Our teeth go through so much in order to keep us well fed and understood. These vital tools of eating and communication are in action hundreds of times a day, biting, chewing, forming words and smiling. It’s no wonder that they can sometimes look a bit worse for wear. Bits chip off, sometimes cracks appear, edges get worn, weird colour changes take place. And sometimes, they just don’t fit together all that well. Maybe they are too small for your mouth, or one or two are a bit twisted or don’t line up properly in some other way.
All of these problems can be easily solved with the use of veneers in Liverpool. Veneers are modern dentistry’s fantastic way of making teeth look like new again, and here at Liverpool Smile Studio, our patients love how they transform their smiles.
Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that are fitted over the top of your teeth. They are quick and easy to fit, taking just two appointments. One to do the preparation and one to fit the veneers. Here’s how veneers in Liverpool work:
Getting ready
We examine your teeth to make sure that veneers are the best solution for your problems. If they are, then we take impressions of the teeth and do a colour match. This information goes off to a dental laboratory where the Liverpool veneers are handcrafted. This takes a couple of weeks.
Fitting
We need to make sure that your veneers lie flush with your own teeth, and also that the dental adhesive has a good surface to bond to. For those reasons, we remove a very thin layer of enamel from the teeth that are being veneered. We then fit the veneers.
Long-lasting
Veneers are highly durable and you can expect them to last for at least 10 years as long as you take good care of them and don’t go doing crazy things like using your teeth to remove bottle tops.
Whitening
Veneers can’t be whitened, so if you want whitening, you need to get it done first and then have the veneers matched to your newly whitened teeth.
