Porcelain dental veneers London first made their appearance in 1983 having been used for the first time in the United States in1928. The procedure is now a well established cosmetic dental treatment for a variety of dental conditions. Teeth that have become permanently stained or have chips and cracks can be relatively easily restored. Certain misalignment conditions and gaps between your teeth can also be made to look straight and even. Teeth that have suffered from continual grinding over the years can also benefit from this form of treatment.

Is this the right treatment for you?
Before performing any procedure, dental or any other offered at DRMR, we always conduct a very thorough examination. Cosmetic dentistry is a very intimate procedure and we want to get to know you and understand your motivation and expectations, especially when cosmetic dentistry is involved. We need to assess the cause of any stains to your teeth because the kind of dental stain we find may indicate an underlying medical condition. Dental stains can indicate a calcium deficiency, or metabolic, coeliac or liver disease. We need to be sure that you are not suffering from any of these before we can proceed. If you are, we will advise you to contact your general practitioner.
Expertise reduces the dental intrusiveness
Placing porcelain dental veneers requires a certain amount of the enamel to be removed from the front of your teeth. The amount that needs to be removed is equal to the thickness of the porcelain veneer. Over the many years that she has been performing this procedure Dr Rhode and her ceramist have perfected the art of producing veneers so wafer thin that they are only 0.3mm thick. The benefit of this to you is that the amount of your enamel that is required to be removed is only that amount of 0.3mm.
