Veneers Bishops Stortford

If you’ve ever wondered how celebrities maintain such beautiful smiles, the answer is nearly always veneers. These thin shells or porcelain fit over the front of the teeth to drastically change the appearance. They are most commonly used to correct things like misaligned teeth, small gaps, chips, cracks, discolouration and thinning enamel. The popularity of this treatment lies in its versatility and ability to quickly transform smiles.

If you’re not prepared to wait for treatments like orthodontics, or if you’ve been told that treatments like teeth whitening won’t be effective for your kind of discoloration, then porcelain veneers offer the ideal solution. We can help you to transform your smile with veneers that are perfectly designed to match with your facial structure, creating balance and harmony that looks perfectly natural.

When researching veneers, you might also come across a cost-effective treatment called composite veneers. The main difference between these treatments is the type of material used. If you would like to achieve a very natural look, then porcelain veneers are the option to choose. Porcelain looks very similar to a natural tooth as it has a slightly translucent and glossy appearance.

In contrast, composite veneers might look flat and opaque in comparison. The lifespan of the treatment will also be very different. Porcelain veneers can last around 12-15 years with good care, whereas composite veneers will start to wear down after around 5 years. If you’re not sure if veneers are right for you, it’s possible to start with composite veneers, and then upgrade after 5 years if you like how they look.
