The Advantages of Veneers in Weybridge, Surrey

Porcelain veneers are one of the fastest and most beautiful smile enhancements available today. A veneer is a thin tooth-shaped porcelain shell that is bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth to change their appearance. Patients can enjoy a smile that looks bright, healthy and well aligned. Flaws in your smile that have been a source of embarrassment for years can be fixed in two short visits, about two weeks apart.

Porcelain laminate veneers have numerous advantages for smile enhancement:

• The results of placement are so natural that no one will suspect that you have had cosmetic work done.
• Porcelain is extremely strong and durable.
• The procedure for placement is minimally invasive, just a small amount of enamel needs to be removed.
• Veneers are more stain resistant than natural tooth enamel.
• With appropriate care, they can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
• They can be customized to your natural aesthetics.
• The process is very fast, just two appointments.
• You can be proud of your smile again.
• They can correct a wide range of flaws such as uneven, crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, cracks, chips, damaged teeth, worn enamel, discoloration, asymmetry and teeth that are too short or too long.

The process of smile enhancement with veneers requires precision skills, such as those of the dental team at Portmore Dental Office. During the preparation visit, the dentist will remove about a half a millimetre of enamel from the front surfaces of the teeth to be treated. There is no discomfort involved because you will be comfortably numbed with local anesthesia. Once the teeth are prepared, impressions will be taken, and the shade of the veneers chosen. If necessary, the dentist will place temporary resin veneers over the prepared teeth to protect them. The impressions and relevant information is sent to the ceramist who makes the veneers.

In about two weeks, when the veneers are ready, you will return for placement. The dentist will temporarily place the veneers to see if any final adjustments need to be made for a precision fit. They will be hand sculpted if any adjustments are needed, then attached to the teeth with a bonding material. The bonding is hardened with a curing light and then the dentist cleans and polishes the veneers to a lustrous glow. You can walk out of the office with a brand new smile.
