Here at Liverpool Smile Studio, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry treatments. We find that more and more of our patients want to give cosmetic work a go and make the most of their smile.
Treatments range from teeth whitening to gum shaping, from white fillings to smile makeovers. We get a lot of enquiries about teeth whitening and it is a great treatment for many people. However, it’s good to be aware that not every stain can be removed with whitening gel.
There are different reasons why teeth become stained. These include:
- age – as our tooth enamel thins and the inner surface of the tooth, the dentin, darkens, teeth will look yellower
- internal staining of the dentin – this can happen for a variety of reasons, including use of antibiotics, exposure to high levels of fluoride, root canal infections, decay and dental trauma
- external staining of the enamel – this is caused by eating and drinking highly pigmented foods and smoking.
External stains can be removed with whitening, but age-related and internal stains don’t always respond to it. This is where one of our other cosmetic treatments comes to the fore: veneers in Liverpool.
Veneers in Liverpool can cover up any stain there is. Veneers in Liverpool are like false nails for the teeth. Our cosmetic dentist removes a thin layer of enamel, adds dental adhesive and then bonds the veneer to your tooth. Voila! No more stained tooth.
Each veneer is custom-made so will match your surrounding teeth in terms of shape, size and colour. And it’s not just stains that we can fix with veneers in Liverpool. They can also cover small gaps, chips and cracks, as well as worn and oddly-shaped teeth.
And although teeth whitening can last up to 2 years, our veneers in Liverpool have an even longer life span. With proper care and maintenance, our veneers last up to 10 years. You just need to make sure that you come for your regular check-ups with our general dentist and follow their advice on nutrition and oral hygiene.
