OVERVIEW
Porcelain veneers are used to mask the underlying tooth by improving its shape, colour and sometimes position. Made by highly-skilled technicians, when placed by our experts here at Lux Dental, their finished appearance is so good that it’s hard to tell the difference between the veneers and natural teeth.
Dental veneers are often made from porcelain in a laboratory, but can also be made from composite and placed directly at the chairside in a single visit. This is more commonly referred to as composite bonding.
Porcelain veneers can be the best option for patients if they have:
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Stage 1 - Consultation
Stage 2 - TreatmentStage 1 - ConsultationDuring your consultation, your dentist will assess your suitability for porcelain veneers and talk through any questions you may have.
Stage 2 - TreatmentThis treatment requires a minimum of 2 appointments to be completed. The tooth is usually numbed first using local anaesthetic. The dentist will then prepare the tooth on the first appointment and will take impressions (moulds) of your teeth to send to the laboratory. The veneers done at Lux Dental are minimal prep veneers. We aim to conserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible so very little preparation is carried out.
The technician at the lab will use the impressions to make a high quality and extremely aesthetic porcelain veneer, unique to each patient, which will fit perfectly over your tooth. The veneer will be made to match the shade of your teeth. Patients have often had teeth whitening prior to having veneers fitted .
On your second appointment, the dentist will try the veneer in and ensure it matches with your adjacent teeth, looks natural and is everything you were expecting from it. We will also ensure it is comfortable in your bite.
QUESTIONS ABOUT
Dental veneers usually last around 10-15 years, but they must be looked after correctly. We recommend regular visits to the hygienist and regular check-up appointments with the dentist. We advise all patients to brush their teeth twice a day and ensure they are regularly flossing.
Dental veneers are often made from porcelain in a laboratory, but can also be made from composite.
