Porcelain Veneers Crowns in Loughton

Veneers and crowns are two quick and highly realistic ways to improve the look of your smile. Both are natural-looking and durable, and are prepared and fitted over two appointments.

Porcelain Veneers

Dental veneers are thin slivers of porcelain that fit over your natural teeth to mask minor imperfections. They are similar in concept to false fingernails.

Veneers are a perfect solution for many cosmetic dental concerns. They can disguise teeth that have been stained by food, drink and habits such as smoking, can cover up minor gaps and can hide minor problems with tooth alignment when orthodontic treatment is not an option. Veneers can also be used to cover up small gaps between the teeth. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.

As well as making your teeth look healthy and natural, veneers require very little preparation of the teeth, meaning they are a quick and easy way to give yourself a smile makeover.

If you opt to have veneers fitted, your dentist will first gather all the information needed to create them, thoroughly examining your teeth and taking photographs and x-rays as necessary. We will also take impressions of your teeth.

The colour of your veneers will be closely matched to the natural colour of your teeth, and they will be made up at our laboratory. When they are ready you will be called back for a second appointment to have them fitted.
