A complete and fast smile makeover with cosmetic dentistry

If you are self-conscious about your stained, chipped, broken, cracked or misaligned teeth, then there is a procedure we can invite you to consider. It can quickly hide these issues in a simple, two-step system.

The multiple benefits of porcelain veneers include the fact that they look like natural, beautiful teeth and that they do not require any kind of major treatment to install. If you have a range of concerns with your smile and would like to enjoy quickly restoring your teeth to create a picture-perfect smile, then this cosmetic dentistry in Bournemouth may very well be exactly what you are looking for.

There are many pros and cons that you will need to understand and consider when you are thinking about having this cosmetic dentistry in Bournemouth treatment. The major concern is that we need to remove a thin layer of enamel in order to roughen up the surface of your tooth for the cement to adhere strongly enough to create long-lasting veneers.

However, using this treatment can actually protect your teeth from the natural wearing down of enamel. We often find that enamel erosion is naturally caused by overzealous brushing or eating acidic foods and drinks on a regular basis.

As enamel wears away or is removed for receiving porcelain veneers, there is a risk of sensitivity becoming an issue. It can be common for you to have increased sensitivity for the first few days following the installation, but with a specific toothpaste, you can find that this pain goes away.

You should understand that this treatment is irreversible once completed, but once you have weighed up the advantages and disadvantages, this can either be a concern for you or not. By speaking to a professional who works in the field of cosmetic dentistry in Bournemouth, we can help you gain insightful information and advice which lead you to make the right decision for your smile goals.

What exactly is a veneer?

A porcelain veneer is a very thin, very durable tooth coloured and shaped piece of porcelain that is bonded with a special glue on top of your natural tooth. These veneers can be tailor made to suit your individual tooth shape, style and colour and to blend in with your unique smile so that they look natural within the mouth, whether you opt for a single veneer or a fast smile makeover.

Should you wish to cover up a single stained or chipped tooth, then we are able to match the exact shade of porcelain to have it blend in completely naturally with your other teeth so that the stained tooth is hidden away.

This treatment can also double as a kind of protective crown for some of your teeth, both where thinning enamel is a concern and where a tooth can be at risk of further damage should it be left exposed, such as when it is cracked or chipped.

When braces are not suitable, veneers can also be a quick and easy solution to closing small gaps and realigning one tooth that is slightly out of position. By speaking with one of our team members about this treatment, you will be able to gain an understanding of the cost of this treatment and whether it is a suitable option for you.
