Veneers are a porcelain covering to the tooth that provide an appearance of white, even teeth and protect the enamel from further damage. They can either be built up inside the mouth or placed directly onto the tooth and bonded with a special resin cement to ensure they are secure. If you are looking for veneers, Liverpool Smile Studio has some fantastic options to choose from and will make sure they look as natural and impressive as possible.
Can I get veneers if there’s nothing wrong with my teeth?
Absolutely. Veneers are not just a restorative procedure, but also part of our smile makeover treatment, where we adapt your smile to become the best it can be. Veneers in Liverpool are readily available from our practice, simply give us a call or contact us via our website to book a free consultation, and we will be able to give you guidance about whether veneers are right for you.
Does the procedure hurt?
Ideally veneers are painless to fit, however a local anaesthetic is necessary to administer them, so there will be a small amount of pain in that process. If you are concerned about this, then we offer sedation as part of the treatment, so you will be able to simply fall asleep and wake up with your new teeth.
Does it take a long time?
The process will take approximately two visits to ensure the veneers are correctly fitted. However, if you are getting veneers in Liverpool as a result of a smile makeover, then we will need additional visits to plan our ‘smile design’.
How does it work?
As veneers are porcelain, they need to be firmly attached to the tooth so that they will not come loose. Porcelain is incredibly durable, which means that any adhesive connecting it to the enamel will need to be a strong one. To ensure that the veneer stays connected to the tooth, we will remove a thin layer of the front of the enamel, to ensure that the veneer has space to sit, and also to make sure the adhesive works to the best of its ability due to being stuck to a rougher surface. Further appointments are needed to ensure the connection is perfect, and the smile is exactly the way you envisioned it to be. The veneers are also expected to last for over ten years, if proper dental hygiene routines are kept, if so, this should also keep the teeth looking clean and white for that period too.
Will they look like real teeth?
The very purpose of veneers is to resemble regular human teeth, and thanks to our process, you will have specifically designed veneers. Liverpool Smile Studio prides itself on delivering the best customer service that it possibly can, which means guiding you through every step of the process. We also acknowledge that some people are scared of the dentist, or feel anxious about check-ups, fears which we want to dispel. If you want more information, then do not hesitate to contact us and ask for examples.
