Dental veneers from Chepstow dentists create stunning smiles

Feeling ashamed or embarrassed about any aspect of your personal appearance can knock your self-esteem and make social situations awkward. Given that your smile is often the first thing that people see, it is important that you get a long lasting solution to any issues you have with the appearance of your teeth. The veneers which Chepstow dentists now offer can restore the natural look of your teeth in a simple procedure and, once fixed, can be cared for like normal teeth. They can be made from ceramics, composite bonding materials or porcelain for the best results and fit neatly over your stained, crooked or damaged teeth. If you opt for porcelain veneers they can be designed and fitted in just one afternoon. They are often described as contact lenses for teeth because they are so incredibly thin. This means that hardly any work is required to attach them. In fact, the advent of CEREC technology means that your new dental veneer can be fabricated in just over five minutes. Your dentist will take a digital image of your affected teeth which is sent to an online milling factory which will craft the veneer while you wait. Once the area has been thoroughly cleaned by your dentist, an etching agent is applied to ensure that the dental bonding has maximum grip to the existing teeth. Once the veneer is attached, you will be amazed at how natural it looks. Your dentist is able to match the veneer to your existing teeth in terms of colour, texture and even translucence. Ask your Chepstow dentist today about how veneers can put an end to your embarrassing crooked, stained or damaged teeth.

Brighten smile with Enlighten teeth whitening from Bath dentist

As we age our teeth become more susceptible to staining and discolouration. Tooth whitening is a process that aims to reverse the process of discolouration and combat staining without the need for costly veneers or other restorations. The tooth is made up of two distinct layers. At the top is the protective layer of tooth enamel. Underneath this is a layer of a very hard substance called dentin. When we eat certain foods and drink certain liquids these two layers can become stained. Foods particularly bad for staining teeth are red wine, coffee and tea. Smoking cigarettes is also very bad for the teeth leaving yellow stains. It is possible to remove some stains of the surface of the enamel using ordinary cleaning techniques or by visiting a dental hygienist. However, if the discolouration penetrates to the dentin then it is very hard if not impossible to remove. This is when a tooth whitening procedure may be very useful to restore teeth to their original colour. The process works by applying a bleaching agent, usually hydrogen peroxide, to the surface of the tooth. This is accomplished by using special trays that keep the active gel in contact with the tooth. The peroxide penetrates the tooth and targets stained areas, returning them to their white colour. One of the most popular whitening treatments available from Bath dentists is called Enlighten. Enlighten has an excellent safety record, especially when applied by a dentist with all the necessary safety equipment. Using an enlighten product for a couple of hours each day especially prepared trays from your dentist could lighten the colour of your teeth by up to ten shades. Teeth whitening is a very effective and affordable cosmetic dentistry treatment that can produce stunning results. Ask your dentist for more information.

Experience the power of Lumineer veneers at Chepstow dentist

There are a number of companies that manufacture dental veneers. One of the biggest and most popular is Cerinate. Their most recent addition to the market is Lumineer veneers. Lumineers are a special type of incredibly thin veneer that can be used to reshape your smile and enhance the colour of stained teeth. They are also perfect for unevenly spaced and worn down teeth. What is it that makes Lumineers different from any other dental veneer available? Well, firstly they are made of very thin yet tough porcelain that is about the same width as a contact lens. This means that little preparation work is needed before application. In fact there is very seldom a need to remove any of the teeth’s natural enamel, which can happen with some other laboratory-manufactured veneers. This also means that the whole process is completely reversible should you at any point need to remove the veneers without damaging the teeth. Lumineers are so thin they can be placed directly over the top of existing dental restorations such as porcelain crowns and other veneers. This comes in very handy when the veneers themselves begin to develop stains after about fifteen years. Whereas some other veneers would need to be ground down or forcibly removed before the application of fresh veneers, Lumineers can simply be placed over the top. Not all dentists offer Lumineer veneers because they have to be registered as an official representative of Lumineers. However, dentists in Chepstow offer Lumineers to restore the appearance of your teeth to give you the bright, even and healthy smile you have always wanted.

Swindon dentist restores smile and confidence with cosmetic dentistry

There are many types of cosmetic dentistry available for patients of all budgets and with all conditions of teeth. Over the last twenty years technology has allowed an amazing improvement in the nature of cosmetic dental treatments to the point that there are now very few patients who could not benefit greatly from a cosmetic treatment. This improvement in treatment has been echoed by a reduction in price. As many treatments are now more easily performed, they are also more cost-effective. This has opened up the world of cosmetic dentistry to many more patients. Cosmetic dentistry has also benefited from increased exposure on the many and multifarious television makeover shows, which advertise just exactly what kind of level of improvement is possible. One of the most popular and affordable cosmetic dentistry treatments is tooth whitening. This involves placing a special whitening gel in contact with the enamel, to bleach any patches of discolouration or staining. This can yield stunning results with teeth being made up to ten shades whiter. With treatments starting from as little as sixty pounds, there is now every reason to ask your Swindon dentist about teeth whitening. Other cosmetic dental procedures include ceramic restoration such as veneers and crowns. These can improve the appearance of stained, misaligned and worn teeth helping to improve the appearance of your smile. Although slightly more expensive than some other treatments, they are also capable of transforming the appearance of teeth in as little as one appointment. Ask your dentist at your next check up about which of the cosmetic treatments would be most suitable for your teeth. They will also be able to give you a clearer indication of the price for each individual procedure.

Make a great first impression with dental veneers from Chepstow dentist

First impressions really count and nothing helps you make a better one than a beautiful smile. For many people, uneven or badly stain-damaged teeth can cause a loss of confidence that makes them nervous or ashamed of smiling. But there is something that can be done to give you the beautiful, 100 per cent confident smile you have always wanted. We’ve all seen the makeover shows where people’s teeth are completely transformed, helping them to look younger and more attractive, and the secret weapon behind these transformations is dental veneers. Veneers are wafer thin, shaped-porcelain pieces that are specially designed to fit over the top of damaged teeth. They can be used to cover damaged caused by discolouration, uneven or crooked teeth, or teeth suffering from enamel erosion. Veneers can be fitted in only a single appointment to the dentist, being manufactured with the aid of 3D imaging and computer-guided technology. They are cemented in place using tooth-coloured composite dental bonding and are so thin they don’t require any prior enamel removal. Because veneers are made from wafer thin porcelain they can closely resemble the appearance of real enamel, making them look extremely realistic. The cost of veneers from a Chepstow dentist will vary according to the nature and extent of treatment needed but the spectacular results they can achieve make them worth every penny. Anxiety about your teeth can be very hard to live with but with dental veneers it can become a thing if the past.
