Dental Veneers in Cobham, Surrey

Dental veneers are a great solution if your teeth are:

• Discoloured or stained
• Chipped
• Irregularly spaced
• Misshapen
• Slightly crooked

The process usually requires two to three appointments, spanning a period of approximately 6 weeks.

The first step is an initial consultation to assess the condition of your teeth and to discuss with the dentist the outcome that you would like to achieve.

The natural teeth are then prepared and impressions taken to allow for an accurate fit and good aesthetic result. These are sent to the laboratory where the new veneers are created.

Finally, a return appointment is made for the veneers to be securely fitted into position.

While wearing your veneers, you can continue to eat and drink as you normally would. However, being mindful of their presence will help them to last longer and maintain their appearance over time.

To protect your veneers, it is advisable to avoid biting into hard foods (like raw carrots) using your front teeth.

While porcelain veneers are generally less susceptible to staining than natural teeth, you can keep them looking pristine by minimising the consumption of beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine.

Modern veneers are very durable. If looked after well, they can last for between 10 and 15 years before needing to be replaced. Porcelain maintains its appearance well and has the advantage of not discolouring easily.
