What are Dental Veneers? 

Dental veneers are thin shells made of ceramic (porcelain). They can also be made with composite resin. However, porcelain can last longer and look better. That’s why they are also called porcelain veneers or porcelain laminates. Such shells can be bonded to the front of the teeth and look perfectly natural. They cover the forward-facing part of the teeth. Each tooth requires one separate veneer. Such veneers are customized to match the color of your other teeth, thus giving a completely natural look. Plus, this procedure is completely safe and painless. The primary function of veneers is to conceal any discolorations or dull look of the teeth.

Be it teeth staining, damages due to injuries, chipped or worn out teeth or spacing between teeth, dental veneers can make your teeth look perfectly shaped and white! Also, when done by reputed dentist South East London, dental veneers last anywhere between 10 to 20 years, thus giving you long-term results without any fear of damaging your teeth.

How a Dental Veneer is made? 

Dental veneers are customized as per each individual, depending upon the teeth anatomy and color of the adjacent teeth. A lot of care goes into choosing the right shade of the veneer so that they would blend in to match the individual’s teeth and display a natural look. The veneer process would first begin with a dental cleaning. Then the teeth are lightly buffed down. This allows making space for the slightly added thickness of the veneer. Once the appropriate amount is removed, the dentist crystal palace would take a molding of the tooth. This mold with the impression of your teeth is then sent to the laboratory for making the veneer.
