There are three types of composite veneers available: Direct, Indirect and Prefabricated.

Direct Composite Veneers

Made of filled resins and have a “plastic” appearance.
Crafted in the surgery and fixed directly onto your teeth.
It only takes a single appointment to cosmetically enhance your teeth with direct composite veneers.
State of the art nanotechnology allows us to create beautiful, natural-looking veneers in just one day.

Indirect Composite Veneers

Created in the laboratory.
When they are sent to the lab harder plastics can be used to produce longer-lasting hardened composite veneers.
Look and feel similar to porcelain veneers and are bonded to your teeth on a separate appointment in a similar way.

Prefabricated Veneers

Pre-made and are chosen according to the colour and size required.
Produced from patented nano-hybrid composites using modern laser technology.
This particular version is laser sintered and this allows the composite veneers to retain their attractive appearance and sparkle for longer than normal composite veneers.
Often termed one-day veneers, same day, instant or immediate.

Which veneer type is best for me?

The only way to determine whether a composite or porcelain veneer solution is right for you is to speak with your dentist about your aesthetic goals.

After an in-depth discussion with you regarding your exact requirements, our cosmetic dentists will examine your teeth and jaw.

From this, we will plan a design for you and work out your most appropriate and suitable options.

Your dentist will then discuss all the various advantages and disadvantages as applied to your unique situation.

They will then help guide you to your best solution.

The first initial consultation is free of charge.

Dream smiles in a single appointment

Our advanced technology means we can create the natural shape and colour of a tooth without hassle, in just one appointment.

Immediate Teeth Veneers (sometimes also called Instant Direct Veneers) are used to create beautiful looking teeth in a single visit.

3 methods involved in the creation of immediate veneers:

There are a variety of products including the state-of-the-art Edelweiss or Componeers that are used in this technique to alter the shape form and colour of your teeth. These veneers are laser-sintered creating a polished look that remains in This technique is also a minimally invasive veneer technique which means it is very conservative and preservative in its approach. There are only a handful of dental practices offering this modern veneer technique. It is now possible to work with these prefabricated veneers (made from patented nano-hybrid composite and modern laser technology ). The shapes of these veneers have been made to create the most pleasing appearance after research and study in the shape of beautiful looking teeth. We can transform either two, four or six front, upper or lower teeth with this process.
Using composite as material to create a new smile. This can often be done if the patients have gaps between the teeth, have stained teeth, worn down or short teeth, and with teeth with narrow smiles. Composite veneers cannot be used if the teeth are prominent or there is more than mild crowding of teeth. There a variety of composite materials available that we use depending on the type of look desired. The composite material should be manufactured with nanotechnology to create a better polish to the veneers.
Porcelain veneers can be used if used with a scanner such as iTero, Cerec, Carestream or 3Shape. The veneers can be created chairside by a sophisticated milling machine which creates the veneers to the desired digital design. These veneers can be used in wider scenarios such as teeth with mild crowding or prominence. These are not direct veneers but are classified as indirect veneers.

Call 01992 552115.

The disadvantage of immediate veneers is that the patient is not able to try out the new look before accepting the final look.

A trial of the new look is desired as it allows patients to review and ensure they will be happy with the final look.

As an alternative, a preview is available through digital smile design, wax upon models, or a mock-up and digital imaging that can give an indication of how your new smile will look.

Pain free

Pain-free treatment 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 period after the final fitting.

This is quite normal and nothing to worry about. 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) has been 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, pain-free process

At your first appointment, your dentist will take a 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 also the how-many-veneers that should be considered in achieving your desired smile. On some patients, it may be possible to get some veneers placed at an initial phase and then to have the possibility of additional veneers in the future.

Minimum or no preparation

Tooth Preparation

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

Prices

Simple, transparent pricing

A few factors will affect the total cost of your cosmetic veneers:

The type of material used – Porcelain (Ultrathin or Lumineers) are more expensive than composite resin veneers.
The number of veneers being applied – veneers are priced per tooth and so the more you have, the higher the cost.
Your dental health – if you require treatment for other dental issues such as tooth decay or gum disease before veneers can be fitted then this will be included in the total cost of your dentistry work. More.
