Dental veneers – a versatile cosmetic treatment

If you have dark spots or discolouration on your teeth, you are probably less inclined to smile. Teeth whitening is a cost-effective and quick solution, but it doesn’t work for everyone, especially for people with permanent stains on their teeth. Fortunately, a cosmetic dentist can fix this problem with one simple treatment – dental veneers.

Dental veneers are custom-made dental enhancements that are made of high-quality porcelain. These thin, tooth-shaped leaves of porcelain are directly attached to the teeth and can instantly transform your smile. Simply come to Parbold Dental for a cosmetic consultation and our experienced dentists will help you decide if this is the right treatment for you.

What are dental veneers so versatile?

Dental veneers are a very versatile treatment because they can fix many dental problems in one go. Patients with chipped, cracked, misshapen, discoloured, slightly misaligned and gapped teeth, can achieve a different smile with dental veneers. This treatment is also cost-effective as it can solve many problems at once without the need for separate cosmetic procedures.

Are veneers a time-consuming procedure?

The placement of veneers in Ormskirk is a fairly quick procedure as it requires 2-3 visits to the dentist. During your first visit, the dentist will examine your teeth carefully, and assess the size of the problem. After removing a thin layer of the tooth enamel, the dentist will take digital pictures and measurements of your teeth. These are going to be used for the creation and customisation of your veneers.

Once your veneers are ready, you will have to visit the dentist again for the bonding process. During this procedure, your dentist will attach the veneers directly on top of your teeth with the help of a special cement. As the cement hardens, the dentist will make all the necessary modifications to ensure that your veneers are comfortable and attractive.
