If you’re considering veneers in Manchester or any other type of cosmetic dentistry procedure, it can be daunting knowing what to expect from the process and treatment. At 360 Dental Care, we ensure our veneers Manchester patients are well-informed throughout so that you can make the right decision about your smile. To get you started, here are some of the frequently asked questions we get about our veneer treatments.

What Are Dental Veneers?
Emulating the look of natural teeth, dental veneers are made from a tooth-coloured material which is fixed over the front teeth. This has the effect of changing the appearance of the existing teeth using natural shapes and colours. Imagine them acting like false nails for your front teeth! These thin facings are attached to teeth via a strong dental glue to form a robust bond which lasts for many years.

You can access the different options for veneers when you visit our dental practice. This includes our composite bonding Manchester service, as well as our popular porcelain veneers solutions .

When Are Veneers Used?
Dental veneers can help with a variety of issues to assist you in achieving your ideal smile makeover. This includes providing solutions for those with:

  • Chips in their smile
  • Broken teeth
  • Small gaps between teeth
  • Discolouration
  • Misshapen teeth

It’s important to use a reputable veneers dentist in Manchester to ensure you get as natural results as possible with a new smile that’s been tailored to your needs, including your face, mouth and bite. Veneers are a fantastic solution if your teeth are roughly in the right position, i.e. not extensively crooked.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing Veneers?
There are many different types of cosmetic dental solutions, so it’s important you find the one that’s right for you, taking into account your oral health, goals for your smile and budget.

Benefits of choosing veneers include:

DIFFERENT MATERIALS
With both porcelain and composite veneers available, it gives patients greater flexibility for how they’d like to achieve their perfect smile, considering the costs involved, the number of visits required and long-term results.

NATURAL-LOOKING
If you use an expert dentist, they’ll work with you to achieve natural-looking results. For example, this could involve creating just one veneer to fit over a chipped tooth or tailoring the veneers to achieve your ideal smile.

VERSATILE
Veneers are made to bond to the front surface of the teeth and can change their appearance in a number of ways. This includes achieving a better shape, colour, length or size, giving patients greater flexibility in creating their perfect smile.

LONG-LASTING
When well looked after, veneers are statistically one of the longest-lasting cosmetic dentistry solutions available, thanks to the strength and quality of the materials used and the compatibility of porcelain with gums.

STAIN RESISTANT
If you choose porcelain veneers, they’re highly stain resistant, helping you to maintain their beautiful natural look.

MINIMAL PREPARATION
While you may have seen some negative stories about veneers, if they’re used for suitable cases, then minimal or no preparation is required. This means they’re often preferred over other smile treatments such as crowns.

Composite Veneers vs Porcelain Veneers
Composite veneers are made from a bonding material and are less frequently chosen than porcelain solutions. The benefits of this treatment are that composite veneers cost UK patients less, and they’re applied in just a single visit.

For high-quality, long-term options, many choose to invest in porcelain veneers. They won’t stain as easily, look more natural and will often last for many years if well looked after. However, they are more expensive and require several trips to the dentist for the consultation, making the veneers and finally, fitting them.

When you come in for your smile makeover consultation, your dentist will talk you through the options to think about.

How Do Teeth Veneers Work?
When you come in for a Manchester smile makeover or any cosmetic dentistry treatment, we’ll talk you through the steps involved so that you’re never left wondering about what to expect. The process of achieving your porcelain veneers will need to take place over several visits to ensure they’re made to perfectly fit your front teeth. Steps may include:

  • Adjusting teeth slightly (when appropriate) to ensure the veneers fit well and look natural
  • Taking an impression of your teeth
  • Sending the mould to a dental laboratory
  • Using temporary dental veneers to test the shapes and colour of your new smile
  • Attaching the veneers to the front of your teeth

The veneers will be created by an expert dental technician, who can make them for a smile makeover design (for a new smile) or fit them to suit the existing teeth (e.g., when attaching a single veneer to a tooth).

Can You Get Veneers for One Tooth?
Absolutely. While many people get porcelain veneers in Manchester as part of a complete smile makeover across their existing teeth, you can also get the treatment for just one tooth. The option you choose will depend on a variety of factors, including your aim for your smile, the condition of your existing teeth and the recommendations of your Manchester dentist.

How Long Do Tooth Veneers Last?
Luckily, veneers are easy to maintain. How long veneers last depends on a number of factors, from how well they’re made and fitted to the care and maintenance they experience over the years. Just like natural teeth, you need to ensure you look after them.

Veneers will last longer if:

  • They are bonded to tooth enamel well (i.e. were they appropriately used?)
  • The treatment is carried out to a high standard
  • You practice excellent oral hygiene as recommended by your dentist and hygienist
  • You attend your regular check-ups
  • Any issues are addressed as soon as possible (including tooth grinding solutions)
  • You follow a healthy, low sugar diet

If the porcelain veneers are of a high-quality and you look after them, they could last for over 20 years, which makes them one of the most durable dental treatments available.

Do Veneers Ruin Teeth?
No – not if used correctly.

Unfortunately, veneers have sometimes gained a bad reputation, but this is often because they were chosen for the wrong cases when other dentistry treatments would have been better. Veneers work best and last longer when attached to healthy tooth enamel, meaning the teeth shouldn’t have to be heavily filed down before the treatment. Problems with veneers start when they’re not the most appropriate course of action.

If the teeth are cut back too much, i.e. in the case of crooked teeth, it can remove the enamel. This can lead to issues occurring such as failure of the veneers, pain, sensitivity and unsatisfactory outcomes. Therefore, if you’re considering veneers, you must use a reputable cosmetic dentistry practice. They may even recommend a different solution for your needs, including teeth whitening options.

What Are No Preparation Veneers?
At 360 Dental Care, we use no preparation dental veneers for your smile makeover wherever possible. They’re the best option when it’s suitable for the patient, i.e. when they won’t be too bulky, protrude too much or cause other issues with your gum health. In some cases, small teeth adjustments can help the veneers to look and feel more natural, last longer and remain healthy around the gums.

When you visit our practice, we’ll help you to choose the best option for your smile while considering the implications for your long-term dental and oral health. Rest assured, we’re passionate about minimal or no preparation treatments for their long-term health and beauty benefits.

Are Veneers Painful?
Our dental experts will talk you through the best ways to care for your veneers and how to prevent sensitivity. The actual procedure shouldn’t be painful, but we can discuss this in more detail if you’re worried.

We believe that minimal preparation is the key to ensure long-lasting results that aren’t painful for the patient. Choosing no preparation veneers can help with this. We never sacrifice health for a smile, so will help you make an informed choice about the best options for your dental care.

Can Veneers Fail or Break?
High-quality veneers which are selected for appropriate cases and well cared for should last for many years. However, just like your existing teeth can be subject to trauma, grinding or wear and tear, so can any other materials fitted to them.

That’s why it’s essential to implement a good oral hygiene programme, working with your dentist to address issues such as tooth grinding. If you do suffer a break or chip in a veneer, you’ll need to book an appointment with your dentist to discuss the solutions available.

Can You Get Tooth Veneers on the NHS?
Some types of veneer treatments are available on the NHS. This includes those which are required to enhance your oral health rather than for cosmetic reasons. If the veneers are desired for improving the appearance of your smile, the treatment will need to be funded yourself.

How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost?
How much dental veneers cost will vary from practice to practice and depends on an individual patient’s needs. Factors affecting the price include:

  • How many veneers are required
  • The extent of the smile makeover
  • Treatment stages required
  • The material selected
  • Any dental issues to address
  • The condition of your teeth

When you come in for your smile consultation, once a detailed examination of your teeth has been completed, and a plan is agreed about the next steps, we can give you a clear quote for any treatment offered.
