A perfect confident smile awaits

Veneers are thin porcelain prosthetics that replace worn and damaged tooth enamel that is visible when you smile.

Porcelain veneers are an effective treatment for:

• Cover surface damage and wear
• Hide discolouration
• Lengthen short teeth
• Fill gaps between teeth
• Make teeth a uniform height and shape
• Cover minor crooked teeth

Veneers start from £895 and are priced per tooth.

Typical treatments use 6 veneers on the top front teeth giving you a new smile when you smile.

Full mouth veneers use 20 teeth across both upper and lower jaws to completely refresh your smile.

Veneers last for up to 15+ years with care. To keep your veneers looking great you should:

• Attend regular check-ups and hygiene appointments
• Brush using a soft bristled toothbrush
• Use a water flosser to clean between and around each tooth
• Avoid biting into hard, crunchy and sticky foods
• Avoid tomato and berry based food and drink that can stain your teeth.

Veneers replace a thin layer of tooth enamel with a custom made porcelain veneer that is bonded to the tooth. Veneers cover a wide range of issues including discolouration, cracks, chips and wear.

Each veneer is individually made for each tooth allowing patients to tailor the size, shape and colour of the teeth in their new smile.

Veneers can last in excess of 20 years with proper care but are unlikely to be a permanent prosthetic.

When veneers are too discoloured or wear has caused them to loose their perfect outlook, they can be replaced by repeating the procedure.

Nothing, if the procedure has been correctly done and they have been cared for. The seamless bond prevents bacteria from entering between the veneer and tooth, preventing hidden cavities.

Issues occur if this bond is imperfect or if the veneer or tooth become damaged due to a lack of care. This makes good oral hygiene, the use of a water flosser and regular check-ups and hygiene appointments necessary to maintain their longevity.

The worth of treatment is evident in the smiles and new found confidence experience by our patients. The real question is what that is worth to you?

Yes. Veneers are susceptible to staining usually through the consumption of tomato and berry based sauces and drinks.

Veneers are made from a porcelain ceramic, that is layered to achieve a natural translucence just like a natural tooth.

Each veneer is individually made in our in-house dental laboratory and is hand coloured to seamlessly integrate into your smile.

No. Veneers require less material removal compared to similar crown or implant treatments.

If you're considering veneers then you most likely already have damaged and discoloured teeth. While veneers do require teeth to be permanently modified by removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface, this is only done so that this damage can be replaced without adding bulk.

Issues occur when veneers have not been looked after allowing bacteria to enter between the veneer and tooth. This can cause hidden decay.

If your veneers are in need of replacement please contact your dentist to discuss your options.

1. Avoid food and drink that can stain your veneers
2. Brush with a soft bristled brush and use a fluoride toothpaste
3. Use a water flosser to clean between your teeth and around the gum line
4. Avoid biting onto hard, crunchy or sticky foods that can cause damage
5. Rinse your mouth with water throughout meals

No. Unlike a naturally porous tooth, porcelain veneers can not be whitened using gels, strips, powders, mouthwashes or natural homeopathic treatments. If staining is a concern please consider your choices before each meal. if it is a current problem please discuss your options with your dentist.

Benefits include:

• A perfect straight white smile that lasts up to 15 years with care
• Effectively hide mild cases of crooked teeth
• Hide stained and discoloured teeth
• Cover damage
• Create a uniform bite

Porcelain veneers should only be removed by a qualified dentist.

Accidental removal can occur if floss, picks or interdental brushes are improperly used to clean between teeth. We recommend using a water flosser to mitigate this risk. Similarly biting onto hard , crunchy and sticky foods risk dislodging or damaging a veneer and should be avoided.

Yes. Porcelain is a type of ceramic known for its translucency and hard wear. This makes it ideal for veneers where a natural hardwearing look is required.

Porcelain veneers are recommended if your teeth are damaged and you want a semi-permanent long lasting solution.

Composite bonding is recommended for a more affordable refresh that needs renewal more frequently.

If damage extends from the front to the back of the tooth or down the side then crowns may be a better choice. Veneers are a better choice if damage is on the top or front of the tooth.

They don't. Veneers are recommended when teeth have damage or discolouration and a long lasting result is desired. Alternative such as composite bonding deliver a similar result but add bult to your mouth and have a much shorter lifespan compared to veneers.
