Porcelain veneers for a Hollywood smile makeover
With advances in dental technology, the last few decades have seen an increase in demand for cosmetic dentistry and people are looking for discreet and convenient ways to address the aesthetic appearance of their smiles. If you suffer from issues affecting the appearance of your teeth, then you should speak to Dr Bobby Chhoker to find out about getting porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are extremely versatile, among many other things they can help address cracks in your teeth, chips in your teeth, as well as broken and discoloured teeth which do not respond to whitening. They can completely transform a smile in a comparatively short period of time.
A short history of porcelain veneers
The last two decades have seen a surge in the popularity of porcelain veneers among dentists and patients alike. They were originally introduced over 100 years ago with make-up artists using false fronts on the teeth of actors and actresses to perfect their smiles.
Since then there has been much research and development in the field of dental veneers and the 1980s saw the introduction and establishment of this treatment as we know it now. Since then it has become easier and more convenient to achieve the flawless smiles that we see flashed across our screens and on social media.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ceramic shells that cover the whole surface of your teeth, resulting in an immediate transformation of your smile. They are individually tailored using three-dimensional imaging systems to ensure accuracy and precision for comfort and a perfect fit. Ceramic is strong and therefore resembles your natural enamel and its light-reflecting properties give it a beautiful shine, making it a perfect choice for cosmetic improvement of your teeth.
There may be many issues with your smile that you wish to address, and by discussing your plans with Dr Bobby Chhoker you will have an individually tailored treatment plan in place, which will form your smile makeover and transform your appearance for you.
To be eligible for porcelain veneers it is important that you visit the dentist on a regular basis and that your teeth and gums are clean and strong. Another key factor is that it is very important that your teeth have a sufficient layer of healthy enamel, because some of this may need to be removed before your porcelain veneers can be attached successfully.
Porcelain veneers may not be suitable for you if you suffer from underlying dental issues such as gum disease, tooth decay or root canal infections. To be eligible for a smile makeover it is important that these issues are treated successfully prior to any cosmetic dentistry and the advantage of this is that it also has excellent implications for your future dental health. To address these issues we can put together an individual treatment plan which combines orthodontic procedures, dental implants, crowns and porcelain veneers to provide beautiful smiles and comprehensive cosmetic results.
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
