Dental Veneers

At Gloucester Dental Specialists, we can enhance your smile with beautifully created veneers.

Our cutting-edge dental clinic in the heart of Gloucester is pleased to provide exceptional veneers as part of your smile makeover.

What exactly are veneers?

A veneer is a very thin shell attached to the surface of a tooth to improve its aesthetics. Each Veneer is handcrafted in a specialised dental laboratory to ensure colour and fit.

Dental veneers are a type of cosmetic dentistry that is widely used to repair gaps between teeth, enhance the look of crooked teeth, and give covering for teeth that aren’t the ideal colour.

What are veneers made from?

Veneers are often constructed from porcelain or composite resin, and each material has distinct properties.

Porcelain veneers are robust and long-lasting. Because they are non-porous, they do not discolour easily; yet, porcelain is difficult to repair if it does break. On the other hand, composite veneers may be preferred by people who want a more natural-looking smile due to their more realistic features. In most circumstances, they can be repaired.

Are veneers harmful to your teeth?

The materials used to adhere the veneers to your natural teeth are not harmful to them. Every treatment plan is one-of-a-kind. To create a place for a veneer to sit, a sliver of enamel from your natural tooth surface may be removed occasionally. This is always done in conjunction with you as part of your initial consultation.

What is the lifespan of veneers?

Although dental veneers are not permanent and we can’t make any guarantees, they should last between seven and fifteen years in the absence of destructive habits and given consideration.

Is it possible to whiten my teeth after having veneers placed?

Porcelain veneers are non-porous, which has benefits and drawbacks. One advantage is that once installed, they do not readily discolour. They, on the other hand, cannot be whitened.

If you are considering getting dental veneers and tooth-whitening, we recommend that you receive whitening treatment first.

Is there an alternative to veneers?

The closest equivalent therapy to veneers is composite bonding. Cosmetic dentistry frequently has more than one answer to help you attain a beautiful smile, and our skilled dental team will gladly walk you through your treatment options.
