Veneers London provide a wonderfully versatile cosmetic dental solution to fix a plethora of tooth imperfections. When placed over enamel, these wafer-thin dental shells conceal the aesthetic problem beneath them to create a fantastic-looking smile.
Our cosmetic dentists at DRMR dental practice rely on veneers to transform mouths ruined by discolouration and staining, fractured teeth, crooked teeth and minor gaps between teeth into insta-worthy smiles. There are a great many plus points to choosing veneers London that support its popularity with patients and dental practitioners alike.
Even though these dental shells are a go-to cosmetic dental solution for many, not every patient can benefit from them.
As a responsible dental practice, our dentists make sure that the treatment plan a patient chooses is right for them. One of the first boxes we like to tick is patient suitability. To establish this, we have to conduct an examination of the patient’s teeth and gums. In order to proceed with any cosmetic dental procedure, oral health must be in good condition. Without this first prerequisite, any cosmetic dental treatment will be doomed to fail.

Criteria patients must meet to qualify for veneers
The first consideration is that there must be an adequate tooth surface for veneers to be placed over it. Teeth must be healthy in order to ensure the success of veneers. Teeth that are decayed are not suitable at all and the patient will have to consider other appropriate dental care treatments.
If upon examining the condition of the patient’s teeth, our dentist finds symptoms of teeth grinding, this will need to be addressed first. Teeth grinding is known for resulting in chipped or cracked veneers which would mean further treatment and more expense.
Patients with severe dental discolouration or staining may well benefit from veneers. This makes for an ideal solution for patients who prefer a quicker long-term solution for a less-than bright smile. Considering alternative treatments to tackle staining issues, veneers are less invasive, easy to apply and offer minimal discomfort.
Veneers work to great effect in correcting minor cosmetic dental issues. These dental laminates are more suited to addressing minor gaps between teeth (not major ones) and teeth that are of irregular shape or size.
As veneers are versatile enough to improve various cosmetic defects, the treatment is of immense benefit to patients with more than one aesthetic flaw to correct. For example, a patient may have deep staining issues, irregular-shaped teeth and small spaces between teeth. Instead of relying on different treatment plans to fix each issue, patients can target all these dental sins with just the treatment of veneers. In this way, they prove to be incredibly cost-effective, not to mention requiring fewer trips to the dentist than would otherwise be necessary to receive multiple treatments.
There is no getting around the fact that you need a professional consultation with an experienced dentist to determine your suitability for veneers. Find a suitable time and date for a consultation by giving our reception desk team a call.
