Dental Veneers (also known as dental laminates) are a common cosmetic dentistry treatment. They are custom-made, thin shells of porcelain designed to shield the front of your teeth. Veneers offer a long-lasting and minimally invasive way to improve flaws in your smile and they are widely used by cosmetic dentists to re-establish dental function and strength.

At Harley Street Dental Clinic in London, dental veneers are versatile and can be used to treat a number of cosmetic issues with just one treatment. Whether you wish to close gaps between your teeth, restore decayed teeth, replace worn enamel, align slightly crooked teeth, change the colour of your teeth or repair fractures and chips, a cosmetic dentist in Harley Street will be able to answer any questions that you may have and address your concerns.

Advantages of dental veneers

Besides being cost-effective compared to other cosmetic treatments, veneers can be fitted quickly and easily. In most cases, your cosmetic dentist in Harley Street will place them in two or three dental appointments.

Dental veneers are custom-made to look like your natural teeth. Porcelain has the same light reflecting properties as real teeth and looks completely natural. Veneers will fix your smile without letting anyone know you have had dental work done.

Unlike white fillings and amalgam fillings that chip quite easily, Porcelain Veneers are stronger, usually lasting anywhere from 12 to 25 years with proper care. An additional benefit to choosing porcelain veneers over composite bonding is that porcelain is gum tissue-friendly.

Once your porcelain veneers are fitted, they will stay permanently in place. By restoring your teeth with veneers, they will be stronger and more resilient, allowing you to chew your favourite foods effortlessly.

Porcelain veneers are very easy to clean. Treat them as your natural teeth and brush and floss between your restorations as you would do normally. Finally, they resist food and drink stains, therefore you can keep them bright and shiny for years to come.
