Cosmetic dental treatments are more commonly sought after than ever before, thanks to the range of treatments and procedures that are available for improving the appearance of teeth. If you are unhappy with the aesthetics of your smile then you need to book an appointment with Dr Manrina Rhode for a customised smile makeover. Dr Manrina Rhode is one of the top cosmetic dental surgeons in the country and last year she was awarded the Dental Awards ‘Dentist of the Year 2022’. She can use cosmetic dental treatments to transform your face completely. Cosmetic dental treatments can whiten, brighten, straighten and improve the symmetry of your teeth to create a beautiful new smile for you.
Are veneers are suitable for you?
One of Dr Manrina Rhode’s most popular methods to improve dental aesthetics is using veneers London. Veneers London are thin custom-made porcelain shells which cover the front surface of the tooth to improve the colour, shape or position of that tooth and improve the overall appearance of your smile. To begin with Dr Rhode will carry out a smile assessment at our practice and make sure that veneers London are a suitable choice of cosmetic dental treatment for you. It is important that your teeth are healthy and free of decay or disease. If necessary you may need to undergo restorative dental treatment before you can improve the appearance of your smile.
How do veneers work?
Once you are ready for veneers your tooth will need to be prepared. This involves removing a small amount of enamel which is necessary for the veneers to fit properly to achieve a neatly aligned natural-looking smile. For some patients preparation may not be necessary whilst other patients may require a few millimetres of enamel to be removed. Next we will take an impression of your teeth to first create a mockup of your veneers. Once the temporary veneers are ready you will be asked to book an appointment to trial your new smile. We will assess the appearance and the function of your new smile and make sure that you are happy with the look and feel of the veneers and if so we will place an order for your porcelain veneers.
At the next appointment you will have your veneers fitted. This is a minimally invasive procedure and as your teeth will already be prepared it will begin by cleaning your teeth to prepare for the fitting and fixing the veneers to your teeth to check if they fit. Next a small amount of cement is applied to the surface of your teeth or to the veneer and the veneer is fixed onto the surface of the tooth. A beam of UV light is shone over the veneers to harden the cement so that the veneer is secure. This should be a pain-free procedure and once completed your veneers should last between 10 and 20 years. It is important that you maintain excellent dental hygiene to prevent the development of cavities and tooth decay and it is also important that you visit us on a regular basis to make sure that your teeth remain clean and healthy, but also to prolong the life of your veneers.
