Dental Veneers at Family Dental Practice Brighton-Le-Sands
Transform Your Smile with Dental Veneers
Veneers are custom-made tooth-coloured shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are primarily used to improve the appearance of teeth by addressing dental imperfections such as stains, chips, misshapen teeth, or gaps. Veneers can be crafted from porcelain or composite resin, each offering a solution with its own advantages.
Types of Veneers Offered at Our Dental Clinic
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin yet durable and match the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. They are resistant to stains and can last for many years with proper care.
Composite Resin Veneers
Composite resin veneers are sculpted on your teeth and offer a quicker and cost-effective veneer solution. While they are less durable than porcelain veneers, they are easier to repair and require less tooth enamel removal during application.
Advantages of Veneers
Aesthetic Enhancement
Veneers dramatically improve your smile by covering visible imperfections.
Durability
Porcelain veneers are robust and long-lasting.
Stain Resistance
Porcelain veneers resist stains better than natural teeth, maintaining their brightness.
Minimal Tooth Alteration
Veneers require a small amount of enamel removal and are less invasive compared to other dental restorations.
The Process of Getting Veneers
Consultation and Planning
Discuss your cosmetic goals with your dentist, who will examine your teeth to ensure veneers are suitable for you.
Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel is removed from the front of your teeth to accommodate the veneer.
Impression Taking
Impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted.
Bonding
Once your veneers are ready, they are permanently bonded to your teeth.
Care for Your Veneers
- Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily.
- Avoid biting on hard objects like ice or pens and foods that could crack your veneers.
- Wear a protective guard if you grind your teeth at night.
- Regular dental check-ups to maintain veneer condition and overall oral health.
