When it comes to overnight results, nothing is as substantial and life-changing in cosmetic dentistry as a new set of veneers Liverpool. So, whether you have a big event like a wedding coming up or you are ready to make a major lifestyle change, let’s find out more about how they could help you.
The process
Veneers Liverpool provided at our practice are thin wafers of material that are placed on the front surfaces of the teeth to improve their look. To get the best bond between the veneers Liverpool and the natural enamel, etching is performed by our dentist on both the tooth and the inside of the laminate, giving a textured foundation for adhesives.
The adhesives used to hold laminates in place do not set immediately, giving an opportunity for our dentist to alter their final position. Sometimes they may place them and take them off multiple times in order to reshape them. They are deliberately produced oversized, allowing our team to file them for fitting, to give the best finish to the procedure. They can also be carved and shaped with the dental drill, sometimes to produce a fine lustre or create a more natural look. This is vital when the laminate is expected to match the surrounding teeth as part of a restoration.
Dental laminates designed to add structural strength to teeth are dependent on healthy teeth and good oral hygiene. If well maintained, they can easily last 10 years or more.
Porcelain, polymer composites or insitu-veneering
Porcelain only laminates are still available. They have a softer matt look to their surface, closer to eggshell like texture than modern polymer composites. If your goal is a dazzling white smile, then they can be the best option.
Polymer composite laminates have become the standard, available in a wide range of shades and tones, with even their translucency being matched to surrounding teeth. They can be truly seamless. They are also significantly harder wearing and tougher than pure porcelain, making them an even better option for those with active lifestyles.
Will treatment hurt?
We aim to carry out as little removal of the healthy tooth as possible to instal laminates. The amount of this has been minimised over time with better equipment and tools, simple preparation is required and there is normally no need to have more than a local anaesthetic. The entire procedure often produces only minimal discomfort. If you suffer from dental anxiety, there are further options like the use of calmatives and even dental sedation.
Costs and finances
We understand that the costs of dental care can cause unfortunate spikes in personal finances, but we can offer interest-free payments. You can spread the cost of your care over many months, turning it into manageable repayments, rather than one larger amount.
We offer repayment plans on our more costly procedures. These are subject to credit checks and your status. Most applications are immediately approved and can be carried out online if you would prefer to check your status before entering the clinic.
