Dental Veneers in London

All of our dental veneers London work is carried out by Dr. Chetan Kaher BDS BSc (Hons) MFDS RCS, Dr. Sarita Kotecha BDS and Associates

Dental veneers in London are custom-made ceramic facings that are bonded to the front of discoloured, chipped, cracked, poorly positioned or poorly shaped teeth.

Here at Smile Cliniq, a leading dentist London, we offer many types of dental veneers London, although our preference is for Emax veneers (an advanced type of porcelain veneers) or composite veneers. The materials used by our ceramists to create your veneer teeth provide the most aesthetic man made alternative to natural tooth tissue.

Rapid advances in ceramic technology and resin bonding systems has revolutionised the concept of using composite veneers and porcelain veneers to ‘design a smile’. Preparation varies from patient to patient and is usually very minimal. If required, our Dentists carry out a minimal tooth reduction of 0.5mm – 1mm for our ceramist to create your perfect smile. See our portfolio on Dental Veneer and Veneer Teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Here at Smile Cliniq, our preference for the type of porcelain dental veneers in London we offer is Emax veneers. Ivoclar Vivadent’s patented Lithium Disilicate material is truly a revolution for the dental industry. Never before has a material been able to combine high strength, aesthetics and ease of use into one product, until now. Emax veneers are a form of high strength porcelain veneers that are custom made and bonded to teeth to improve the aesthetics and strength of the teeth or to enhance their function.

Emax veneers are pressed ceramic and their high strength and durability make it possible to produce them in very thin layers allowing little or no preparation (drilling) of the teeth.  This is one of the biggest advantages of Emax veneers and hence avoiding drilling the teeth to peg shapes as can be necessary with more conventional porcelain veneers.  Because the bond is with the enamel, this also allows much stronger bond between the veneer and tooth than bonding to the inner part of the tooth, known as the dentine.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers, also known as direct veneers, are made out of composite material and used to improve the appearance of damaged, discoloured teeth or teeth with unattractive gaps or improper alignment. Composite dental veneers London are created by the dentist in the surgery so this aesthetic improvement can be done in just one appointment. In comparison, porcelain veneers are created in a dental laboratory and usually require two or three appointments to complete. Composite veneers are a cost-effective solution to repair and improve the appearance of teeth. However, they may not be as aesthetically naturally looking as porcelain ones.

Here are some examples of composite veneers:

What is the Procedure for Dental Veneers?

Initial consultation, assessment and planning will occur with one of our Dental Veneer London Specialists. The options appropriate to your case will be thoroughly discussed with you to help you choose between composite veneers or porcelain veneers at our London dentist. Preoperative pictures and tooth shade will be taken, and your smile design process is initiated. Impressions will be taken to allow our ceramist to provide a diagnostic wax up of your composite veneers or porcelain veneers, this will physically allow you to visualise and approve the intended outcome with your dental veneers London treatment.

At your second visit the teeth to be veneered will be minimally prepared. An impression will be taken and sent to our ceramist along with your smile design and custom prescription. Temporary veneers are constructed to provide you with an aesthetic provisional restoration, already improving your smile. In the meantime, a Smile Cliniq veneers London ceramist will hand craft your final composite veneer or porcelain veneers.

At the final visit the provisional veneers are carefully removed, and your custom made veneers tried in. A thorough quality control programme is initiated to ensure that you receive a Smile Cliniq product of premier quality. You will be shown the finished look at this try in stage of your veneers London treatment. Once you confirm that you are pleased with the appearance and fit, your Dentist will bond the composite veneers or porcelain veneers to your teeth.

Recall and Review

With both composite veneers and porcelain veneers, it may take a couple of days for you to become accustomed to your new teeth. You will be invited to return a few weeks after your veneers London treatment to review your oral health status, condition of teeth veneers and feedback of the cosmetic result. It is important to employ a strict oral hygiene regime encompassing professional hygiene intervention. You will be shown the most appropriate method to ensure optimal oral health. As with any treatment, regular recall and review is essential to ensure the status of your dental veneers.

It is generally accepted that between 1 in 5 and 1 in 8 teeth veneered or crowned go on to become non-vital and require a root canal treatment at some stage and this can be many many years after the initial crown. Rarely, dental veneers may also fracture or debond and further work maybe required.
