Dental Veneers

Veneers Wdp

Dental veneers are thin porcelain or highly polished composite layers, which covers permanently the front surface of your teeth. Generally veneers require minimal preparation of the natural tooth surface and therefore considered more conservative to crowns.

Dental veneers can be used in conjunction with other dental treatments, such as orthodontics, full smile makeover or the replacement of old fillings to enhance a whiter and healthier smile.

HOW IT WORKS

Following a thorough assessment, which often consists of full set of clinical photographs, study model impressions and X-rays to assess the health of your teeth, you will return for the procedure or preparing your teeth for the thin ceramic veneers.

Discoloured, cracked and chipped teeth could benefit from a veneer, as a permanent treatment. A thin layer of the tooth surface is removed with a high speed drill and precise impressions will be taken and sent to the lab.

Temporary veneers will be placed on your teeth for a short term, while the permanent ones are being made by the dental lab.

Once the veneer returns from the lab, your teeth will be dried and the veneer  will be fitted permanently to protect the tooth underneath.

This is a painless and safe method to improve the shape of damaged teeth, while still keeping most of the natural tooth structure.

How Can I Get Veneers?

If you’re interested in porcelain veneers and live in Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, or West Sussex, contact Time Dental for a consultation to discuss your options. We serve patients in Farnham and surrounding areas like Fleet, Alton, Farnborough, and Winchester.

How Do I Look After My Veneers?

What Happens to Teeth Under Veneers?

Fitting porcelain veneers often requires removing some of your natural tooth enamel, making this an irreversible treatment designed to be permanent.

How Long Do Veneers Last?

With proper care, veneers can last up to 15 years before needing replacement.

Are Veneers Painful?

The process of getting veneers and the veneers themselves should not be painful. Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort during preparation and fitting. Most patients experience no pain, though you may feel some sensitivity for a few days after the veneers are fitted.

Can Veneers Break?

While veneers are durable, they need to be treated with care. Avoid biting your fingernails, chewing on pen tops, or using your teeth to open things. Also, avoid very hard foods that could damage the veneer.
