Dental Veneers at Dental Smiles Chelmsford
Dental Veneers
Veneers are a layer of thin porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. They are used to cover cosmetic issues with your front teeth such as tooth position, shape or colour.
Your Dental Veneers Journey
1. Consultation
The first step on your treatment journey with Dental Smiles Chelmsford is an in-depth consultation. It helps us to assess your smile, allows us to look over your dental history, and ensures you can discuss your dental veneers in advance.
2. Treatment
A small amount of tooth preparation is needed so that is the correct shape for the veneer but this is often as minimal as is possible. It is also possible to have composite resin veneers and these are often bonded directly to the tooth surface with often no or little tooth preparation. An impression of the tooth is taken to create the veneer and whilst the veneer is being expertly created in the laboratory, a temporary veneer is placed to prevent sensitivity. In the next stage of treatment, the veneers are bonded to the teeth. An anaesthetic is administered to help manage any discomfort.
3. Aftercare
We are committed to dental excellence – so your dental care doesn’t end when we put down our tools. With veneers it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular check-ups, and avoid chewing hard foods to prevent damage to the veneers. Finally, some dentists recommend wearing a mouthguard at night, to prevent any clenching or grinding during sleep, as well as during contact sports.

What Conditions Can Veneers Treat?
Dental veneers are typically used to disguise cosmetic flaws, often simultaneously, such as:
Severe intrinsic discolouration
Chipped, gapped, or cracked teeth
Slightly crooked teeth
Benefits of Porcelains Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a wafer thin ceramic shell that is cemented to the front of your teeth. The dental veneers are fabricated off-site using impressions of your mouth to ensure a custom fit.
The ultra-thin construction ensures they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. A small amount of enamel is shaved off your tooth during the treatment to accommodate the veneer shell. Porcelain veneers also have a similar luminosity to your natural teeth, ensuring a realistic look. The porcelain is resistant to staining and chips and lasts longer than composite veneers.
Benefits of Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are created using acrylic resin applied in thin layers and hardened using a blue curing light. The veneers are then shaped and polished to mimic your natural smile.
Composite veneers are crafted in the dentist’s chair, so you can restore the look of your smile in a single session, and require almost no tooth preparation. They are also the most affordable type of veneers and can last from 5 to 10 years.
