Generally, our teeth serve us well. They allow us to eat, talk, and smile. However, like everything else, they are not perfect. Teeth are pretty durable, but they are still vulnerable to wear, whether that’s becoming discoloured, chipped, or generally worn down. There can also be the odd tooth that is slightly gapped, misaligned, or oddly shaped.
Feel confident again
It is easy to forget how important the look of our teeth is to us, as it usually something we don’t think twice about, until something happens that changes them.
We can go from not thinking twice about our teeth, to feeling self-conscious about them for the majority of the day, especially during social events.
As teeth can significantly affect the appearance of someone’s smile, veneers in Liverpool may be a great solution for those who are self-conscious about their smile.
What are veneers?
Veneers are a thin covering made of very thin sheets of porcelain. Each veneer is bonded onto the individual teeth that are visible when you smile. They are used purely to improve the appearance of the teeth, and therefore do not restore the teeth and shouldn’t always be used on teeth that are especially weak. The dentist will be able to assess if veneers are suitable for certain cases.
Am I a suitable candidate for veneers in Liverpool?
If you are unhappy with the size, shape, colour or alignment of your teeth, veneers may be the option for you.
Generally, so long as you look after your teeth and are in good general oral health, you are likely to be suited to treatment. If you have any signs of gum disease or tooth decay, this’ll need to be treated before going ahead with veneers.
How do veneers in Liverpool work?
Veneers involve taking a small amount of enamel from the surface of the tooth. Once the veneers are ready, the dentist will check that they fit like they should, before bonding them onto the teeth one by one.
Initially, they may feel strange, however they will soon feel natural. If you take good care of them, flossing regularly and attending check-ups, they can last upwards of 25 years.
