What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain Veneers are the most common type of dental veneers that are custom-made pieces of tough, tooth coloured porcelain made in a dental laboratory. They are bonded to the front surface of the tooth to create an attractive, seamless appearance.

Veneers also help rectify many dental defects such as chipped, crooked, discoloured, gapped, or misaligned teeth. The procedure helps in improving the appearance in a short time along with giving strength to your teeth that mirror natural tooth enamel. Veneers are very robust, durable, and long-lasting are considered an ideal solution to rectify many dental issues also serve as an alternative to dental crowns or teeth whitening for people whose stained teeth do not react well to actual teeth whitening or bleaching procedures.

The entire process is pain-free and we ensure to make your entire experience relaxed and comfortable. You normally require two dental visits to complete the cosmetic dental procedure and we offer a local anesthetic if required. The appointment takes around 90 minutes and you will be able to return to your daily activities as normal right away.

Treatment Process for Veneers in London :

At NW1 Dental Care, we use the advanced digital smile design system which is the latest cutting-edge dental technology through which you have the power to choose your dream smile and view the results before we even start the treatment!

1. Smile Consultation: Planning & Capture your digital smile

Your dentist will listen to you carefully and find out about your desires for your smile, what you don’t like about your smile and what type of smile is required.

We will scan your teeth with an intraoral scanner, and take photos and videos of your teeth and face. We use a computer-aided smile design to plan the smile and to fine-tune the required tooth shapes and colour to your desire.

2.Smile Design Analysis: 3D Preview

Using a computer-aided design the lab prepares a 3d version of your smile. The dentist uses this 3D view to plan your treatment and make necessary tweaks in the design of the veneers i.e shape, size of teeth, length, etc. You are then able to view how your porcelain veneers would look at the end of the treatment.

3. Smile trial: test drive your smile

The porcelain veneers are provided as per the plan over two visits. At the first appointment, the teeth are prepared to receive veneers by trimming back a thin layer of enamel from the front surface and biting as required to make space for the veneer. Based on the 3D model the lab would have prepared a try in-stent and using a temporary material the designed veneers are tried in your mouth so you can see or ‘test drive’ your new smile before going ahead and making the final veneers. Any last changes or fine adjustments can be made to the temporaries and reproduced in the final veneers.

4. Fit Appointment: Final reveal

This is the second and final veneer appointment where the final veneers are fitted. The final veneers are bonded to your teeth by using very strong cement which blends in with the shade chosen for the veneer. Final checks are carried out to make sure the veneers do not prematurely contact any of the other teeth surfaces. Videos and photos are taken of your new smile and instructions are provided on how to take care of your new pearly whites!

FAQs

With the proper care, most dentists estimate that porcelain veneers can last anywhere between 10 and 20 years. That said, they can fail early due to trauma or underlying tooth decay, so routine maintenance is essential. Get regular check-ups, brush softly with a non-abrasive toothpaste, and floss daily. Avoid using your teeth as a tool (no opening packages), which can cause veneers to fracture or chip and avoid biting directly into apples. Make sure your dental hygienist knows you have veneers so they’ll use the proper polish technique during cleaning.

At NW1 Dental care our dentist are highly experience and have advanced skilled who have treated numerous patient over the years. We use the latest technology so only a mild preparation is required just to place the veneer and we don’t have to cut away a lot of Patients teeth. Sometimes we don’t have to shave the teeth at all.

In most cases 4-10 veneers are required. Normally you get veneers on the number of teeth you show when you smile which generally range from 6 to 10 teeth.

However, in some cases getting just 1 to 4 teeth could also make a significant difference.

You can discuss with your dentist the exact type of smile you envisaged for yourself. If you want to go for natural look then the veneers can be made to match up with your remaining teeth. A mockup on a model can also be made up to see how they will look.

For colors we will show you the shades tabs and check with your current smile to know which one suits you the most

You do not have to get the other teeth whitened, as they just might match with the veneers. However, if you have discoloured teeth, then you can decide to have tooth whitening if you would like, but it’s not a requirement.

Because some tooth structure and enamel are removed prior to placing veneers, this is considered an irreversible treatment. Veneers may be replaced, but removing them for good will leave your teeth permanently scarred, at high risk for damage, and unhealthy looking.

Individual results vary, but the goal is for the porcelain veneers to look and feel like a person’s own teeth, only better. To avoid the too-straight, too-white appearance that many associate with obvious veneers, intentional imperfections like slight rotation, subtle discoloration, and grooves can be made to imitate natural flaws.

A thin layer, about 0.5 millimeter, is removed. The layer of tooth structure needs to be removed in order to make room for the porcelain. Also, grooves are made across the tooth in order to properly secure the veneer on the tooth. This way the veneers wont fall off and would have the proper contour without them being too bulky or have unnatural appearance.

With veneers they can take up to four weeks to be made. During that time you can have temporary veneers. The temporary crowns are one colour (white), look natural, and yes, you can eat as normal as before having the temporary veneers. However, we normally suggest to our patients not to take big bites into steaks or big sandwiches, because they are not so securely placed on the teeth, as we would need to remove them in order to place the permanent ones on the teeth. They sometimes last longer than 2 weeks, maybe for a few months, but are not designed to last very long. Also, you do not have to worry about it looking very white and fake, as this won’t be the case. Most of our patients go for a lighter colour veneers when the return to have the permanent ones put in place.

Testimonials

After much research, I chose NW1 Dental Care for Lumineers (and SO GLAD I did!!!) As someone with multiple jobs and a very busy schedule, I messaged them over whatapp through their website and was immediately responded to by one of the team members! I asked a few questions and was booked in for an appointment with the dentist two days later. When I arrived, the team was very welcoming and friendly, and met the dentist in no time. I asked her all the questions i had in mind before going ahead and you could see from how they listen and responded that they cared. The entire treatment was fab, Dr. Anima nailed what I wanted! I am a VERY picky person and I couldn’t be more ecstatic with the results!! Really happy now and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend their services! I can’t stop smiling!!

Dr Anima Bodane is an absolute magician, my front teeth had terrible staining and were really crooked, it really affected my confidence and I rarely smiled as a result of this. Dr Bodane reasurred me we could improve the appearance of my teeth, she cleaned, whitened and put four veneers on, i have not stopped smiling since. Everyone I know has commented on how fantastic my teeth look now. From start to finish i felt looked after, the staff are so helpful and polite and I came away with a Hollywood smile, I honestly cannot rave about NW1dental care enough, all I have to say is thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, you have absolutely changed my life.

Little Kelly Ahlee

I came to NW1 dental care initially just for a consultation regarding veneers. After speaking with Dr. Bodane, I decided to go ahead with lumineers and now, six month later, I can certainly say, it’s one of the best decision I have ever made. Dr. Bodane was really empathetic and went the extra mile to make sure my lumineers were exactly as I had explained I would like them to look. I used to hate my teeth and actually got to a point of being scared to laugh or to even smile properly. Having lumineers has massively changed my life, in the best way possible. Dr. Bodane makes you feel at ease, is trustworthy and overall amazing at what she does. All of the staff in fact are lovely and friendly. I 100% recommend them.
