You can enjoy a range of benefits by getting dental veneers in London such as:
Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular options and are known to offer the best dental veneer treatment. Porcelain veneers continue to be the most common choice of dental patients. These ceramic veneers resemble your natural teeth colour, and are stain resistant and long lasting.
Several aesthetic imperfections can be addressed with porcelain veneers. This is a custom made restorative solution, fitting your dental anatomy perfectly. The dentist will remove some enamel from your tooth surface before placing the veneers. This keeps your new veneers in place by roughening the teeth surface and making them suitable for attachment.
Composite veneers are perfect for correcting mild cosmetic issues. These are made of tooth coloured resin to achieve the desired natural look.
Although composite and porcelain do not differ much, composite veneers are cheaper and are faster to place. However, these veneers last for less time and have a higher risk of discolouration. As composite veneers are made of the same tooth coloured material used during cavity fillings, they can be repaired without requiring complete replacement.
Lumineers are a special kind of veneer, reshaping your teeth. These serve as a great alternative to traditional porcelain veneers. Lumineers are usually very thin and can last years. However, these veneers are more vulnerable to getting chipped, reducing their durability.
During your initial consultation, our dentist will examine your dental health and address your aesthetic goals to make sure if veneers are the right treatment for you. After choosing which type of veneer is suitable for your teeth, the dentist will explain you the fitting process and expected results.
After your dental health evaluation, our dentist will tailor a personalised treatment plan as per your dental needs. For this, the dentist will collect your teeth impressions through X-rays. This is to check your teeth’s existing condition before the preparatory work; any cases of gum diseases or developing decay.
Our dentist then applies acid on your tooth surface to make it rough and then puts dental adhesive on it. In the case of composite veneers, the composite material it applied over the adhesive, creating the desired shape. A curing light is applied to set the composite material. After this the dentist will polish your tooth surface to make it look natural.
Porcelain veneers require trimming off a small amount of enamel from your tooth surface to support the proper fitting of the veneer. At this point, the dentist might use a mild anaesthetic during your enamel removal to make it painless. Impressions of your prepared teeth are collected finally to fabricate the veneers.
As your teeth are smoothened after collection of your dental impressions, our dentist starts working on them to make a perfect match to your teeth. Our team then places temporary veneers over your tooth surface. You need to keep wearing them until your permanent veneers are ready.
Our dentist will next clean your teeth, treat them with acid to make them rough, and then place the veneers on your teeth to check the colour match and fit. After getting the perfect match, the dentist bonds the veneers permanently to your teeth with the help of an adhesive. The dentist also makes necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort and natural bite.
Next our dentists will schedule your follow-up appointments to check your veneers are properly placed. You must also follow the instructions as suggested by the dentist to get the best looking and long lasting veneer treatment results.
The condition of the patient, desired outcome, and the veneer material determine which process your veneer specialist should choose for your veneer fitting. While straightforward procedures like correcting tooth colour is easy and needs less testing, complex cases like fixing misaligned teeth or covering a chipped tooth is much more difficult.
The longevity of a dental veneer depends on the material used for making the veneers, and what type of veneer it is. Veneers are designed to be as strong and long lasting as possible. This is to make sure they can withstand biting and chewing when fitting over your teeth. A good durable dental veneer should last for up to 20 years.
The cost of dental veneers in London can vary significantly depending on individual needs and several influencing factors. Currently, the price for a single dental veneer ranges between £450 to £1100, which includes a consultation session. For composite veneers, our fees start at £450 per veneer.
