Veneers London

Transform Your Smile with Custom Dental Veneers

If you have discolored, chipped, or gapped teeth, you should consider dental veneers to transform your smile. Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. Whether you are at Great Russell Street or anywhere in the city, Dental Clinic London is your one-stop destination for veneers treatment.

Our veneers dentists typically place 4 to 10 veneers on the front teeth and whiten the others, enhancing your appearance without needing to cover every tooth. With just two appointments, each about 2 to 3 hours long, you’ll see a significant improvement. We ensure your comfort throughout, and you can get back to your normal activities immediately.

Usually, you need two main dental appointments to complete this cosmetic dental procedure. The appointments will last for approximately between 2 to 3 hours each, on average and we try to make the entire experience comfortable and relaxed. You can resume your normal activities immediately afterwards.

Procedure of Dental Veneers Treatment

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Dental Veneers

1. Initial Consultation

• Assessment: Your dentist will evaluate your dental health and discuss your aesthetic goals.
• Discussion: Explore different veneer options (porcelain, composite) and decide on the best choice for you.
• X-rays and Impressions: If necessary, X-rays and impressions of your teeth are taken for a detailed analysis.

2. Treatment Planning

• Customised Plan: Your dentist will create a tailored treatment plan based on your needs and preferences.
• Mock-Ups: Temporary mock-ups may be created to give you an idea of the final result.

3. Tooth Preparation

• Trimming: A small amount of enamel (usually less than a millimeter) is removed from the tooth surface to accommodate the veneer.
• Impression: An impression of the prepared teeth is taken to fabricate the veneers.

4. Temporary Veneers

• Placement: Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth while the permanent veneers are being made.
• Adjustment Period: You will have a chance to get used to the feel and look of your temporary veneers.

5. Veneer Fabrication

• Laboratory Work: The impression is sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted.
• Material Selection: Veneers can be made from porcelain or composite resin, with porcelain being more durable and stain-resistant.

6. Veneer Placement

• Fitting: Your dentist will place the veneers on your teeth to check for fit and color match.
• Bonding: After ensuring a perfect fit, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive.
• Final Adjustments: Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable and natural bite.

7. Follow-Up

• Check-Up: A follow-up appointment is scheduled to ensure the veneers are properly placed and your gums are responding well.
• Care Instructions: Your dentist will provide guidance on how to care for your veneers to maintain their appearance and longevity.

Aftercare Tips for Veneers

• Oral Hygiene: Maintain regular brushing and flossing to keep your veneers clean and your gums healthy.

Types of Dental Veneers we provide:

The Porcelain Veneer

At Dental Clinic London, the porcelain veneers we favour are Emax veneers. That is because we think that the patented Lithium Disilicate material that Ivoclar Vivadent represents a revolution in dentistry. This material combines ease-of-use, aesthetics and superior strength, bonded to your teeth, giving you a natural look with the reassurance of high-quality durability.

Emax veneers are actually pressed ceramics and the superior strength and durability of this material allows them to be used in very thin layers and with no intrusive drilling of teeth down to peg shapes as is common with more conventional veneers. The other advantage is that bonding is onto the enamel of a tooth creating a stronger bond than is possible with bonding to the dentine (the inner part of the tooth).

The Composite Veneer

The composite veneer is sometimes known as a direct veneer and is made from composite materials that can improve the look of teeth in various ways:

The composite veneers created for you by your dentist will be fitted in just one appointment. With porcelain veneers, two or three appointments are usually necessary for the veneers to be created in a dental laboratory and fitted in the surgery. The composite veneer is also a very cost-effective way to improve the appearance of teeth and repair minor defects. The aesthetic effect, however, may not be as a natural looking as the porcelain veneer.
