Enhance Your Smile With Porcelain Veneers in Manchester and Leeds

What are veneers?

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that fit over the front of your teeth. This cosmetic treatment is one of the most popular ways to improve your smile. Veneers are commonly used to address those smile imperfections that might be holding you back.

Veneers offer a fast track to a better smile. In general, veneers will result in a more youthful appearance. They can address a wide range of imperfections, including:

• Crooked teeth
• Gaps
• Discolouration
• Cracks and chips
• Thinning enamel

Are veneers safe?

You may have seen the trend for “Turkey teeth” which requires the teeth to be drilled down to stumps to make space for individual crowns. This can result in nerve damage and lifelong pain. This isn’t how we handle smile makeovers.

There is minimal preparation of the underlying tooth structure, which helps to preserve the natural tooth. In some cases, we don’t need to prepare the tooth at all and the porcelain can be added directly to the existing tooth.

Does it hurt to get veneers?

Since there is minimal preparation of the tooth surface, you shouldn’t experience any pain. We will use a small amount of local anaesthetic if required to help ensure you remain comfortable. After the treatment, you might experience some increased sensitivity as you adjust to the veneers, but this should soon pass.

How will I know what they will look like?

The reason we have so much success is down to our planning. Before placing your permanent veneer, we create a wax mockup of your new smile so that you can see what it will look like. This is also an opportunity to request any final changes before we place your final veneer.

How will I know what colour to choose?

For all cosmetic cases, we work closely with our head ceramist to ensure the colour is discussed in detail prior to creating your veneer. Whitening your teeth ahead of the veneer treatment can help you to reach a shade you are happy with, and then we can match the veneer to this whiter shade.

If we are performing a full smile makeover, including the upper and lower teeth, you will be able to select your desired shade. This is where the brightest white shades can be achieved to give you a celebrity smile.

How do I care for my teeth with veneers?

Veneers function as normal teeth and hence they need to be treated with care. You will still need to maintain an excellent cleaning regime at home as well as visiting our therapists to allow for professional cleaning.
