Veneers

Beautifully hand-crafted porcelain veneers in Sutton, Surrey mimic nature, which allows us to transform your smile into something sensational

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are adhered to the front surfaces of your teeth to improve the appearance of your smile. They can be used to alter the shape, size, colour and arrangement of teeth. For example, veneers can be a terrific solution for people who have gapped teeth.

We design veneers in our Sutton, Surrey office to be made from high-quality porcelain material because this achieves the most natural appearance. Porcelain reflects light beautifully and also appears slightly see-through, or transparent, just like your natural teeth.

How do they work?

If the teeth are well aligned, we can often just bond the veneers onto your teeth and they will work extremely well. However, if the teeth are twisted or not in alignment, we may need to prepare the teeth to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. We always aim to remove as little tooth structure as possible because this has lots of benefits, including:

Conserve natural tooth structure
No sensitivity
No pain
Long lasting results

What are veneers made from?

Our veneers are made from the most beautiful ceramic, which is built up in layers to mimic natural teeth. We use emax porcelain, which achieves a great blend between aesthetics and strength

What does the process involve?

APPOINTMENT 1 - Planning

To achieve the results you want, it takes good teamwork.

During your first appointment for veneers, we discuss what you like and dislike about your smile as it is. We may view images together to identify characteristics that you would like to see in your new smile, like more rounded teeth or more even proportions. A digital intra-oral scan will then be taken of your teeth, along with photographs.

These will be sent to the dental lab along with the detailed specifications we have come up with together, including colour and other characteristics. A master ceramist will work from our 3D scanned model and specs to make a mock-up that matches your complexion and facial contouring. This is the groundwork for building your perfect smile

APPOINTMENT 3 - Review

Your third visit will be scheduled about two weeks after we have applied temporary veneers. During this appointment, we can discuss any changes that you would like to make to your final restorations. We want to make sure you are completely happy with the outcome of your treatment! Once you have confirmed satisfaction with the details of your new smile, we will take the last scan and send it to the lab, where it will be used along with the scan of your prepared teeth to create lifelike veneers.

APPOINTMENT 2 – Trial smile

During your second appointment, we will focus on preparing your tooth or teeth for temporary veneers. This may involve reducing the enamel a small amount so the veneers will lie flush against the gums. If we can, we will place veneers without modifying the structure of your teeth. However, it is important to reduce bulk when necessary, so your veneers do not feel uncomfortable or look fake. A second scan will be taken after preparation has been done. We then fill the space we created with temporary material customized to blend in with surrounding teeth. We use information from the planning to create a great smile. Once the veneers have been fitted, we touch them up to make them even better.

This step allows you to try on your new smile for several days before we order your final veneers. If there are any changes you would like to see, we book another appointment to adjust them in the future and contour them until you are 100percent happy.

APPOINTMENT 4 - Fit

Your final veneers should be ready in about a week. At this time, you will come back to the office for placement. Before we cement veneers onto your teeth, we perform a thorough evaluation of fit, shape and colour to ensure your satisfaction. If you are not happy with any particular detail of your veneers, changes can be made. Once you have the look you want, we will cement your restorations into place.

We will never fit any work we think is not ideal, and if you are unhappy, we always send the veneers back until they’re right.

FOLLOW UP

Well-fitting dental veneers that are taken care of can last up to ten years and even beyond. During your routine visits, we will check the appearance of your veneers as well as your bite.
