Being ashamed of your teeth because they are discoloured, stained or crooked can be a very embarrassing thing. It can make you reluctant to smile or even have eye contact with people, which can be very damaging to the self-esteem and self-confidence. Many people with bad teeth think that there is nothing they can do about it, but modern dental technology has found a solution to treat even teeth in the worst of conditions.
One such treatment for bad teeth is to have a set of porcelain veneers fitted. These are extremely thin caps that fit over the top of existing teeth to create the impression of evenly sized, white and straight teeth. The veneers are often made of porcelain because it has the same translucent quality as tooth enamel and also because it is very durable.
The veneers are fixed using composite bonding, which is a resin substance that can be set very hard when put under intense heat. The teeth are coated with bonding before the veneers are applied and straightened into position. When satisfied, the Central Leeds dentist will use a dental laser to safely set the bonding and secure the veneers. New dental technology has seen the development of chair-side veneer technology with the possibility of designing, manufacturing and installing a set of veneers in just one appointment. There really would be no need to be ashamed to smile with a new set of porcelain veneers so why not ask your Central Leeds dentist today?
