It’s time to get that new smile feel!

At Edlington Dental Care in Doncaster, we offer top-quality dental veneers to help you achieve a brighter, more balanced smile. Dental veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells bonded to the front surface of teeth, designed to improve their appearance. They address cosmetic concerns such as chipped, broken, discoloured, or undersized teeth.

Types of Dental Veneers

At Edlington Dental Care, our dental veneers are crafted from either porcelain or resin-composite materials, ensuring a natural and long-lasting appearance. You may choose a single veneer to repair a damaged tooth or multiple veneers to create a perfectly symmetrical smile. Typically, veneers are applied to the upper front eight teeth for the best aesthetic result.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are made to closely resemble natural teeth. At Edlington Dental Care, our skilled dentists will gently shape your teeth before taking an impression to create a precise mould. This mould is sent to a lab to fabricate the custom veneer. Some of our dentists use advanced CAD/CAM technology to design and produce veneers in-house, allowing for faster application.

Composite Resin Veneers

Composite resin veneers are another excellent choice, involving minimal tooth preparation. Your dentist at Edlington Dental Care will etch the tooth surface and apply the resin in thin layers, curing it with a special light to ensure a strong bond. This method allows for a quicker and less invasive procedure.

No-Prep Veneers

No-prep veneers, including brands like Lumineers and Vivaneers, require minimal alteration of your natural teeth. These veneers are less invasive and often do not require local anaesthesia or temporary veneers, making the process more comfortable.

Choosing the Right Veneers

Selecting the most suitable veneer involves considering factors such as cost, procedure duration, appearance, longevity, and your dentist’s recommendations. Our team at Edlington Dental Care will assist you in making the best choice for your needs.

Cost of Veneers

The cost of veneers varies based on the type, brand, and expertise of your dentist. At Edlington Dental Care, we offer competitive pricing and thorough consultations to help you make an informed decision. For a more budget-friendly option, consider our supervised dentistry students who provide high-quality care at reduced rates.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

Veneers provide numerous benefits, including transforming your smile by addressing:

• Chipped or broken teeth
• Severe discolouration or uneven colouring
• Gaps between teeth
• Small or misshapen teeth

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last over a decade, making them a valuable investment in your dental health and confidence.

Preparation and Application Process

Before getting veneers, you’ll have a consultation at Edlington Dental Care to discuss your goals and options. If needed, braces might be recommended to correct misaligned teeth before veneer application. X-rays will be taken to evaluate your dental health, checking for issues like decay or gum disease that need to be addressed first.

At your next appointment, your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to take precise molds. These are sent to the lab to create your custom veneers. Once ready, your dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth and use a grinding tool to prepare them for bonding. The veneers are then cemented to your teeth with a special adhesive and cured with ultraviolet light.

Veneers vs. Crowns and Implants

While veneers only cover the front surface of the tooth, crowns encase the entire tooth and require more tooth reduction. Implants replace missing teeth entirely and involve a more complex procedure. Veneers are a less invasive option, ideal for enhancing the appearance of natural teeth.

Caring for Your Veneers

After your veneers are placed, you can resume normal activities immediately. You might notice some rough spots initially, but these will smooth out with regular eating and brushing. Veneers typically last between 10 to 20 years with proper care, such as avoiding hard objects, using back teeth for chewing hard foods, and wearing a mouthguard if you grind your teeth.
