Veneers improve the appearance of chipped, worn, irregularly shaped and heavily filled teeth, and achieve that beautiful white smile you have always dreamt of. Veneers are often shown on makeover programmes because they can completely transform your smile.
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are custom made and bonded to your teeth. They usually involve very minimal tooth reduction, and are incredibly strong and durable. They have a very natural appearance.
With regular examinations with our dentist in Liverpool and good oral hygiene measures, veneers should generally last more than 10 years.
Placement of Porcelain Veneers
Before the finished porcelain veneers can be fitted to your teeth, we must remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of the teeth. This makes space for the veneers and helps bond the porcelain to the teeth by roughening the bonding surface.
A thin layer of dental adhesive is then applied to the teeth, and the porcelain veneers are placed. The process can take several visits to achieve outstanding results you will be proud to show. In select cases, you may not require any preparation of your teeth.
Most patients I see are nervous, self-conscious of their teeth and think that nothing can be done. They're always surprised at the options available and how we can help them. Sometimes very little treatment can make such a dramatic change. The most satisfying part of the job is not only seeing the difference in a person's teeth, but the difference in the person; more confident, smiling and not worrying about coming to the dentist.
