeth then you may like to consider veneers. Liverpool patients here at the Liverpool Smile Studio have benefitted from them as they improve the appearance of teeth by hiding stains and covering damage. They can even make teeth look longer, wider or decrease small gaps. Veneers are tooth-coloured porcelain shells that are attached to the the front teeth to give you a great smile that looks very natural. Porcelain is often used as it resists stains, is durable and looks similar to real teeth due to the way it reflects light.
What happens when I have veneers in Liverpool?
Your dentist will initially remove a very thin layer of enamel from the teeth to make space for the veneer to be fitted. When this has been done, an impression is taken of the teeth and the veneers are individually made in our laboratory. A special adhesive is used to attach them to the teeth and then your beautiful smile is ready to show to the world. Veneers are often used in makeovers as they are so effective in transforming the appearance of teeth. In most cases, veneers last for around a decade.
What are the advantages of veneers?
The most obvious reason that people have veneers in Liverpool is to achieve a fantastic new look but there are other benefits. Crowns are an option for damaged teeth but veneers are often considered to be a gentler approach as only a small amount of enamel is removed. Veneers can even be used to strengthen the teeth where the enamel is very thin. It is also a long-term solution compared to techniques such as whitening that only lasts for a few months. They can also be used to minimise gaps that are not suitable for treatment with braces. This improves the appearance of your smile and makes the teeth easier to clean as there are fewer spaces for plaque to accumulate in.
