Veneers can have one of the most dramatic effects on the appearance of teeth. Modern porcelain veneers are incredibly lifelike and completely transform the appearance of damaged teeth. Modern veneer technology is also making the design and fitting of veneers significantly easier and less time consuming. It is also reducing the levels of discomfort the patient may experience during the treatment.
Veneers are ideal for restoring the appearance of teeth damaged by discolouration, staining or enamel damage. The veneer itself is an extremely thin porcelain case that fits over the existing teeth, restoring the colour and even size of healthy looking teeth. The veneers are attached using a bonding made of composite resin which will also be tooth coloured for maximum effect. This also provides another protective layer against further damage.
Leeds dentists are skilled in the manufacture and application of veneers, especially using the latest chair-side technology, which can produce veneers in a fraction of the time. Although veneers may be expensive, especially in opting for a total overhaul of both dental arcs, the results attainable are second to none in the filed of cosmetic dentistry.
Porcelain veneers look so realistic not only because they can be chosen to closely match the original teeth colour, but also because modern veneers can be made to be so thin they even have the particular translucent quality of tooth enamel. Thin veneers also don’t require the removal of any enamel that used to be the case with older treatments.
