Beautiful, natural looking smiles with porcelain veneers Ruislip

Veneers are thin pieces of tooth-coloured porcelain that are custom made to naturally fit your mouth, mask smile imperfections like the following:

• Teeth with gaps or crooked teeth
• To cover heavily stained or discoloured teeth
• Worn or chipped teeth
• Misaligned teeth

Porcelain veneers make teeth look natural and healthy. They are very thin in appearance and are held in place by a special strong bond agent that is similar to super glue. The veneers require very little preparation and can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth.

Patients can also select a precise shade of porcelain to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth, or to brighten the shade of the front teeth, usually the upper ones, in general.

Veneers can also be used to close small gaps when orthodontics (braces) aren’t suitable.  If a single tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others

Dental veneers are light ‘shells’ that improve the shape and position of your front teeth. Made of porcelain or composite (white filling) materials, they are a popular cosmetic dental treatment for patients when front teeth are crowded, gapped, broken, or have treatment-resistant stains. They are bonded over your natural teeth to give you a smooth, white, and symmetrical smile.

Firstly, a consultation to assess the suitability of your teeth for this treatment will be carried out with the use of X-rays and photos. You will then require 2 visits to the dentist.

During the first session, your dentist will gently remove a small layer of your tooth enamel to support a suitable bonding surface for your veneers. Then a precise scan will be taken of all your teeth (instead of having impressions taken) and then temporary facing will be put over the teeth to protect them whilst the veneers are being made.

The scan of your teeth will be sent straight to the laboratory digitally and the new permanent dental porcelain veneers is created in the laboratory by trained technicians

When the veneers come back from the dental laboratory, we bond them to the teeth with a special dental adhesive after ensuring that you are pleased with the results. In some instances a follow up appointment to assess the progress of the dental treatment may be required, but this will be discussed with you by your dentist

Whether you are seeking to improve the appearance of a single crooked tooth or looking for a complete smile makeover, dental veneers are an ideal option for effective and affordable smile rejuvenation.
