Question 1

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Accepted Answer

A dental veneer is a very thin ceramic shell which is fixed over the surface of one or more teeth to improve the look and whiteness of your smile. They are a great way to quickly makeover your whole mouth, giving you an instant confidence boost. Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental lab based on an impression of your teeth, so you can be sure they will fit perfectly and look natural.

Question 2

Are They Right for Me?

Accepted Answer

Veneers are used for both cosmetic and restorative dental treatments. If your teeth have suffered damage over time or you’re simply unhappy with the way they look, veneers are a straightforward fix. They can mask issues such as:

Cracked teeth
Tooth staining
Chipped teeth
Tooth misalignment
Unsightly gaps between teeth

One of the key benefits of porcelain veneers compared to some other treatments is that, with proper care, they can last well over 10 years. Coupled with the fact that they’re very resistant to chipping and staining, this means porcelain veneers represent a long term investment in your oral health and self-confidence.

Question 3

What’s The Procedure?

Accepted Answer

To fit a veneer, your Liverpool dentist will begin by removing a small amount of the surface of your teeth. This creates space for the veneer and ensures that it can sit properly in place. Once this has been done, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth, which will be used to make the bespoke porcelain piece. When the implant is ready to be fitted, it will be securely fixed in place using a bonding agent. After a few quick checks, you’re ready to show the world your new smile!
