At your first appointment, your dentist will look at the general health of your teeth and gums, your bite and understand your goals for your smile; and then see if any fundamental issues need addressing before cosmetic veneer work can begin. We will also discuss the type of veneers that may be suitable and how many veneers you’ll likely need to achieve your desired smile. In some patients, it may be possible to get some veneers placed at an initial phase and then have the possibility of additional shells in the future. More.

Ultrathin Veneers

Ultrathin veneers allow you to achieve a stunning new smile with little tooth preparation.

Beautiful and Natural Ultrathin Veneers

Advantages | Cost | No drilling | Approach

Ultrathin veneers are often 0.2 – 0.4mm thick yet strong, long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing.

We can custom create the smile you want for your front teeth in combination with Smile2SuitU – this is a type of cosmetic dentistry without drilling, so it is pain-free and often less anxiety-inducing for some individuals.

A drive for innovations and cutting-edge technology (like teeth implants) has allowed this less invasive dentistry approach.

At The Perfect Smile Studios, we have a team of expert dental staff and technicians on hand to ensure the veneer treatment process runs smoothly from manufacturing to the final fitting.

How Do Ultrathin Veneers Differ?

This brand of veneers is a trendy choice amongst our patients because of the quick and easy approach to cosmetic enhancements – the application requires minimal preparation of the teeth – very little enamel and tooth tissue is removed to achieve fantastic results.

Another advantage is that the treatment is durable because it does not weaken the internal structure and ensures the existing tooth remains intact.

Hence, this particular cosmetic treatment must be carried out by highly recommended and skilled clinicians only, like Dr Sam Jethwa.

Our cosmetic specialist dentists in Hertfordshire have produced stunning results using Ultrathin Veneers and are well versed in clinical techniques.

Alternative brands include Lumineers (no drilling), Durathin (minimal shaving) and porcelain (rated the best).

How Are They Made?

Ultrathin is made from IPS e.max lithium disilicate.
They can have 500 MPa strength and 2.0 – 2.5 MPa∙m1/2 fracture toughness – this means that they can be made paper-thin yet still have the strength to work with the bite forces generated in the mouth.

This particular type of veneer can be used as part of the Emax system, where if used in combination with other treatments such as a crown, bridge or an implant, we can ensure a great colour match.

This is because Emax is layering porcelain that can be used for all types of porcelain restorations, thus creating the exact and uniform shade, texture and lustre for the entire smile.

Previous to Emax, the ability to create thin, strong, colour-matched, highly aesthetic veneers was challenging because the porcelain of choice was feldspathic.

The thickness of these veneers had to be larger and ranged from 0.5mm to 0.7mm.

The manufacturing process of UltraThin Veneers can be challenging and requires a skilled and experienced ceramist technician to create them.

Benefits of Ultrathin Veneers:

Non-invasive treatment: requires little tooth preparation beforehand, so teeth are not weakened.
Drill-free: Drills are only used sparingly to help with bonding.
Customised, patient-specific smile: Veneers can be used along with other subtle changes in your smile or a complete set of veneers and create a more extreme smile makeover. All treatments will leave you with a beautiful straight smile.
Impressive cosmetic results: We use porcelain material to create beautiful aesthetic results. Ultrathin veneers are a unique and popular cosmetic dentistry solution.
Does not increase teeth sensitivity: Since hardly any enamel is removed, you are less likely to experience sensitivity in your teeth post-treatment.

Achieving Ultrathin Veneers Requires Three Appointments:

1) Teeth Preparation and Creation of a Trial Smile:

Ultrathin veneers were designed with minimal preparation in mind.
A little roughening of the enamel surface is required to make a better bonding surface when the ultra-high gloss of our natural enamel has been removed.
Otherwise, we are simply relying on the micromechanical retention of the etching agent during the bonding procedure.
Further altering the shape and size of the tooth may become necessary to provide the best aesthetics.
Once the dentists prepare the teeth, they will take various records to allow the ceramist in the laboratory to create the Ultrathin veneers.
These records can include impressions (moulds) of your teeth to create the working model, bite records to assimilate the way you chew and photographs to capture your facial measurements.
Once this has been done, the dentist will then fit a Trial Smile to your teeth – this will be based upon your specific needs and the dentist’s smile design for your treatment.
We will focus primarily on what you are looking for on the aesthetic side.

2) Verify That You Are Happy With Your Final Smile:

3) Fitting and Final Review:

You will have your new veneers fitted and bonded to your teeth.
The dentist will first remove the trial smile with the utmost care to not disturb the underlying tooth and then prepare the tooth for a strong bonding – this involves using the latest state-of-the-art bonding agents.
New veneers are then individually bonded to each tooth.
We recommend a review appointment after a few weeks.

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.

Treatment Plan

Fast, simple process

At your first appointment, your dentist will look at the general health of your teeth and gums, your bite and understand your goals for your smile; and then see if any fundamental issues need addressing before cosmetic veneer work can begin.
We will also discuss the type of veneers that may be suitable and how many veneers you’ll likely need to achieve your desired smile. In some patients, it may be possible to get some veneers placed at an initial phase and then have the possibility of additional shells in the future.

Minimal or No Preparation

Tooth etching for veneers

We will always plan your new smile before any treatment begins. We aim to provide you with the most conservative and preservative dentistry.
To prevent excessive tooth preparation, we design your new smile in a way that minimises tooth preparation. We also provide options to have orthodontic or teeth straightening treatment carried out before any cosmetic veneer work starts.
Your teeth are already well aligned, so very minimal or hardly any tooth preparation becomes necessary.
If you are concerned, we advise that you speak to us in your complimentary consultation. We will be able to provide you with suitable solutions. More.
