What are veneers?
What are veneers?
Veneers are a popular dental treatment that consists of either a composite or porcelain material being applied to your teeth to hide imperfections and improve the overall shape. There are multiple benefits to choosing veneers and in some cases can offer results that other treatments wouldn't be able to provide. The procedure will vary depending on which type of veneer you will choose, so it's important to know the difference.
Composite veneers, which are an extremely popular option due to their quick treatment time, consist of a composite material that is applied to the tooth. A layer of the material covers the entire tooth, hiding any discolouration and whitening it in the process. Composite bonding is similar, however, it is often only a small part of the tooth that is covered during that process. Using the tooth-coloured composite material, we're able to improve the shape of your tooth too, repairing any crookedness or misshapen teeth.
Composite veneers can also be applied as part of our Same Day Smile treatment. This consists of a prior appointment to discuss with you the benefits of the procedure and what it entails. We'll also plan which teeth you'd like to have the treatment applied to and plan the treatment stage. On the day of treatment, we'll carry out the procedure in our luxury facility and you'll be able to leave later that same day with the treatment complete. The procedure is completely pain-free and you can even watch a film or listen to music whilst you're in the chair.
It's important to understand what's involved in the process and how to look after your veneers too. With composite veneers, they can last up to 7 years, meaning you'll need an appointment to reapply them at this time if you'd like to continue benefiting from the best results. In contrast, porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years but will require permanent changes to your teeth in order to be applied. Caring for your veneers will also vary depending on the different types, as the composite material will still be susceptible to chips and discolouration, meaning you'll have to be careful when it comes to certain foods and drinks.
Porcelain veneers are much longer-lasting than composite veneers and can provide slightly different benefits. For example, they're not susceptible to discolouration, unlike composite bonding, meaning you don't have to worry about losing that shiny white colour. They're also less likely to chip than composite materials but you still need to care for them. It is possible that they could break if you bite hard items or if the veneers have been applied improperly in the first place. At Dental Excellence, we're experts in our field and have years of experience applying porcelain veneers, reassuring you that you're getting a top-quality service when you choose us.
The procedure for porcelain veneers is a little different to composite veneers as they require a part of the tooth's enamel to be removed in order to have the veneer fitted. This is contrasted to composite veneers which can have the material applied over the top of the tooth to create the veneers. This means that the changes to your teeth that need to be made for porcelain veneers are permanent, whereas composite options are reversible. Porcelain veneers are also pre-constructed in a lab, before the day of treatment, so the size and shape can be perfected. By using this method, we can ensure a quicker procedure and guarantee amazing results.
You may think that due to a small layer of enamel needing to be removed, in order to fit the veneer, that this would leave your teeth looking unnatural. However, the veneers are meticulously crafted to ensure they accurately resemble your natural teeth. In some cases, they're able to repair issues, such as uneven teeth and make them appear more natural than they did previously. This is a huge benefit of veneers, as they're able to fix issues with your teeth that may have otherwise made eating difficult or damaged your confidence as a result of a crooked smile.

Getting started
Getting started with veneers at Dental Excellence
On the day of the treatment, you'll be invited into our luxury facility in either Liverpool or Chelsea, which has been furnished with stunning Italian furniture to create a relaxing environment. We've also moved away from a lot of the traditional design elements which are incorporated into dental practices as we believe this can often create a cold and unwelcoming feel. We've also incorporated warm lighting into the facility to create a much more welcoming feel, similar to that of a spa or hotel. We haven't just focused on style either, as our facility also features an air-filtration system that ensures a sterile environment.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about dental veneers
Why would I need to get veneers?
Getting veneers is an extremely personal journey and one that can lead to rebuilding your happiness. Some people are simply born with dental issues whereas some people suffer accidents or develop issues over time, which can damage their self-esteem. Opting for veneers can be the start of the process which leads to you regaining perfect teeth. From crooked teeth, broken or stained teeth, there are a range of issues that can lead to you seeking out a solution.
Often, if you have crooked teeth, it's an issue you're born with and if it doesn't show early on, it will likely become prevalent when your adult teeth come through. Discoloured teeth, on the other hand, is an issue that develops over time and is essentially a result of wear and tear. Drinking dark liquids and other habits, such as smoking, can take their toll on your teeth over time, eradicating that desirable white glow. There are other issues that can cause discoloration too, such as a dead tooth, which often leads to the tooth becoming dull and more grey in colour, which can stand out against other white teeth.
In the case of a dead tooth, porcelain veneers are a great option as you don't have to worry about permanently changing your natural tooth, due to its damaged state. This allows you to use the tooth as a base to have what is essentially a brand-new, shiny white tooth, replace it. This means you don't have to live with an issue that would otherwise cause permanent change to your smile. As the results are also long-lasting, they can prove a great investment for those who want to maintain a great smile for many years.
Cost can be a huge factor when choosing your veneers and deciding which type of veneer to get. Porcelain veneers can last up to twice as long as composite veneers, making them much more of a long-term investment. This also reduces the number of appointments you'll need over this time, allowing you to carry on with your day-to-day life, without worrying about having to book more appointments.
Crooked teeth are an extremely common issue which patients look to have fixed with dental veneers, as they can transform your smile and make teeth appear straighter. With composite material, this can be applied to areas of the teeth to reshape them entirely, making a full set of crooked teeth appear perfectly straight. This is also a great alternative to those who don't want to face the hassle of having braces as this also provides excellent results in a much shorter time. Braces can also make brushing and eating certain foods more difficult, however, with veneers, although you still have to care for them, you can look after them as you would your natural teeth.
Damaged teeth, such as teeth with cracks or chips can't be fixed by treatments such as braces, however, veneers can completely transform your teeth. If your teeth have cracked either due to an accident or as a result of grinding your teeth, dental veneers can help restore the tooth's integrity. The veneer can also be used to fill or replace gaps that have been left by chips, whilst also whitening the tooth, making it appear even whiter than before.

What is the process for applying dental veneers?
One of the most important parts of receiving a veneer treatment is how you care for your teeth post-treatment. Certain actions of negligence towards your teeth could lead to lasting damage or your treatment being ineffective. However, to help you through this stage of the process, our expert team has some advice on how to properly look after your teeth once the treatment is complete.
The first 48 hours after your treatment is crucial and it's extremely important to ensure that you don't consume any foods or liquid which could stain the composite material. This can include hot liquids too such as tea and coffee. Just like your natural teeth, food and drink with a strong colour, such as coffee and red wine, can stain your teeth over time. Cigarettes can also severely damage your teeth too, and be detrimental to your overall oral health.
Maintaining clean teeth and ensuring you prevent plaque build-up over time will also help protect your composite treatment. By maintaining a high level of dental health, you'll be able to sustain the composite for longer and reduce the chances of having to have a touch-up due to wear and tear. If you are unable to do this, you risk the chance that your composite treatment will become damaged due to excessive plaque. Not only can this damage the treatment which has been applied to your teeth, but it can also cause more serious issues that may lead to you needing more extensive dental work if damage is caused.
You should also avoid biting and chewing on objects which could potentially chip the composite material. The bonding material isn't as strong as your natural tooth so excessive force or pressure on delicate areas could cause the treatment to chip. This would mean you'll have to revisit our facility to have the chip filled in. Of course, accidents do happen and sometimes can't be prevented, so you can take comfort in knowing that we can fix any damage which has been caused.
If you regularly partake in contact sports, it's extremely important to ensure you wear protection for your mouth whilst active. Due to the composite material being weaker than your tooth, it can be extremely easy for the veneers to become chipped if you suffer impact as a result of the sport. To prevent this, you should wear a gum shield to ensure your teeth are sufficiently protected whilst the risk of impact is high.
Assuming that you're able to closely follow this advice, you'll be able to get the full lifespan out of your treatment and enjoy the stunning results for the longest period of time. If your treatment is coming to the end of its natural life span and beginning to fade, you'll be able to have the treatment reapplied and ensure that your teeth remain looking straight, white and healthy.

How can veneers be used to improve my smile?
A person's smile looks its best when each tooth is the same colour and aligned with the others. There are multiple issues that can affect the teeth, ensuring that this isn’t the case. There are also a lot of treatments that can alter the shape of the teeth and make them appear more aligned. However, further treatment is often required to whiten the teeth. With veneers, you can have the shape and alignment of your teeth repaired whilst also improving their colour.
Using the veneers effectively, your entire smile can be transformed, giving you that much-needed boost of confidence. Often, if your smile doesn't look how you would like it to, your confidence and self-esteem can be damaged as a result. This can lead to you not wanting to smile at all or suffering anxiety in social situations, which can be extremely difficult, especially if your job involves meeting new people regularly. Achieving a perfect smile can change the way you view yourself and eradicate your fear of smiling.
Veneers are a great long-term solution and a popular choice for patients who want a treatment that can solve both alignment issues and give them a bright smile. They're able to create a natural appearance whilst hiding a range of issues, such as gaps in between teeth, that would otherwise take much longer to fix, using methods such as braces.
