You can get pretty much any cosmetic dental treatments you fancy in Weston-super-Mare these days to ensure you look the best for every occasion. However, some treatments are better suited to certain conditions in the mouth than others, the perfect example of this is where a little reconstruction and covering up is required to cover up years of brutality that you have put your mouth through and that has left your gums receding and your teeth worn, cracked, discoloured and chipped. In this scenario, you will need to get some porcelain veneers fitted to hide away all of these problems in order to rekindle your youth….well, your smile anyway.

If you look after them, they should see you into old age, but rest assured that your teeth will look fabulous until then.

Porcelain veneers are becoming a more common cosmetic dental procedure for patients from Bath and surrounding areas. Modern techniques and reduced prices are making this popular for many people, not just the rich and famous.
At Clifton Dental Studio in Bristol we frequently use the technique to improve the smiles for people, and with it their lives. This might sound like a bold statement but a smile is very important to people. It provides our patients with increased confidence which can make them better communicators, improving their career paths and their personal interaction. Many people are ashamed of their crooked or chipped teeth and, as a result, keep their mouths closed more than they would like. A porcelain veneer can change all that.
Basically, a porcelain veneer is a custom-made laminate which is attached to the front of a broken tooth to give you a more perfect smile. Porcelain is a ceramic material with similar properties to your natural teeth making it an ideal and realistic alternative. The surface is quite impervious so it is ideal for fighting off further staining and decay from sugars, wine and cigarettes. This does not mean you can stop brushing your teeth though!
It is possible to choose the shade of your veneer to match the natural colour of your teeth so they won’t look out of place in your mouth. They are also more long lasting than composite veneers, which makes them a popular choice in today’s dental market place. They can last up to 15 years compared to seven years for composite versions.
Before they can be added, some material is removed from the teeth so it can make your teeth more sensitive, but compared to crowns the shaping required is not so extensive. All in all, porcelain veneers are an excellent step to a perfect smile.
Have you ever stood in front of a porcelain statue and admired the depth and beauty of the material? And those Romans loved it and showed it of with vigor in Bath. Wind the clock forward to the present day and see just how porcelain is used in all streets of life and through Clifton Dental of Bristol you can see first hand how it is used in dentistry, as the material itself reflects the natural hue that the teeth’s enamel gives off. So then, we arrive at porcelain veneer, a gem if ever there was one because not only having a veneer fitted will copy the sheen of your other teeth, but will cover up loads of ‘ageing’ issues in your mouth. Gaps, cracks and the recession in your gums can all be countered by having veneers fitted to your teeth and it truly is a simple operation to have done. The teeth are first prepped by having the enamel removed and then impressions are taken of your teeth and sent off to a lab so that the veneers can be made. Before they return, you will be fitted with a dummy veneer to protect your teeth. Then once they are made, they are cemented into place. Now, if you were to hold a porcelain veneer in your hand, they look so delicate and fragile, but with the cement, they multiply in strength and become very durable and hardy- lasting anywhere up to 20 years. But it is not just about their strength, it is all about the way they look and the rejuvenation they give to your smile- they are astounding and will turn your mouth back by a good 20 years too.
Dental veneers are thin porcelain slips that can be slipped over the surface of the teeth to disguise imperfections and stop any damage from occurring in the future. In recent years, veneers have become increasingly popular due to their many benefits for oral health.
Veneers can be made from porcelain and can be attached to the surface of your teeth by your local dentist in Chepstow.
Veneers can hide many sins such as: stained or discoloured teeth, cracks and crooked teeth. Often referred to as ‘instant orthodontics’, veneers can straighten crooked teeth much in the same way as traditional braces do, but with much quicker results.
Before your veneers are fitted, your dentist will prepare your original teeth through shaping and shaving off a layer of your tooth as this allows room for the veneer to be put into place. An impression of your teeth must then be take so that the laboratory has a mould from which to produce your veneers. Cleaning and etching of the veneers must be performed by your dentist before they can be cemented down in place over your natural teeth.
Veneers last for 5 to 10 years and eventually will need to be replacing. However, if you brush your teeth twice a day, attend regular check-ups with your dentist and follow a healthy diet, your veneers should be stable, secure and offer you protection for many years. You can get all the information you need about this procedure from Clifton Dental of Bristol.

Are you ashamed and embarrassed by the appearance of your teeth? Do stained, discoloured, uneven or worn teeth stare back at you every time you look in the mirror? You might think there is nothing you can do about it and that you are resigned to a lifetime of stifling a smile in public but you would be wrong. Porcelain veneers present the perfect solution to all these problems and are capable of transforming even the most damaged teeth into a beautiful smile. But what exactly are porcelain veneers?
In the most simple sense they are ceramic caps that are fitted and cemented over the top of the existing teeth. This sounds like a very simple procedure and in reality it is, but somehow it seems to do an injustice to the incredible results that are possible with porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are expertly crafted to compliment your mouth and make the teeth look white, even and healthy. They will also benefit your profile and facial structure by replacing any support lost or missing due to the poor condition of your teeth. Modern technology such as Cerec has also revolutionised the way porcelain veneers are made. They can now be manufactured in a matter of minutes, sometimes even while you wait. The results are also incredibly accurate because of the involvement of computer technology.
Porcelain veneers will last between ten and twenty years, depending on how they are looked after. Effective brushing and flossing will prolong their lifespan, just like real teeth, giving you a smile you are happy with for years to come. The veneers can then simply be replaced with a new set in the future, when the time comes. Ask a Bristol dentist for more information about porcelain veneers
Being unhappy with the appearance of your teeth can cause a loss of self-confidence and make it hard for you to smile openly or even look people in the eye. There are many problems that can affect the appearance of the teeth, or perhaps they just developed unevenly or had a natural susceptibility to enamel erosion. But there is hope, using one of the many cosmetic dentistry treatments now widely available.
One of the most spectacular and dependable cosmetic treatments is porcelain veneers. This involves cementing shell-like ceramic caps over the top of the existing teeth to improve the shape, colour and size of the teeth. The veneers will be especially designed for your teeth by a Chepstow dentist according to your own specifications.
Porcelain veneers are particularly useful for patients suffering teeth that are discoloured or stained, unevenly spaced teeth or teeth that are suffering from enamel erosion. Once fixed in place, the veneers will not only look great but they will also add another dimension of protection to your teeth. Porcelain is the material of choice for veneers because not only is it very durable and tough, but it also resembles tooth enamel in both colour and texture, even having a similar translucent quality.
Porcelain veneers are not the cheapest dental treatment but when you experience the possibilities of treatment you will realise that they are definitely worth the price. If well looked after, a set of porcelain veneers will last in excess of twenty years and will help to bring back lost confidence and give you the self-esteem that comes from having a beautiful smile.
