Having beautiful teeth is becoming more and more mainstream and therefore more important. We are hardwired to notice people’s smiles as they have been an indicator of warmth and friendliness since we first learnt how to use them. So, if your teeth are not doing you justice, make this the year to find out if veneers in Liverpool could improve your smile.
If you want veneers in Liverpool, then come to us at Liverpool Smile Studio, where we know that cosmetic dentistry is as much a skill and an art as a dental treatment. We will make sure that your veneers fit into your mouth and your face so that no one will know that this is not the smile you were born with.
What are veneers
Veneers are tiny sheaths of highly durable porcelain that are cemented onto the fronts of your teeth to cover up various imperfections.
They are particularly good for covering up:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Gaps
- Stains
- Misalignments
- Worn edges.
The veneer process
You come into us for an initial appointment and if we think veneers can help you, we will start by taking an impression of your teeth. Then we talk about colour with you. We can either colour match the veneers to your natural teeth, or, if you want to also whiten your teeth, we can choose a lighter colour to go with. It’s important to get your natural teeth whitened first and then match the veneers to them afterwards. This is because porcelain does not respond to whitening.
Once you are happy with the colour, we send the information off to a dental technician who is highly skilled in making veneers. What they send back will blend in seamlessly with your mouth.
The next step is to remove a very thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth. This ensures that your veneers do not stick out beyond the line of your natural teeth. It also provides a rough surface for the veneers to bond to.
We cement on the veneers and you are good to go. If you take care of them, Liverpool veneers can last for more than 10 years.
