Are you looking for a way to smarten up your smile? Then veneers in Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard may just be what you want. They’re a great way to improve the colour and shape of your teeth, and give yourself confidence in your smile. Here’s how they work, and why you should choose us to help you with them.
Looking at veneers in Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard? Then you’ll need to know exactly what you’ll be getting. A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain, which bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They’re designed to improve the look of your teeth, giving them a more pleasing and uniform colour and shape.
You may have heard of veneers being removable. They were removable in the early days of veneer work, as they were first used in Hollywood. These models had to be taken out during eating and sleeping. These days though, veneers are bonded to the teeth using advanced adhesives, making them a long term option.
If you’re looking for ways to improve the look of your teeth, you have a few different options. Veneers in Milton Keynes have been very useful for patients looking to do any of the following:
Change the colour of the teeth: If your teeth are discoloured or worn down, you may want to find a safe way to improve that colour. Veneers can be made to mask the colouration, making them more aesthetically pleasing.
Improve tooth structure: You may have gone through orthodontic work as a child, but still don’t have the smile you want. If there are gaps between your teeth, or you want to improve their alignment, veneers can do that for you.
Change the shape of a tooth: Perhaps you just have one, or a couple of teeth, that need to be corrected. If there’s just a couple of teeth that look out of place, veneers can help correct them .
Repair a broken or chipped tooth: Veneers are great for repairing teeth as well as helping mask flaws. If you have a chipped tooth that bothers you, you can repair it with a veneer.
Once you’ve decided to have veneers fitted, you’ll need to talk to your dentist about them. They will walk you through what will happen next, and assess whether veneers would be right for you. They will also take x rays of your teeth at this point.
Veneers are made with digital technology, where the veneers can be planned and designed to your exact specifications. You’ll be able to see just what your veneers will look like, before you approve them. As soon as you’re happy with them, the design will be sent to a lab to be created.
Once they’re ready, we’ll apply those veneers for you. We’ll clean, polish and roughen the tooth surface, in order to create the best surface for bonding. The adhesive is then applied with the veneers, and a high intensity light is used to help it harden quickly. We’ll assess your bite, and show you the finished product. We can make adjustments as needed at this point. Once you’re happy, the veneers are fully applied and you’re ready to start enjoying your new look.
Veneers are designed to last up to 15 years, so you’ll want to take good care of them. Luckily, it’s very easy to do so. Just care for them as you would your natural teeth. The only difference is that you should use a non abrasive toothpaste, to avoid damaging the porcelain.
It’s worth remembering that the process is non reversible, as your natural tooth enamel is removed to attach veneers in Milton Keynes. As such, you’ll want to take good care of them to get the best effect. We can help advise you more on this subject, if needed.
