Porcelain Veneers in Essex

Porcelain veneers in Chafford Hundred Dental Care, Drake Road , Grays, Essex have been in use for over 20 years. These products allow for a very non-invasive type of intervention where crooked, damaged or malformed teeth are an issue. Having these devices installed will vary in the amount of preparation required. For some individuals, the veneer may be able to be simply affixed directly to the teeth. In other cases, the tooth may have to be ground down a bit to afford enough space to install the veneer without creating a very large or awkward smile. These devices are long-lasting but are among the more expensive cosmetic dental procedures.

Porcelain veneers are permanently affixed to the teeth and provide the appearance of natural enamel. Once they are installed, they are cleaned and maintained just as are one’s natural teeth. In individuals who have small teeth with significant gaps which cannot be corrected by braces, these devices can offer excellent results and, particularly in the case of small teeth, there may be very little preparation required. The teeth can simply be fitted with the veneers, in some cases, which are affixed by a resin glue that offers a long-term viability for the bonding process.

Porcelain veneers are generally installed across all of the front teeth, even if only one misshapen or damaged tooth needs to be concealed or protected. This is due to the fact that the teeth may appear uneven in size if only one tooth is veneered. This results in the look frequently seen on celebrities—contrary to popular belief, they weren’t universally born with perfect teeth—where the entire smile is flawlessly white and even. Many actors and actresses choose to have this procedure done to enhance their natural smiles and to preserve the look of their teeth as they age.

Porcelain veneers do require some care. They can fracture. There are composite materials available for veneers that may prove a better option for those with very active lifestyles. However, porcelain will prove suitable in the vast majority of cases. The look of the material is essentially indistinguishable from tooth enamel and holds its whiteness very well. These cosmetic devices can last as long as 30 years, in some cases. Some individuals choose to have this procedure done rather than to have crowns or other cosmetic fixes which were formerly the only options on the market for this type of tooth repair and enhancement.
