A dental veneer is a thin, custom-crafted, tooth-coloured shell designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth. Veneers are an excellent choice for anyone looking to correct issues such as discolouration, minor misalignment, gaps, or unevenly shaped teeth.
Do you ever feel self-conscious about your smile? If so, veneers might be the ideal long-term solution. At Edlington Dental in Doncaster, we offer high-quality, expertly crafted veneers to help you achieve a confident, radiant smile.
Types of Veneers
At Edlington Dental in Doncaster, we offer two popular types of veneers, each designed to suit different needs and budgets:
✔ Porcelain Veneers – These offer a highly aesthetic, durable, and stain-resistant solution. Custom-made in a dental lab, they typically require two or more visits.
✔ Composite Veneers – A more affordable alternative, composite veneers provide a natural look and can often be completed in just one appointment.
Both options deliver dramatic smile transformations, and during your consultation, our dental experts will help you decide which veneer type is best for you.
Who Can Benefit from Veneers?
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution that can address a variety of dental concerns, including:
✔ Mildly misaligned teeth
✔ Gaps between teeth
✔ Severely stained or discoloured teeth
✔ Chipped or cracked teeth
✔ Worn-down or short teeth
✔ Misshapen or uneven teeth
If you have severely misaligned teeth, bite issues, or significant damage, alternative treatments such as orthodontics or dental crowns may be recommended. At Edlington Dental in Doncaster, we offer comprehensive smile assessments to determine the best approach for your unique needs.
The Veneer Process: What to Expect
If you choose to get veneers at Edlington Dental in Doncaster, here’s a step-by-step look at the process:
1. Consultation & Smile Evaluation
Your first step is a thorough consultation, where our dentist will assess your dental health and discuss your aesthetic goals. We’ll determine whether veneers are the best solution for you.
2. Tooth Preparation
To ensure a natural and comfortable fit, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of your teeth. This step is minimally invasive, and local anaesthesia is only used if needed for added comfort.
3. Impressions & Shade Matching
✔ We take precise impressions (either digitally or manually) to create a custom model of your teeth.
✔ A shade guide is used to match your veneers perfectly to your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural look.
4. Temporary Veneers (If Needed)
✔ If you choose porcelain veneers, your custom restorations will be fabricated in a dental lab (usually taking about two weeks).
✔ In the meantime, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth until your final veneers are ready.
5. Veneer Bonding & Finishing Touches
Once your custom veneers are ready, we will:
✔ Check the fit, colour, and shape to ensure they are perfectly crafted for your smile.
✔ Etch the tooth surface for a stronger bond.
✔ Use a specialised dental adhesive to permanently attach the veneers.
✔ Polish and refine your new smile for a flawless, natural-looking finish.
At Edlington Dental in Doncaster, we take great care to ensure your veneers look and feel completely natural while enhancing the beauty and function of your teeth.
Caring for Your Veneers
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your veneers, follow these simple aftercare tips:
🦷 Practice Good Oral Hygiene – Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss regularly, and use a non-abrasive toothpaste to maintain your veneers.
☕ Minimise Staining Foods & Drinks – While porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant, excessive exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco can lead to discolouration over time.
🦷 Regular Dental Check-Ups – Visit Edlington Dental in Doncaster for routine exams and cleanings to keep your veneers and natural teeth in top condition.
🚫 Avoid Biting Hard Objects – Avoid habits such as biting nails, chewing ice, or using your teeth to open packaging, as this can damage veneers.
😴 Wear a Mouthguard If Necessary – If you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports, a custom-fitted mouthguard can protect your veneers from damage.
By following these simple care guidelines, your veneers can last 10–15 years or more!
