Veneers
What is a Veneer?
Veneers are thin slices of porcelain. These are precisely made to
fit over the visible surface of front teeth, like a false fingernail
fits over a nail.
Why might I have a Veneer?
Veneers are an ideal way of treating discoloured or unsightly
teeth, closing gaps between front teeth, or repairing chips and cracks.
How are Veneers made?
A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth, usually the
same thickness as the veneer will be. An impression is taken by the
dentist and sent to a dental technician for the veneer to be made in
the laboratory. The veneer is then bonded to the tooth to form a strong
and natural-looking repair. Sometimes a natural colour ‘composite’
material is used instead of porcelain. Composite veneers can be
completed in one visit and involve bonding tooth-coloured filling
material to the front of the tooth. Although these veneers are slightly
more prone to staining and have a shorter life, they are easily
replaced.
Modern Veneers
Lumineers
LUMINEERS® BY CERINATE® are porcelain veneers that offer the painless way to a permanently whiter and perfectly aligned smile.
LUMINEERS are contact lens-thin and are placed over existing teeth
without having to remove painful tooth structure (unlike traditional
veneers). LUMINEERS is the painless, permanent cosmetic solution for
stained, chipped, discoloured or misaligned teeth.
Piyush Patel is qualified to apply these contact lens-thin "smile
shapers" to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming teeth
into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every
individual.
LUMINEERS can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to replace them.
In just a few visits you can have a new brighter smile that is
clinically proven to last over 20 years - and it is completely
reversible since your natural tooth structure is still intact!
- No anaesthetic required — procedure is pain free
