What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth.

This treatment requires little to no anaesthesia and instantly improves your smile. Veneers in Glasgow can be used to correct cosmetic issues such as stains, discolouration, and everyday wear and tear. Even smiles with minor orthodontic problems like small gaps in between teeth and misshapen teeth can be improved with veneers.

Are dental veneers Glasgow right for me?

Because every mouth is different, your dentist can assess if porcelain veneers are the best option to enhance your smile. Veneers in Glasgow can improve your appearance by:

• Covering stained or discoloured teeth
• Closing gaps between teeth
• Lengthening or shortening uneven teeth
• Hiding worn enamel
• Repairing minor chips or cracks
• Reshaping misshapen teeth

Before you get veneers, your teeth and gums should be healthy and strong, as veneers require a stable foundation for them to be effective.

So, if you’re suffering from tooth decay or gum disease, for example, it’s important that you address these issues first.

What happens during the veneers procedure?

Once you’ve met with our dentists and we’ve determined whether or not porcelain veneers are right for you, they’ll be fitted in an efficient, three-step process.

First, your dentist will prep your natural teeth, by removing about half a millimetre of enamel from the surface so the veneers bond correctly and to allow for the added thickness of the veneer.

Then, an impression of your teeth will be taken so your veneers can be fabricated. This can take one to two weeks, but in the meantime, your dentist will send you away with temporary veneers so that you can get a feel for your new smile.

Finally, your permanent veneers will be attached. During this appointment, your dentist will place the veneers on the teeth and check the shade before cementing them into place and curing them with a dental light.

How much do porcelain veneers cost in Glasgow?

The cost of dental veneers in Glasgow varies, and depends on several different factors – from the number of veneers you need to any additional treatments that need to be carried out beforehand.

Before treatment commences, our dentists will be sure to walk you through all the associated costs and discuss payment or alternative treatment options to see what suits you best.

How long do veneers in Glasgow last?

With proper care, you can expect your veneers to last for 10-15 years. To extend the lifespan of your veneers, you should:

• Avoid biting into hard foods
• Wear a protective appliance at night if you grind your teeth
• Limit your exposure to dark-coloured drinks and food to prevent staining.
