Temporary veneers

Temporary Veneers or Hand Crafted Trial Smiles
Temporary veneers (also known as a trial smile) give you the opportunity to see a preview of how you would like your teeth to ultimately look.
The dentist will prepare your teeth, then place this temporary fixture on to give you the opportunity to “try-out” your new smile before the final veneers are fitted.
Trial Smiles provide the additional benefit that your teeth are protected while your permanent veneers are being made in the dental laboratory.
SMILE DESIGNS
These are completely removable temporary veneers that allow you to see the type of smile that could work for you before you commit to any treatment choice.
It also allows for any adjustments to be made after the initial smile design treatment planning and before your permanent veneers are fitted.
Benefits of a Trial Smile
Patient Advantage
- The patient gets to “try-out” the new smile for a few weeks before the final construction.
- A unique opportunity for our patients to be able to contribute to the final aesthetics of the new smile. They can see if their new smile is comfortable and how they had envisioned it to be.
- On a Trial-Smile review appointment subsequent to the preparation appointment the patient is able to discuss their exact requirements using the Trial Smile on their teeth as a point of reference.
- This allows for clearer communication and removes any ambiguity as to how the final smile will look. The patient always remains in total control of their treatment.
Dentist Advantage
Our cosmetic dentists are able to verify that the teeth will remain stable in the patient’s mouth.
This is critical for long-term success.
It also gives the dentists invaluable information on how the new smile will function to make sure that it is in harmony with all the teeth without putting too much pressure on individual teeth and muscles.
It is very important that the final bite is as he had planned and pre-designed.
We also use the Trial Smile to establish the correct characteristics of the individual teeth and final cosmetic smile such as depth of colour, light reflective ability, contours and surface lustre.
This refinement process enables successful results.

- We can discuss payment plans at both the Hertfordshire & the London clinic
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.
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.
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.
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.
