Veneers

A veneer is a thin, custom-made shell that is used to cover the front surface of a tooth, usually made from porcelain. They look natural and healthy, and can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth. They can hide stained, chipped, mis-shaped or crooked teeth, or cover gaps in teeth where orthodontic treatment may not be suitable.

At Oakmead Dental Care we use only the best materials and quality ceramic laboratories that have been tried and tested by thousands of patients. The procedure takes two appointments. At the first appointment, we shape your teeth as carefully and conservatively as possible and take a mould of the teeth to be veneered. Hand crafted temporary veneers are then placed on your teeth whilst your final veneers are being made. This allows you to ‘trial’ your new smile so that you can experience how your new smile will look and feel. If you want any changes to the shape or size at this stage, we can make adjustments so that you’re completely satisfied.

Once the veneers are ready, the temporary veneer is removed at your second appointment, and the permanent one fitted. Your Oakmead Dental Care dentist will check the fit to ensure a correct bite and check your comfort, before securing in place.

Call us on 01342 325363 to book a consultation and discuss your smile makeover options.
