Composite Veneers in Essex

Composite Veneers in Essex

Composite veneers can be used to improve the colour, shape, size and texture of teeth to make them more attractive. They can be used to fix minor chips and cracks in teeth. They are made from resin which is bonded directly to teeth and sculpted to the desired shape and finish under the hands of an experienced cosmetic dentist.

It takes one visit to complete. They require little if any tooth reduction (drilling) and the treatment can be completed in a single visit. However unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers can be prone to staining and may not last as long.

What are composite veneers used for?

Composite veneers can be used for treating a wide range of cosmetic dental problems in the same way as porcelain veneers are used. Common problems include:

Crooked teeth – you can use composite veneers after orthodontic treatment with something like the Inman Aligner, 6 month smiles or smilelign to complete any in perfections. Or composite veneers can be placed directly to hide mildly crooked teeth like porcelain veneers.

Discoloured teeth - When there are stains, white patches, and/or discolouration of the teeth which cannot be treated with a dental clean or teeth whitening alone, then composite veneers are an ideal solution.

Damaged teeth - When your teeth have been damaged by acid erosion (bulimia or fizzy drinks) or chipped by accident, composite veneers (cosmetic bonding) are often the most ideal, minimally invasive and cost effective solution.

Gaps between Teeth - One of the most common cosmetic complaints that composite bonding is used for is to close gaps between the front teeth (diastema) or other teeth. This treatment can be completed in a single visit and is a very cost effective alternative to orthodontic treatment or porcelain veneers.

Procedure for bonding of composite veneers

After our consultation and examination with our cosmetic dentist we will determine if you are suitable for composite veneers. Once all options have been discussed and health is good, we can complete your composite veneers in a very short time.

If you want your teeth to be whiter we will perform teeth whitening first.

All your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned with special agents. The composite is then bonded in layers to your teeth. After sculpting of the composite it is polished to create the final veneer. The results are amazing and can completely transform your smile.

After care

Diet and oral hygiene is important as well as regular hygienist/ dental checkups. Uses of night bite guards are important if you grind your teeth.

Composite Veneers will perfect your smile by evening and smoothing out your smile line, greatly improving the shade of your existing teeth and will evenly proportion the size and width of your teeth to give you that beautiful, perfect smile!
