Porcelain Veneers
A Brighter, Natural-Looking Smile with Porcelain Veneers
If you’re looking to enhance your smile and restore confidence, porcelain veneers in Weston may be the perfect solution. At Manor Dental Practice, we provide high-quality, custom-made veneers that can transform chipped, stained, or uneven teeth into a smooth, bright, and natural-looking smile. This minimally invasive treatment offers long-lasting cosmetic results with minimal discomfort.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells made from tooth-coloured porcelain that are carefully bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, worn, chipped, misaligned, or unevenly spaced. Each veneer is bespoke – crafted to suit your individual tooth shape, colour, and smile goals – ensuring a result that looks natural and feels comfortable.
Porcelain is a strong and stain-resistant material that mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, giving your smile a healthy, lifelike finish.
Benefits and Suitability
Porcelain veneers can offer several aesthetic and functional benefits, including:
- Enhancing the shape, size, and colour of teeth
- Concealing small gaps, chips, or cracks
- Improving symmetry and alignment
- Providing a long-lasting, stain-resistant surface
You may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers in Weston if you have generally healthy teeth and gums but wish to address cosmetic concerns. Veneers are ideal for those seeking a confident smile without undergoing more extensive orthodontic or restorative treatments.
At Manor Dental Practice, your dentist will always assess your oral health and discuss whether veneers are the most suitable option for you.
The Porcelain Veneer Treatment Process
- Initial Consultation – Your journey begins with a friendly discussion about your smile goals and an examination of your teeth and gums.
- Treatment Planning – We’ll create a bespoke treatment plan and show you a preview of your new smile.
- Tooth Preparation – A very small amount of enamel (usually less than 1mm) is removed from the tooth surface to make room for the veneer.
- Impressions and Temporary Veneers – We take precise impressions and may fit temporary veneers while your permanent ones are crafted.
- Fitting the Veneers – Once ready, your custom veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive, ensuring a perfect fit and natural look.
The procedure is usually comfortable, and a local anaesthetic can be used if needed.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Porcelain veneers are easy to look after. Simply maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine check-ups at Manor Dental Practice. Avoid biting hard objects and consider wearing a mouthguard if you grind your teeth. With proper care, veneers can last for many years.
