Dental Veneers Frequently Asked Questions
Dental veneers, often known as porcelain veneers, are an excellent solution for anyone seeking a better smile. Porcelain veneers recreate the natural look of your teeth while offering strength comparable to natural tooth enamel.
Many people turn to veneers to improve the look of their smile while also fixing problems such as chips, gaps and discolouration.
What are dental veneers?
Veneers are thin, durable shells made of tooth-coloured materials that are bonded to the surface of a tooth to enhance its appearance.
What are the types of veneers?
Porcelain and composite are the most common veneer materials. Composite veneers are made of a resin that is shaped and bonded to a tooth to enhance its appearance. Porcelain veneers are usually made in a lab and are more resistant to staining than other materials.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are the most commonly used veneer type. Porcelain laminates are thin ceramic shells that fit precisely on the front surfaces of prepared front teeth. Porcelain veneers closely resemble natural teeth, which is why they are often preferred to other veneer types. Veneers may be recommended to improve colour, gaps, size, shape, chipping and failed fillings. At our practice, porcelain (Emax or zirconia) veneers are £839 per tooth.
What are the benefits of dental veneers?
Veneers are one of the most effective cosmetic dental treatments. They are made of a strong, durable material, which makes them long-lasting. They have a natural appearance and don’t look fake. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant and recovery after treatment is minimal. They are a worthwhile investment if you want to improve your smile.
Will the veneers look fake?
Veneers are designed to look like your natural teeth, especially porcelain veneers, which closely resemble natural enamel. The quality of the result depends on the dentist and the technique used.
Should I worry about my veneers getting stained?
One reason porcelain veneers are favoured is that they resist staining. You can enjoy tea, coffee and other drinks that tend to stain without worrying about your veneers discolouring.
What is the aftercare for veneers?
Veneers act like your natural teeth, but to keep them strong it is advisable to keep up your usual hygiene routine, including daily brushing, flossing and regular visits to the dentist for cleaning.

I've been going to this dentist for almost a year now initially it was just to clean my teeth and do regular check ups and I was really happy with how kind everyone was and the quality of the treatments. After a while I wanted to do teeth whitening but didn't know anything about it or the process. I had a consultation with them and they ran through the treatment, cost and everything I needed to know. After a few weeks of using the gels my teeth were considerably whiter and I was receiving compliments from my family and friends on my smile. After a while they suggested I consider veneers for two pegs on the top of my teeth, they also do a monthly instalment and after a few weeks considering it I decided to do it and was very happy with the results. It looks very natural and matches my teeth perfectly and made me a lot more confident with my smile and was getting compliments from a lot of people shortly after getting it done. Would definitely recommend coming here everyone is very welcoming, friendly and professional and I've never had any complaints with any of the treatments

After visiting Veneers, Emergency Center, i can tell the whole world how proud i finally am to visit a professional dentist that actually checks everything you ask them too and also takes the time to sit down and go through the good and bad things associated with the problem you address them with. I have went to many dentists and i have struggled to find a dentist that actually does there career properly, and actually shows there experience aswell as there degree in action. I had a pain in my right side of my mouth everytime i chewed at the back but my tooth was not sensitive, i approached a dentist that is apart of NHS and when i told him the problem, he didnt seem so reassuring he understood what i was getting at, so we did the X-ray and he didnt even catch all of the tooth he missed the tooth i assumed would be the problem (wisdom tooth), for me i could not stay at that dentist, that is basics for a dentist to conduct a proffesional examination, especially if you are paying for it out of pocket. Everything changed when i went to Veneers, Emergency Centre, i explained my problem to the dentist and he immediatly had equipment that certainly is more up to date then any dentist i have seen, he has 2 forms of x ray machines that catches all of your teeth without any problmes at all. He then checked my teeth and immediatly found the problem under 5mins of seeing him, which he immediatly treated on the same day without any complications or issues. Veneers is truly a keep when it comes to your teeth and i will not be leaving any time soon. The dentist also has a varitey of treatments more then most dentists i have seen. Thank you Veneers!! I finally can stop hunting for the best because you are the best!.
