Porcelain Veneers in London

Our porcelain veneer treatment process at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic:

If you think you’d be interested in improving your smile, four main steps are needed: 1) check-up/hygiene/impressions; 2) mock-up/approval of the project; 3) preparation and impressions; 4) veneers fit.
Let’s look at it in more detail:

Step 1 – the dentist will examine your teeth, photograph and document the case extensively, and ensure that veneers could be indicated. We will also ensure that there aren’t any underlying dental problems. Impressions (digital or conventional) could be taken at this stage in order to create a wax-up (idealised teeth model) so that you can see, with a high degree of precision, what the final result would look like.
Step 2 – In a very simple and reversible procedure, the dentist could transfer the wax up onto your teeth. We call this mockup and it will give you an exact idea of what the final outcome would be. It allows the patients to approve the project without any concerns.
Step 3 – This step consists of performing minimally to no preparation of the enamel of the teeth. High magnification, preparation guides, and utmost respect for teeth biology will ensure no harm will be done. At the end of this appointment, the dentist will fabricate temporary veneers which would also look very similar to the final ones.
Step 4 – Veneer fit. This appointment usually takes place 3 weeks later, which is the time needed for a world-class technician to craft the porcelain veneers. After your approval, the restorations will be bonded to your teeth with microscopic precision.
