If you have chipped, cracked, gapped or stained teeth, you may be interested in finding a treatment that can solve all of these issues in one go. With a little research from a friendly search engine, you may have also learned a little about veneers London. You may also be aware that many dental practices offer veneers, so the question remains: how do you choose the right dentist to get treatment from? At DRMR, we have a world-renowned dentist in the field of cosmetic dentistry, Dr Manrina Rhode. Dr Rhode has treated patients with over 10,000 porcelain veneers, and she trains dentists from across the world in the techniques that she uses for porcelain veneers. She lectures internationally on her work, and because of her work with veneers, she is an opinion leader with Ivoclar Vivadent.
Why should I have porcelain veneers?
You may have heard that there are two types of veneers London: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. While composite veneers use composite resin to repair cracks or chips, close gaps between teeth and improve the appearance of the colour, they are only used for minor issues and on smaller numbers of affected teeth.
Porcelain veneers, however, are more hardwearing and typically last longer than composite veneers with a lifespan of about 15 years as opposed to 3 to 12 years, respectively. Porcelain veneers are also a great option for smile makeovers. We make our porcelain veneers 0.3mm in thickness, and these are applied to the fronts of the teeth, allowing for a natural look and feel once they have been fitted. Dr Rhode has worked with a master ceramist for 17 years, and we believe this partnership has been a huge success for our patients.
How to get veneers
If you are interested in finding out whether or not veneers London would be the right treatment option for you, the first thing you will need to do is to book an initial consultation to discuss your concerns about your smile. Our dentist will be able to examine your mouth thoroughly and answer any questions you may have about the treatment options that are presented to you. If veneers are recommended as a treatment option, you will need to ensure that you are satisfied with all of the information you are provided with in order to proceed. If you are satisfied with the treatment plan, you will need to visit us 5 times over 5 weeks to have your porcelain veneers fitted.
During the first appointment, we will discuss your smile design. Dr Rhode will then prepare your teeth for the permanent veneers during the second appointment. Your new smile will be made out of plastic as well. For the third appointment, there will be a review of the smile design, and any adjustments will be made during this time before the fourth appointment where you will receive your new porcelain veneers. For the final appointment, Dr Rhode will conduct a final review of your smile, guaranteeing your smile, taking photos and providing you with the details you will need to take care of your veneers (don’t worry, it isn’t difficult either!).
