When you think about what we put our teeth through, it’s no wonder that over the years, even if they were perfect to start with, which is unlikely, they can end up chipped and cracked or stained. Often, they aren’t perfect to start with, maybe they’re a bit gappy in places, or one or two don’t quite line up with the rest. That’s when veneers in Liverpool can come to the rescue.
Veneers do a wonderful cover up job when it comes to those little imperfections that can get you all self-conscious about your smile. They are tiny sheaths of dental porcelain, a material that is very strong and durable, and can be shaped and coloured to blend in with your own teeth so that no one will even notice it’s not natural teeth they are looking at.
When you come to Liverpool Smile Studio for veneers in Liverpool, we will take our time to match their colour to your own. If you want to get your teeth whitened at some point, we recommend you do this before having veneers fitted, as dental porcelain cannot be bleached and it would mean having a whole new set of veneers.
The veneers are made by skilled dental technicians, whose job it is to make replacement teeth to suit every age. If you are older, then the veneers can be made to recreate the look of the teeth of an older person, perhaps echoing that slightly yellower look of thinning enamel that lets the dentine below show through.
If you are younger, you will probably wish to go for a whiter look. Whatever you choose, we fit the veneers by first removing a very thin layer of your tooth enamel. This gives us a rough surface to bond the veneers to, and also allows us to make sure they are lying flush with your natural teeth. Then we cement the veneers in place.
If you look after your veneers and don’t do crazy things like use them to get metal caps off beer bottles, there’s no reason why your veneers in Liverpool shouldn’t last you at least 10 years.
