Dental veneers are thin layers of porcelain that are usually placed on the front of a person’s teeth. Veneers can improve the appearance of your teeth to give a natural look and feel when:

    • Restoring chipped or broken teeth
    • Improving the colour of discoloured teeth
    • Modifying the shape and position of your existing teeth, especially in the cases of disguising gaps between teeth.

Our method of enhancing your smile with the use of veneers usually requires very little or no preparation of your natural teeth. Veneers can be made from porcelain (ceramic) or composite (white filling material).

Dental Veneers Procedure

Porcelain veneer bonding is a procedure used to correct imperfections of your teeth. It involves removing enamel from your teeth to make room for artificial veneers. The procedure takes place under local anaesthesia and it may take one to two hours or more depending on how many veneers are needed. When the veneers are finished, they’re polished and fitted with a special light-curing resin that will make them look just like natural teeth.


What Are The Different Types Of Veneers?

Our dentist will determine which type of veneer material will be best for you based on your teeth’s natural colour, as veneers are usually durable and stain-resistant, even for frequent coffee or tea drinkers.


There are 3 basic kinds of veneer materials:

1. Porcelain Veneers

A dental veneer can make changes to your teeth, giving them the size, shape, and colour that suits you best. Porcelain veneers are an especially popular choice because they last a lifetime. Some of the benefits of dental veneers include:

    • They are thinner than other types of veneers
    • Your teeth can retain a very natural appearance
    • With proper care, porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years
    • Ordinarily, none of the natural teeth needs to be shaved down

2. Ceramic Veneers

Ceramic veneers are an excellent choice for many patients and are, typically, considered one of the most popular types of veneers due to their: 

    • Natural appearance
    • That will mimic your natural teeth
    • Durability

3. Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are an inexpensive and single-visit option for some patients due to their price and durability. Here are some of the other benefits of these types of veneers:

  • They require less tooth preparation as compared to other veneers
  • Composite veneers are typically half the cost of the porcelain veneers
  • High-quality composite veneers can look natural


How Can You Tell If Veneers Are Right For You?

Before making any decisions, it is important to know what they are and whether or not they are right for you. Porcelain veneers are a better choice than many other types of teeth-whitening procedures. Porcelain veneers require less maintenance and last longer than many other tooth-whitening procedures. Our dentists at Dove Dental & Wellbeing Spa in Earlsfield have experience in this treatment and can help you decide whether or not you should get porcelain veneers.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers:

A few benefits of porcelain veneers are:

    • You will have whiter teeth and a better smile
    • Basic cosmetic teeth flaws will be corrected
    • Porcelain veneers are permanent when placed properly
    • If a tooth’s enamel is compromised, it can be repaired
    • They look and feel natural
    • They can prevent tooth discolouration
    • Dental veneers are easy to take care of
    • Increased confidence

Difference Between Veneers And Implants

Though they’re more fragile than dental implants, veneers can provide a fixed and very convincing look. This is a good option for patients with weakened dental structures who don’t have the support to anchor an implant. Veneers are usually made of porcelain, but they are typically composed of porcelain. However, dental implants can be used to replace missing teeth, provide anchorage for dentures, and support dental crowns. Implants are commonly made of titanium, but they can also be composed of stainless steel. Implants are placed into either the gums or bones. Implants will stay cemented in place and would not fall out on their own without removal by a dentist.

Porcelain Veneers FAQ

What Type Of Veneers Last The Longest?

Porcelain veneers are often considered the best option because they can last a very long time and they can look the most natural.

Do Veneers Hurt?

The process of getting porcelain veneers is rather painless. They’re fitted rapidly and usually only take one to two sessions to put on. So, if you have any anxiety, we can numb your mouth with a local anaesthetic before performing the treatment to make sure you are comfortable during and after. However, if you are not anxious, our veneers are securely placed on top of your natural teeth, so there is no need for sedation or anaesthesia during the procedure.

Do Veneers Last Forever?

For some people, this question may come with a bit of fear, but you should know that there’s no need to be afraid. As long as you care for your veneers properly, they can last 10 to 30 years. Good oral hygiene habits are imperative. All things considered, it’s important to brush and floss twice a day as well as make routine appointments with us to keep your teeth clean and beautiful.

 

How Long Do Veneers Take To Put On?

Applying a veneer takes around two hours but the time varies depending on what needs to be done and how long your teeth are. Our dentist will get rid of any decay, make a mould of your teeth to fit the veneers, and light-cure composite resin will bond them onto your teeth.

 

 

Can You Get Veneers With Crooked Teeth?

When looking into getting veneers, our dentist will examine how crooked your teeth are and the general state of them to determine if they can apply them to your teeth. If you have a lot of healthy tooth structures left and they are not brittle, they will use this as the material to hold your veneers.

 

 

Do You Need Straight Teeth for Veneers?

This can depend on how much of your teeth has been damaged. Our dentist will be able to determine if you are eligible for a cosmetic procedure. 

 

 

 

Can You Get Veneers With Missing Teeth?

If you are missing some teeth, you can get dental veneers. Not only do veneers mask gaps between teeth or cover missing teeth, but they are a perfect solution for concealing dental defects.
