What are some of the reasons to consider veneers?

People choose to get veneers for a variety of reasons, such as:

Covering discolouration, chips and cracks
Correcting misaligned and broken teeth
Lengthening short teeth
Closing visible gaps and spaces between teeth
Changing the overall shape and appearance of teeth

What are the different types of veneers?

We at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic design veneers in London using different ceramic materials. However, there are several ways to prepare the teeth for veneers and different types of veneers. Those include:

Non-prep veneers: These are ultra thin veneers which are placed without grinding the tooth down.
The „normal“ veneer: In this case parts of the tooth are ground down depending on the severity of the correction and replaced with ceramic.
Composite veneers: Composite bonding material that resembles the solution used in fillings is used to the desired effect.
Removable veneers: Temporary veneers are made of dental resin and are easy to remove. They function as a short term replacement until the permanent veneers are placed.

How long do veneers last?

Because ceramics are a compatible and robust material, the veneers we create are designed to last 20 or more years, so long as you follow good oral hygiene habits.

What is our veneer placement process?

Once you’ve determined that veneers are right for you, you can expect the following process for our treatment:

First, we examine your teeth and gums for a dental condition, such as periodontal disease or tooth decay.
Next, our dental technician creates a digital or conventional wax-up, or idealised teeth, so you can grasp what the end result will look like.
Then, we grind down your real teeth to prepare for the veneers, while keeping as much of your existing, healthy teeth as possible.
Once the teeth are prepared, we take a digital scan of them.
A plaster or printed plastic model is then created in our master dental laboratory using your impressions.
The dental technician uses the model to press and layer veneers thus creating ceramic shells.
We then place the veneers into your mouth to try them on. If satisfied, we use a special adhesive cement to attach them right away. If displeased with minor details, we can reshape them until they fit just right.

Potential damage that could happen to your veneers

While veneers are built with strong material, there is a chance that they could break or wear down. The most common causes of potential damage include:

Trauma: Accidents that happen in everyday life, such as tripping or falling, or those that occur when enduring contact sports like football or hockey.
Smoking: This habit can cause tooth loss, which ultimately leads to losing your veneers.
Neglecting to follow healthy hygiene habits.

How to take proper care of your veneers

Keeping your veneers in top shape is just as important as taking care of your real teeth. Prioritise the following healthy oral care habits in your daily routine:

Brushing twice a day is critical.
However, brushing after every meal is even more helpful. Be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste and leave 30 minutes after the meal before you brush.
Cut smoking out of your life.
This habit can lead to various oral diseases and causes discolouration of the teeth and veneers.
Visit the dentist regularly.
Your dentist can give you a better idea about the current and future state of your veneers.

Other tooth or teeth repair options

For some, veneers are just the first step to achieving a splendid smile. Some of our other treatment options, such as teeth whitening or gum correction, could be the missing puzzle pieces to satisfy your needs and gain the confidence to smile at any given moment.
