Transform your smile with dental veneers in Keynsham, Bristol, and Bath

What can dental veneers be used for?

Dental veneers are incredibly versatile and can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns:

Discolouration: Veneers can cover stubborn stains that don't respond to teeth whitening.
Chips and cracks: They can repair minor damage, restoring the integrity and appearance of your teeth.
Gaps between teeth: Veneers can close small gaps, creating a more uniform smile.
Uneven teeth: They can create a more symmetrical and balanced smile by correcting minor misalignments.
Worn-down teeth: Veneers can restore the shape and length of worn-down teeth.

The advantages of dental veneers

Choosing dental veneers offers numerous benefits:

Natural appearance: Porcelain veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, providing a seamless and realistic look.
Stain resistance: Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining, ensuring your smile stays bright and beautiful.
Durability: With proper care, veneers can last for many years, providing a long-lasting smile transformation.
Minimal invasiveness: The procedure typically requires minimal tooth preparation, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Boosted confidence: A beautiful smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem and confidence.

Are there any disadvantages to having dental veneers?
While dental veneers offer many advantages, it's essential to be aware of potential drawbacks:

Irreversibility: The process of preparing your teeth for veneers is generally irreversible.
Sensitivity: You may experience temporary tooth sensitivity after the procedure.
Cost: Veneers can be a more expensive cosmetic dental treatment.
Potential for damage: Although durable, veneers can chip or crack if subjected to excessive force.

Since veneers are a permanent change, it's really important to think it through before you decide. To help you make the right choice, Colgate offers six key points to consider and you can discuss these with us at your dental veneers consultation.

How to look after dental veneers

Practice good oral hygiene: Brush and floss your teeth daily, just as you would with natural teeth.
Avoid hard foods: Refrain from biting down on hard foods or objects that could damage your veneers.
Wear a nightguard: If you grind your teeth, a nightguard can protect your veneers from excessive wear.
Regular dental check-ups: Schedule regular dental appointments with us for professional hygiene cleanings and check-ups.

The treatment process for dental veneers

The process for getting dental veneers in Keynsham, Bristol, and Bath typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: We will assess your oral health and discuss your smile goals.
Impressions: Digital impressions of your teeth are taken so we can create models of your teeth and plan your new smile. You can even preview how the veneers will transform your smile.
Tooth preparation: Once you are happy with your new smile, we prepare your teeth, if needed. A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of your teeth to create space for the veneers.
Bespoke veneers: Your dental veneers are crafted at the dental laboratory using the models of your teeth.
Temporary veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent veneers are being made.
Bonding: Once your veneers are ready, we invite you back in. Once you are entirely happy with them, they are bonded to your teeth using a special dental adhesive.
Final adjustments: We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and appearance.
