Veneer Treatments in Liverpool

There is a range of issues that can lead to someone wanting to get veneers. While there are definitely cosmetic benefits to the procedure, there are also dental health issues that can contribute to that decision. If any of the below is an issue for you, getting a veneer treatment may be an option to explore. 

• Improve your smile: A smile is a big part of someone’s identity. Unfortunately, people can become self-conscious about their smiles, affecting their confidence, self-esteem, and how they present themselves to the world. This can be for a multitude of reasons, including discolouration and misalignment. In this case, veneers are a great long-term solution as they are able to create a natural smile whilst hiding a range of issues without having to undergo an extensive treatment plan. Together, we can create the smile you want so you can be the best version of yourself and allow your confidence to shine through. 
• Fixing the shape: People also undergo veneer treatment to alter the shape of their teeth. For example, individuals may suffer from crooked teeth and, as a result, suffer from self-esteem and confidence issues. This also goes for different shaped and sized teeth where some are pointier or smaller than others. If you do have crooked teeth, veneers can prove to be a good alternative to braces. 
• Closing the gap: Veneers are also a viable option for people who have gaps in their teeth. The veneer should be able to close this gap. This doesn’t just improve the appearance of your smile or teeth in general but the overall health of the tooth. This is because gaps in the mouth can lead to dental issues, such as tooth decay and plaque build-up, which, if not dealt with, can lead to gum disease. 
• Enamel erosion: With the food and drink we consume on a daily basis, there is a chance for the enamel to be worn down. This happens naturally as a result of time and is escalated by habits like drinking caffeinated drinks, such as tea and coffee, or smoking. When this happens, veneers are often recommended as a way to correct the damage. Getting veneers as a treatment can also help with teeth sensitivity, which worn-down enamel can be a cause of. 
• The everyday grind: The general use of teeth over time can cause them to become chipped or cracked. In some cases, due to grinding and gnawing, your teeth can become uneven, which will impact how you bite. In this case, veneers can be used to make biting and eating food more enjoyable while also making the tooth appear to be naturally healthy, improving the quality of your smile. 
• Fix white spots and streaks: White spots can be caused by excessive fluoride use, tartar build up, poor oral hygiene, dehydration, and marks caused by your braces. In some cases, it can also be the cause of enamel hypoplasia - this is when the enamel is thinner than it should be and in most cases is a result of other health issues.  
• Cover-up fillings: Veneers are also used to cover up large resin fillings that have become discoloured over time.

The procedure of getting veneers is minimally invasive and is relatively pain-free. It is a good option if you would like a cosmetic dental treatment without needless pain. As the veneers are placed on the visible parts of the teeth, the most invasive aspects of the procedure will be during the prepping stage, as, in most cases, a thin layer of the enamel will need to be removed. The after-effect of the procedure is a big advantage. 

Veneers are designed to give a natural appearance to the teeth and mouth. Therefore, following the procedure, your teeth will have a healthy glow that we hope will elevate not only your smile but your confidence, too. There is very little additional maintenance required when it comes to looking after your veneers. You simply make sure you brush your teeth twice a day and keep up with your oral hygiene to get the most out of the procedure. 

A big advantage of using porcelain veneers is how hard they are in comparison to your regular teeth. This means when the veneers sit on top of the tooth it is also protecting the underlying tooth it is covering. 

In most cases - yes, your teeth (the enamel to be precise) may need to be shaved down; however, the way in which it is done is very much dependent on your specific needs, which is why our dental experts will present you with a bespoke treatment plan outlining every step of the procedure. The amount that is shaved varies too and is something you can ask your dentist during your initial consultation.

Both veneers and implants are treatments that improve the cosmetic appearance of your teeth. The main difference lies in the areas of the tooth each of them covers. 

Both composite and porcelain veneers are designed to cover the front of your teeth, whereas implants are fixed to your jawbone in order to replace a missing tooth. The treatment times for both vary too, as veneers are often placed within two appointments, which can be made fairly close together. The process for implants can take up to six months. 

If you are unsure about which path to go down, our team will be on hand to discuss both options with you and advise you on the best route to take depending on your dental issues and the desired results you are hoping to achieve.
