Cosmetic dental treatment is a great way of transforming the appearance of your smile and bringing positivity into your life. You can find out about cosmetic dental treatment as soon as you have all your adult teeth, although it is not recommended for patients under 18 years old. The shape of your face and jaw continue to change which is why you should wait until you are an adult before undergoing cosmetic dental treatment.
You will be pleased to know that there are many different options available to meet your unique cosmetic needs. If you have healthy teeth and gums but the appearance of your teeth are affecting your smile, then you can speak to us at DRMR and find out about veneers London.
Veneers London are an elective, cosmetic dental procedure that helps transform the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. Veneers London can be used for yellow, stained teeth, crooked and wonky teeth, chipped, or cracked and broken teeth. Veneers London are designed to improve the colour, shape, and size of your teeth. They are thin, porcelain shells that are attached directly to the front surface of your teeth so that they disguise any imperfections that are affecting your smile. They can help create a broader, even smile that will change your overall appearance.
Maintaining your original teeth
Veneers are a popular choice because they are a conservative approach to transforming your smile in comparison to other treatments and procedures. For example, if you want veneers, then we will remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surface of your teeth, whereas if you need a crown to restore your tooth, then you need to remove most of the tooth structure so that the crown can fit over your original tooth. This means that veneers preserve and protect your original teeth whilst improving the appearance of your smile. They strengthen teeth that have been weakened by chips and cracks and prevent further damage.
How do veneers work?
As mentioned, the tooth needs to be prepared first. This is to make room for your veneers so that they do not appear bulky or fake. They are then bonded onto the front surface of your teeth and hardened using a UV light creating a brand-new smile. Minimal preparation and advances in dental technology means that there is minimal risk involved with excellent aesthetic results. Once in place veneers can last between 15 and 20 years, however, they do require careful maintenance. You need to make sure that you brush your teeth effectively, floss between your teeth, visit the dentist on a regular basis to help maintain your veneers, and also maintain healthy teeth and gums underneath the veneers. Your natural teeth are still susceptible to cavities and tooth decay which means your dental hygiene routine needs to be excellent at all times. If the natural tooth becomes affected the veneer will be affected too. After approximately 15 years, you may find that the margin around the tooth begins to degrade, and we will let you know when it is time to replace your veneers. The replacement process itself is simple and conservative again allowing you to maintain the integrity of your natural teeth.
