Enhance your smile with dental veneers in Braintree

Porcelain dental veneers are a beautiful way to correct stained, chipped, or crooked teeth.

Dental veneers at a glance

By placing glass-like ceramic porcelain on the surface of your teeth, we can provide you with a bright, straight, and natural looking smile. Dental flaws that have been a source of embarrassment for years can be treated with porcelain veneers in as little as one or two appointments. The thin, tooth coloured porcelain shells are custom-made to bond to the front surface of your teeth.

Porcelain veneers can be used to amend any of the following oral conditions:

  • Conceal discolouration or stains on the affected tooth

  • Close gaps

  • Cover chips

  • Conceal wear and tear

  • Change colour and/or of teeth

  • An alternative to orthodontic treatment with Instant Ortho

  • To give your tooth a ‘makeover’

Patient story: 

Karen

Karen came to us with worries of teeth alignment, worn edges and a missing tooth.

Her smile knocked her confidence, and she was constantly conscious about her appearance.

After a consultation, Dr Anup Ladva advised the best treatment would be composite veneers as this would be a less destructive option for the teeth and would give Karen the natural smile that she desired.

Karen said that she felt very comfortable and happy during her treatment, and she was well informed throughout the process. Karen stated that she has received many compliments about how natural her smile looks and how much it has boosted her confidence.

Compliments and confidence what more could you want about your smile!

Transform your teeth with dental veneers

Teeth that are strong can be cosmetically restored by the application of veneers. Veneers are a conservative alternative to crowns, and are a stronger, longer lasting alternative to bonding. Individually crafted and fixed on top of each tooth to give a beautiful new smile, once placed, the veneers are very strong and will resist most of the forces placed upon them by a normal diet. 

Your Essex dentist will work with you to design your new smile, ensuring that it fits harmoniously with your facial structure, for natural-looking results.

Answers to commonly asked questions about dental veneers

What is a dental veneer?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

A dental veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail. Sometimes a natural colour ‘composite’ material is used instead of porcelain.

What Are The Advantages Of Veneers?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little preparation of the tooth is needed.

When would I need a dental veneer?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

Veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally. A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again.

The porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth, with a thicker section replacing the broken part. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.

Are there any alternative treatments to dental veneers?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

A natural-coloured filling material can be used for minor repairs to front teeth. This is excellent where the tooth supports the filling, but may not work so well for broken tooth corners. There will always be a join between the tooth and the filling material.

Crowns are used for teeth that need to be strengthened – either because they have broken, have been weakened by a very large filling, or have had root canal treatment.

How long will a dental veneer last?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

Dental veneers should last for many years, but they can chip or break, just as with your own teeth. Your dentist will tell you how long each individual veneer should last. Small chips can be repaired, or a new veneer fitted if necessary.

How are teeth prepared for a dental veneer to be fitted?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

Some of the shiny outer enamel surface of the tooth may be removed, to make sure that the veneer can be bonded permanently in place later. The amount of enamel removed is tiny and will be the same as the thickness of the veneer to be fitted, so that the tooth stays the same size.

A local anaesthetic may be used to make sure there is no discomfort, but often this is not necessary. Once the tooth has been prepared, your dentist will take an ‘impression’. This will be given to the dental technician, along with any other information needed to make the veneer. The colour of the surrounding teeth is matched on a shade guide to ensure the dental veneer will look entirely natural.

How long does the treatment take?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

A dental veneer takes at least two visits to your Essex practice; the first to prepare the tooth and to match the shade, and the second to fit it. Before bonding it in place, your dentist will show you the veneer on your tooth to make sure you are happy with it. Bonding a veneer in place is done with a special adhesive, which holds it firmly on the tooth.

Will I need a temporary veneer between visits?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

As the preparation of the tooth is so slight, you will probably not need a temporary veneer. The tooth will look very much the same after preparation, but will feel slightly less smooth.

What happens after my dental veneer is fitted?

Arrow Down | Bow Lane Dental Group in London

Only minor adjustments can be made to the veneer after it is fitted. It is usually best to wait a little while to get used to it before any changes are made. Your dentist may want to check and polish it a week or so after it is fitted, and to make sure that you are happy with it.
