PORCELAIN VENEERS PUTNEY

Veneers are a quick way to get the smile you’ve always wanted, either as a stand-alone treatment or as part of a complete smile makeover that may include other treatments such as dental implants or orthodontics.

With this cosmetic dentistry treatment, thin, tooth-coloured shells that are made of porcelain or resin (composite) materials are attached to the front of the teeth.

Dental veneers are great for correcting cosmetic issues such as chipped, cracked, stained, broken or uneven teeth. They also work well when a tooth is smaller than your other teeth.

They can be placed over a single tooth but the majority of people tend to opt for 6 to 8 veneers across the top teeth which are the most visible when you smile.

Both composite and porcelain veneers require either zero or minimal preparation and each type has its own advantages.

If you’d like to find out if veneers would be a good option for you, please feel free to contact us and we can walk you through the treatment steps and answer any questions you may have.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PORCELAIN VENEERS

What exactly are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers, sometimes referred to as dental veneers or ceramic veneers, are very thin shells crafted from a high-quality, tooth-coloured material. They are meticulously designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, effectively enhancing your smile’s appearance.

What issues can porcelain veneers address?

These aesthetic shells can be used to rectify various dental concerns such as discoloured, chipped, or misshapen teeth. They can also be employed to fill gaps between teeth, correct mild alignment issues, or provide a more uniform look in terms of tooth shape and size.

Are they long-lasting?

With proper oral care, porcelain veneers can last for a decade or more. They are resistant to stains and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, ensuring a sustained aesthetic appeal.

What is the process of getting porcelain veneers?

The process typically involves an initial consultation at Putney Hill Dental, during which we assess your oral health and discuss your aesthetic goals. We then prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel and take impressions to custom-make your veneers. On your next visit, we bond the veneers to your teeth, providing you with an instant smile makeover.

Are porcelain veneers safe?

Yes, porcelain veneers are safe and have been used in cosmetic dentistry for many years. They are designed to be comfortable and natural-looking, providing a reliable solution for enhancing your smile.

Are veneers easy to maintain?

Maintaining your veneers is straightforward and much like caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will help ensure their longevity and keep your smile looking its best.

Can veneers be removed?

Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a small amount of tooth enamel is removed during the process. While they can technically be removed, the underlying tooth would need to be re-covered with a new veneer or similar restoration to protect it.

Do veneers look natural?

Absolutely. One of the major advantages of porcelain veneers is their natural appearance. They mimic the translucency of real teeth, and we match them to the colour of your surrounding teeth, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your smile.

TESTIMONIALS

“Outstanding service provided by Dr Collie Moran and his team. I had a ceramic crown and it has been done perfectly and efficiently. Barbara and Raymond are also very professional and customer service oriented. It’s been a long time I didn’t feel so comfortable in a dental practice and I’d definitely come back now regularly. You can trust them and always find answers to all your questions and doubts about the treatment and the products they use.”

“It was with some intrepidation that I booked at a new dentist, I needn’t have worried however. From the moment I arrive, I’m made to feel relaxed and welcome by Ray at the front desk. The care provided is excellent. Having now had a couple of visits I would certainly recommend Dr Britto and Putney Hill Dental to anyone looking for a dentist – excellent all round.”

“Wonderful, friendly, professional service, a very big thank you to Dr Moran and his staff. I was made to feel very comfortable. I completely trust his judgement and would recommend the dental practice to my family and friends without any doubt. Thanks again!”

“A first class dental practice. Dr Collie Moran has carried out extensive work on my teeth, including crowns and a wisdom tooth extraction and is always highly professional and diligent in what he does. One of the most important factors for me is that I completely trust Collie’s judgement. He always explains dental options to you in a considered and balanced manner. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this practice to others – in fact, I consider myself very fortunate to have this quality of dental practice available to me locally. Collie is also well supported by an excellent team so there is much strength in depth at this practice. Highly recommended.”

“Really recommend this practice – the hygienist gave me a thorough clean and now my teeth are sparkling! I had some staining from drinking too many cuppas and she really took the time to make sure it was all gone. She also gave me some good tips for taking care of my teeth. Raymond on the desk was also lovely and welcoming! Great experience.”

“I have been a patient of Collie’s for around eighteen years and I can’t recommend him more highly. He is super with nervous patients and very reassuring. I have had various treatments over the years and he is always gentle and skillful. Barbara is an excellent hygienist too.”

“Collie and Barbara are both gentle and super efficient. Been a patient for two years now and always happy with my service. Sometimes a struggle to get in so book early but a testament to a great job. Both give really good advice and suggestions without being pushy.”
