Veneers Manchester – Everything You Need To Know
One of the most popular dental cosmetic treatments of recent years is porcelain veneers. Manchester residents will be surprised to know that not only are they a quick way of restoring a great looking smile but they’re also part of a smile makeovers Manchester treatment package. At our Church Road dental practice Manchester, we have a wealth of experience in cosmetic dentistry particularly when it comes to veneers; but what exactly are they and how do they work? Let’s take a closer look.
Porcelain veneers are incredibly thin sheets of laminated porcelain that are cut and moulded to sit on the outside of your teeth. They’re also custom coloured to match the look of your remaining teeth so that they blend in seamlessly for that flawless look. To apply them, a special bonding agent or adhesive is used to stick them to the surface of the tooth. It’s quick drying and allows the wearer to eat, drink, and talk naturally once the veneer is in place.
So what can they be used to treat?
Surprisingly porcelain veneers can be used to cover up a number of dental problems including:
• Chipped teeth
• Broken teeth
• Badly stained teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Gaps between teeth
Before they’re attached our highly experienced team at our Church Road dental practice in Manchester will shave a thin layer of your natural tooth away allowing the new veneer to sit flush with the rest of your teeth to look as natural as possible. The entire process is quick and painless and in many cases, once you’ve had a consultation and your custom veneers have been made, you can walk into a clinic during your lunch hour and walk out again with newly placed porcelain veneers. Manchester residents can therefore rest assured knowing that this is the quickest and most viable way to restore damaged or ugly looking teeth.
So why use porcelain?
Dental porcelain is used for several reasons. Firstly it’s incredibly strong so it’s a good replacement for your teeth enamel. Secondly, and unlike teeth enamel, it won’t corrode or stain. Therefore coffee, red wine, and fizzy drinks shouldn’t cause your new teeth to darken or to yellow in colour. Finally, dental porcelain actually feels like your natural teeth so your veneers will be comfortable in the mouth.
What about maintenance?
They’re maintained in exactly the same way as your natural teeth would be. That means regular and proper brushing and flossing. Also frequent visits to your dentist for check-ups should also be adhered to to make sure that your veneers remain in tip top condition.
