A simple but effective solution
When a tooth is damaged and whether it be a chip, crack or repositioning of the tooth, either you may consider the imperfection unimportant and continue with daily life, or it may be that the first thing you notice on a daily basis is this slight alteration to your smile. This is where we, at Liverpool Smile Studio, can use veneers Liverpool to quickly and efficiently blend your tooth with your natural smile without the need for extensive surgery or tooth realignment processes.
So what are they?
In simple terms, a dental veneer is essentially a cap or shell that can be placed over your natural tooth. Using a special cement, the cap will be bonded to your natural tooth, strengthening it and removing the visible imperfection that may have been affecting your daily smile.
As with all dental treatments, it is important to have the tooth blend in with the surrounding teeth in terms of colour, shape and size. This is why the caps are custom-made to suit each patient’s teeth. The purpose of this solution is to improve the smile without any extensive procedures; therefore, it is often suitable for those suffering from a nervous disposition towards visits to the dentists.
Aftercare
Although you may initially feel the need to protect this tooth, it is important to care for and clean your veneers in the same fashion as your other natural teeth for as long as possible. We advise that you avoid harder foods; the holiday rock from Cornwall may not be suitable to eat. Eating soups and sipping through straws for the rest of your days is not necessary either, so treat it as one of your own and remember to visit us for regular dental checkups to protect your natural teeth as well as your veneers Liverpool.
Repairing a veneer
In some cases, your veneers may be damaged either due to a slight chip, crack or a variety of other possibilities. In these cases, you will always have to get a complete replacement of the veneer rather than a simple repair solution. Therefore, it is important to take care of your teeth as a whole, whether it be through your daily care, through your regular visits to our dental practice or by avoiding habits such as nail-biting or teeth-grinding. A simple bad habit may not seem like a huge deal, but the knock-on effect could lead to further dental problems and costs later in life.
A solution to stand against time
Although it does depend on the individual case, for those with a high level of care within their oral hygiene process, veneers Liverpool can last up to around 10 years. Therefore, this simple solution can help nervous patients avoid regular tweaks to their straightening process or avoid hours spent in the chair to repair a broken tooth. Whilst regular dental health checks are essential, overall, when cared for efficiently, the tooth with a cap merely blends into the normal routine.
