Gingival Veneers in London

Gingival veneers also known as gum veneers in London are custom-made veneers designed to make the teeth look shorter and cover the signs of gum recession. The result is a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Gum recession and black triangles can result following treatment for periodontal disease, bone repositioning, injury or general ageing. Traditionally these areas have been treated by surgery, in more recent years some restorative options have also become available such as Bioclear treatment. However, for patients that wish to avoid surgery or extensive restorative treatment and maintenance, gingival veneers or gum veneers London are a simple alternative offering a comfortable alternative that covers any areas of gum recession or black triangles which are apparent especially when you smile.

Dental gum veneers in London are made of flexible silicone and are normally fitted from canine to canine, though in some cases they can also be extended to the molar teeth. As they are removable, they can be easily cleaned and therefore pose no threat to oral health.

The use of a gingival veneer or gum veneer is minimally invasive and a quick and instant solution for patients dissatisfied with their gums recession.
