A veneer is an ultra thin layer, bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Veneers can be used to correct broken, twisted or crowded teeth by changing their shape and position. They can be made as thin as a contact lens so minimal preparation of the teeth is needed. Veneers can either be made from porcelain, or composite.
Porcelain veneers are made over two visits. At the first appointment, the teeth are prepared and an impression is then taken. Temporary veneers can be fitted if needed at this stage. A dental technician then constructs the veneers and at the second appointment the veneers are fitted.
Composite free hand veneers are completed in one visit. The teeth are prepared and the veneers are then sculpted directly onto the teeth free hand.
After examining your teeth and discussing your individual needs, we will advise you which method is most suitable.
To achieve truly natural looking porcelain veneers is a highly artistic process requiring an extremely talented technician. At ocean dental we only work with the most highly skilled technicians in Cornwall to ensure you achieve natural beautiful teeth.
This is one of the areas of dentistry where cost can make a huge difference to the result. The more time a dentist and technician has to carefully plan and produce them, the more natural the result.
Remember, no one should be able to tell that you have veneers!
