A common cosmetic dental choice that offers natural-looking results relatively quickly is that of veneers London. Patients can have the smile they have always wanted with just a few simple steps. When looked after properly, veneers London can also last for a long time, making this smile-enhancing treatment plan an affordable one.
Before deciding on the cosmetic dentistry treatment plan to refresh a smile, it is important to have all need-to-know information available to ensure you make the best possible choice for yourself. This means carrying out in-depth research on the advantages and disadvantages of each option before investing in the right option for you.
At DRMR dental practice, we are big advocates of patient education and support patients who want to make informed choices regarding their dental health. This is why we welcome questions from patients about their treatment plans, so that we can provide them with valuable information to protect their investment in their smiles.
Seeing that veneers London represent one of our most in-demand cosmetic dental solutions, we thought to list a few questions about veneer treatment we believe patients should ask.
Questions to ask the dentist about veneers
The first question to put on the list regards patient candidacy for veneers. Like all other cosmetic dental treatments, patients need to fulfil a number of qualifying criteria to be considered suitable. Only a comprehensive oral examination to establish dental health can help our dentist ascertain how well the patient is suited for veneers.
Patients need to remember that for any cosmetic dental treatment to be successful dental health must be good. Many a time, cosmetic dental treatments fail because patients prioritise aesthetics before dental health and function. If there are any issues affecting the health of teeth or gums, these issues will need to be treated first before any aesthetic consideration.
The length of the treatment plan is another factor that is important to most of our busy patients who don’t have the time to schedule numerous appointments at the dentist. For patients for whom time is a factor, veneers can offer a faster solution, especially if the tooth imperfections involve closing gaps between teeth.
When it comes to any form of dental care, pain is a big issue no matter the age of the patient. Veneers, or laminates, are considered the least invasive of dental treatments. Depending on the patient’s oral situation, our dentist may need to prepare the receiving teeth first by shaving off a little layer of the enamel. Thereafter it is just to apply the dental bonding glue that will hold the veneers in place.
How to care for veneers is another need-to-know. Fortunately, for patients, the maintenance of veneers is not a complicated or a lengthy process. It simply involves a good oral hygiene routine at home, avoiding smoking and any foods or beverages known to cause staining.
Cosmetic dental treatments are always a good investment to fix tooth imperfections that create awkwardness when smiling. At our dental practice, our experienced dentist can help patients discover the best aesthetic solutions to give them the smile they deserve.
