What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are a popular dental procedure designed to enhance the appearance of teeth by altering their shape, color, and even position. They involve a thin layer of durable ceramic material that is applied to the front surface of the teeth.
Veneers are custom-made for each patient by a dental laboratory, ensuring a perfect fit, and then they are bonded to the teeth using a specialized adhesive system.
Is it right for me?
Veneers are primarily a cosmetic treatment. However, they can also be beneficial in addressing various dental aesthetic concerns. Some common indications for veneers include:
-Teeth with structural loss due to decay
-Teeth damaged by trauma
-Diastema (gaps between teeth)
-Missing teeth (congenital or extracted)
-Teeth with discoloration from substances like coffee, red wine, dark beverages, tobacco, etc.
-Teeth with irregularities in shape, position, or size
-Occlusal deficiencies (particularly in short teeth)
-Achieving a harmonious bite with balanced contact points

Composites vs. Porcelain Veneers
Let’s explore the pros and cons of each type of veneers:
Composite veneers:
-Composite veneers offer a quicker and less invasive alternative to porcelain veneers since it is not necessary to remove a lot of tooth enamel to be placed.
-They can be repaired or reshaped easily and are a more affordable option.
-While composite veneers can provide good aesthetic results (when performed with the right materials), they may not be as durable or long-lasting as porcelain veneers.
-They require regular maintenance to prevent cracking or staining, which is why they may not be suitable for patients with lifestyle habits like smoking and drinking staining beverages (coffee, tea, or wine), and those who have poor dental care habits, such as not brushing their teeth regularly, or neglecting regular dental check-ups.
Porcelain veneers:
-High aesthetic properties: Porcelain veneers are renowned for their aesthetic appeal since they are crafted from a ceramic material that closely mimics the natural look of teeth.
-Resistance and durability properties: They are highly resistant to fractures, wear, and stains. They are also impervious to acid and chemical attacks, ensuring long-lasting results.
-Stain-resistant: Porcelain veneers are non-porous, making them virtually resistant to stains from beverages like coffee, tea, and even tobacco.
-Minimal dental preparation: Thanks to advancements in adhesive technology, porcelain veneers now require minimal tooth preparation. Which also translates into a faster procedure.
-Structural reinforcement: Veneers can strengthen weakened teeth, providing support in cases of trauma or extensive decay.
-Bite correction: They can also help to correct occlusal deficiencies, such as short teeth or misaligned teeth, improving both function and aesthetics.

Benefits
Porcelain veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth, contributing to a more balanced and harmonious facial aesthetic. But beyond their aesthetic benefits, veneers can also improve your overall oral health and well-being:
By ensuring proper contact between your upper and lower teeth, veneers can help to restore a healthy bite and improve your chewing function.
Besides transforming your smile this treatment can also transform your overall well-being since a beautiful and healthy smile can boost your self-esteem and confidence, positively impacting your emotional and mental health.
Costs
The cost of porcelain veneers can vary depending on several factors, including the number of teeth being treated, but the average cost per veneer can range from £500 to £1,500. It is worth mentioning that although the price of composite veneers is much lower than that of porcelain veneers, it is ideal to see it as a long-term investment for our oral health. Porcelain veneers offer far superior aesthetic results and have a much longer life span (approximately 10 to 15 years).

Process
To help you understand the procedure, here is a breakdown of the key steps:
Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth, considering factors like their shape, size, and the amount of healthy tooth tissue remaining. They will also analyse your facial features to ensure the shape and length of veneers that will complement your smile.
Before the procedure begins your teeth and gums must be in excellent health. This means they should be free from decay, inflammation, and tartar build up.
First, the dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surfaces of your teeth to make room for the veneer and bonding material. Next, they will take an impression of your teeth that will be used by the lab technician to create the custom porcelain veneers. They will also perform a shade test to determine the perfect color match.
While your permanent veneers are being fabricated, the dentist may place temporary veneers on your teeth to protect them (and also to give you a nice smile during the waiting time).
Once the final veneers are ready, the dentist will carefully check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Finally, they will bond the veneers to your teeth with a special dental adhesive and check that the bite is balanced and that your teeth make proper contact.
