About the treatment
Our dentists work closely with master technicians to produce restorations with stunning accuracy that look unbelievably natural.
And with a full suite of the latest digital dentistry and smile design equipment at our fingertips, we can plan your future smile, right down to the last detail.
Superstar Smiles
You’ve probably seen veneers before – they are the secret behind many Hollywood and celebrity smiles.
We use them to cover damage like breakages, chips and cracks, and they’re also helpful for closing minor gaps and hiding discolouration.
The veneer itself is an extremely thin but durable cover bonded to the teeth, a little like a false fingernail. When applied by our cosmetic dentists at Tavistock Dental, porcelain veneers are the ultimate in minimally-invasive aesthetic smile treatments.
Why Are Veneers So Popular?
Perhaps the most obvious reason for getting porcelain veneers is the immediate lift they give your smile. Unlike restorations such as bridges or implants, we place veneers onto your existing teeth, but the results speak for themselves.
We’ll create your new, natural-looking smile in a relatively straightforward procedure. You can choose to have veneers on just one tooth, or you could opt to give your entire smile a makeover.
Once placed, well-cared-for veneers can last over a decade, meaning your bright smile will shine for many years to come.
What to Expect From Your Porcelain Veneer Procedure
Before placing your veneers, we need to understand what you dislike about your teeth to ensure you get the best treatment.
We’ll start with a consultation where we’ll use the latest technology to assess your teeth and take a scan of your teeth. Then, using this information, we’ll carefully design your new smile and plan how we’ll create it.
We’ll send your information to the lab, where our skilled technicians will handcraft your beautiful bespoke veneers. Once they’re ready, we’ll get you back into the clinic to place them.
There’s very little preparation needed ahead of placing porcelain veneers. So that they sit snug on your teeth without protruding, we’ll carefully remove a fine layer of enamel off the teeth we’re treating.
At every stage of the veneer placement process, we want you to feel as comfortable as possible. For this reason, we’ll use a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area.
Once we’ve prepared your tooth, we’ll gently place the veneer into position. When we’re happy with how it looks, we’ll bond it to your tooth, ensuring it stays permanently in place.
Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers
We want your veneers to look great for as long as possible. While they are durable, just like your natural teeth, your new veneers may chip or break if proper care isn’t taken. Avoid chewing anything hard like ice, your nails, or pen lids to make them last.
Your new bright white smile won’t discolour in the same way as your natural teeth. That said, strong-coloured food and drink may still leave their mark. So always brush after eating or drinking anything that may stain.
Finally, your veneers will protect your teeth from further damage or decay; however, it doesn’t mean you’ll become immune to dental caries. Always maintain good oral hygiene standards and visit us twice a year for a full checkup.
