If you have been looking for a way to restore your smile without spending a fortune on whitening, orthodontic care and other cosmetic procedures, then you have likely come across porcelain veneers at some point or another during your research.
These nifty cosmetic coverings, which also double up as preventive and restorative options, are thin, porcelain wafers that can be attached to the front or sometimes the back of your teeth using dental cement. They can makeover your smile minimal hassle and minimal discomfort.
When you come to see our team at DRMR, we will always be happy to discuss how successful veneers London would be in your clinical case. Our team will work with you to ensure that the aesthetics you are left with are just right for your face shape and age and match any natural surrounding teeth to create a uniform and natural look.
Of course, you are likely to have some questions about having veneers London, and in this article, our team at DRMR aims to answer the key questions that we have received over the years from our patients who want to have veneers fitted.
Does the fitting hurt?
In a word, no, the fitting of veneers London does not hurt. While our team will need to sand down the front of the tooth to remove some of the enamel and create a rough surface for the cement, this should not be uncomfortable.
If you feel any discomfort at any point during the fitting process, you need to alert our team, and we will stop to identify the cause.
How long will it take?
The fitting of porcelain veneers can take up to an hour, depending on how many are being used. But for the veneers to be created, our team will need to use either an intraoral scan or a dental mould, which will then be sent to a dental laboratory where the veneers will be created. This stage of the process can take several weeks, as the veneers are made using specialised equipment.
What should I do if one of my veneers comes loose?
It is highly unlikely that your veneers will come loose without trauma. However, sometimes this can happen, usually due to the cement not setting properly. If you feel that one of your veneers is wobbling or have a concern about one of them, please contact our team as soon as possible to book an assessment.
How long will they last?
With the correct aftercare (which is not too extensive), your porcelain veneers should easily last over 20 years, meaning they are a worthwhile and long-term investment in making over your smile. Please note that gum disease, smoking and drinking alcohol excessively can all cause veneers to come loose prematurely.
Are they expensive?
Many patients have concerns that the cost of porcelain veneers will be high. Luckily, our team can offer financing options to suitable patients to help them cover the cost of this treatment and break it down into affordable monthly repayments.
