Do Veneers Mess Up Your Teeth?

Any treatment we do is always aimed at protecting your teeth from any harm and preventing any future damage from occurring. But can veneers be detrimental to your oral health?

Can Veneers Damage Teeth & Gums?

If veneer treatment is done well, following the proper protocols and standards, then there should be no reason to fear it.

Once upon a time, porcelain had to be of a certain thickness otherwise there would be an increased risk of breakage.

So, to allow for the thickness of porcelain either the teeth ended up looking very thick or we had to cut into the teeth to make space for the porcelain.

This treatment was then reserved for people who understood this situation.

However, nowadays, thanks to innovative technologies we have been able to compress porcelain in ingenious ways that we no longer need to do as much tooth preparation as before.

With treatments like Ultrathin Veneers we have managed to compress porcelain in such a way so that we can create very thin (contact lens-thin) veneers.

We fully understand that the more dentistry you have done, the weaker your teeth become.

For this reason, we take much time in planning, assessing and analysing the treatment options we discuss with you will provide long-term stability and harmony to your mouth.

Strong Foundations Make All The Difference

We also base all our work on a healthy foundation and help you to sustain that condition in your mouth.

On top of this, when we do the actual treatment, it is in the most conservative and preservative way possible, using clinically proven techniques and superior materials.

The bonding materials and strengths used to bond veneers onto your teeth are innovative, cutting edge, and extremely strong.

This ensures long-lasting, comfortable treatment that is also cost-effective for you.

The Type of Veneer Matters

If porcelain veneers are carried out by inexperienced hands (both the dentist and the laboratory technician), you can end up with increased tooth preparation and inferior quality of veneers.

This introduces weaknesses in the veneers, the veneer bonding to the teeth and the actual teeth.

Subsequently, you may need these veneers replaced or further work done to the teeth introducing further weaknesses.

It is much better for teeth that we look very carefully and plan with future conservation in mind.

Another aspect that ensures the success of veneers is the proper treatment selection.

There are now so many different types of veneers, materials and brands on the market that it is essential to select that treatment which is the most compatible for the patient.

This ensures long-lasting treatment. At the Perfect Smile, we will ensure you choose the right veneers for your smile.

For this reason, a proper comprehensive assessment is necessary to establish the correct treatment plan customised for you.

“I used to be a very nervous patient and have always been unhappy with my smile. However, I have seen Dr. Doshi’s work and I have so much confidence in him. Now, after having a new smile not only am I more confident but I am able to share my experience and story with everybody else.”

– Louise Holland

Choose The Right Cosmetic Dentist

Another critical point is that dentists that are highly trained, skilled and knowledgeable in veneer treatment carry out the treatment.

You will be pleased to know that all our dentists have been doing these treatments for many years.

In fact, all of them are recognized as eminent leaders in the field of aesthetic dentistry through their teaching and training of other dentists.

They are also members of the largest aesthetic organization in the industry called the British Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry.

Our dentists are either past presidents, committee members or on the Board of Directors. Reasons to have veneers.

These are contact lens-thin veneers with beautiful aesthetics and are extremely strong when bonded to.

We also always provide conservative options such as Short-term Adult Orthodontics, which align the teeth correctly before any veneer treatment is considered.

All these choices minimize any damage to teeth. It is imperative that if you are considering this type of treatment, you must ensure that the correct treatment planning is carried out that is entirely compatible with your situation.

This means that before selecting any treatment, you must have a comprehensive, detailed assessment. Many of our patients also find it useful to have a complimentary consultation beforehand to get an idea of the types of treatment available at one of our consulting rooms in London or Hertfordshire.

Pain-free Treatments

No drilling or injections

Veneers are usually not painful whilst you are having the treatment.

However, some have reported slight sensitivity during the settling down after the final fitting – this is quite normal and nothing to worry over. It usually only lasts for a few days and very soon after subsidies. More.

The sensitivity is due to the bonding process where an inorganic substance (the veneer) bonded to an organic component (your tooth).

In complex cases, involving a large amount of treatment, you may experience a little uncomfortableness while your teeth settle down.
