Rejuvenating Smiles with a Smile Makeover for Patients from Denton

The French cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard once remarked that ‘Americans may have no identity, but they do have wonderful teeth.’ Contrastingly, terrible teeth seem to be embedded in the outsider’s view of British identity. In the modern age, however, an unsatisfying smile need not be part of anyone’s cultural baggage and a smile makeover may be one way of combating any unfortunate stigmas.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is an umbrella term encompassing various forms of treatment, and can mean different things to different people. One person may want a full Hollywood smile, another may simply want teeth whitening and their amalgam fillings replaced with composite material. What unites these forms of treatment is that they are all centred around cosmetic improvement.

Initial assessment

Before any treatment or plans of treatment are considered, a dentist will discuss any issues you have with your smile and an initial examination will take place. Following this, relevant treatment options will then be discussed.

Forms of treatment available

There are several, ranging from teeth whitening to dental implants. One form of treatment we at Mossley Dental Care near Denton find particularly effective are porcelain veneers. Veneers are, for teeth, what false nails are fingers: They are wafer thin shells of material which are bonded to the teeth. They can cover up a variety of ornamental ailments, including: Broken, damaged, discoloured and, to an extent, crooked teeth. They can also help cover up gaps between teeth. Veneers can be used to improve the look of a single tooth or the whole of your mouth.

Talk to us

Numerous treatments are available, and the whole purpose of a smile makeover is to give you the smile you desire. The price of a smile makeover can vary drastically. Porcelain Veneers, for example, can cost between £300 and £1500, but a more intensive smile reconstruction can be upward of £20,000. Book a consultation and we will guide you through all of the options available to you.

Falling in Love with Your Smile Again with Porcelain Veneers for Patients in Glossop

Time, diet and lifestyle can all cause wear and damage to our teeth and the smile we once loved may become a stranger as the changes occur. However, tired smiles can soon be transformed with the use of porcelain veneers, so you can fall back in love with your smile again.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, shell like covers, which are bonded to the surface of your teeth to create a beautiful, white and balanced smile. Each veneer is custom-crafted to your teeth, smile and overall appearance and is incredibly life like in both look and feel. Using the very highest quality materials ensures that veneers can last for years, providing the answer to problems such as:

  • Teeth that have become worn and small.
  • Teeth with gaps
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Cracked teeth
  • Chipped teeth
  • Discoloured teeth

Smile Makeover in a Day at Mossley Dental Care

At Mossley Dental Care we use the latest CEREC technology, which allows us to create dental restorations such as crowns and veneers on the very same day of your visit. Usually veneer treatment requires patients from Glossop to visit the practice 2-3 times, with temporary veneers fitted in between treatments. This isn’t necessary at Mossley Dental Care and you can walk out of the practice on the same day with a brand new smile.

Your veneers will also be designed with you on site, so your new veneers will be perfectly matched to the colour, shape and overall appearance of your smile.

How long can veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last for 15 years or more, if you stick to a good oral heath regime, which includes brushing, flossing and using mouthwash. If you do need to have a veneer changed this is an easy process, which we carry out at the practice.

Dental Veneers are The Quick Treatment Choice For Residents in Hyde

Dental veneers consist of a wafer-thin layer of material that is placed over stained, damaged or crooked teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. The thin layer that covers the tooth is made of either a composite bonding material or dental porcelain. Porcelain veneers are very durable and aesthetically appealing. Composite veneers, on the other hand, are not as long-lasting and are a much cheaper alternative. Composite material, though, is more likely to be used for small chips rather than veneers.

How does it work?

  • A Hyde dentist will prepare the teeth for the procedure by using a dental file to shave off the thickness of the veneer that is about to be fitted.
  • The next step involves getting a mould of the teeth through biting into a tray of dental putty.
  • This is sent to a dental laboratory where a cast is formed to help create veneers that are perfectly fitted to the teeth.
  • Before the veneers are actually fitted, the teeth are thoroughly cleaned and roughened up with an acid gel, which helps the dental cement adhere the veneer and tooth together.
  • Finally, the veneers are cemented onto the teeth. A curing light is used to make sure the cement bonds the two surfaces together permanently.

How long do they last?

Both types of veneers will need to be replaced eventually. The porcelain veneers usually last between five and ten years and composite veneers tend to last around one or two years at the most.  Veneers have been known to loosen or fall off prematurely, if this should happen it is important that you keep the veneer and contact your dentist immediately. Regular check-ups with your dentist and good oral hygiene will help the veneers last as long as they are designed to.

Want a better looking smile? Dukinfield dentists can fit you with stunning porcelain veneers

It is not hard to get a better looking smile these days.  Dentists have improved their techniques and offer a startling variety of different ways for patients to deal with issues surrounding their smiles.  These processes don’t have to cost the earth either as greater efficiency levels mean that sometimes the costs have come down too.  In a busy world, perhaps the most welcome improvement is that many of these techniques can now be carried out effectively in hardly any time at all.

All of the above applies to porcelain veneers.  These clever devices can effectively conceal teeth which are deemed to be unsightly by the patient.  Chipped, cracked or even stained teeth can be bothersome for patients because they will probably still be functional as far as teeth go so there is no real medical need to sort them out.  But the presence of them in a smile can have effects on the patients’ self confidence as they are constantly aware of teeth in their mouth which just don’t look very good.

Covering them up with thin strips of porcelain is one way to deal with this.  Dentists are now able to do so in a very quick visit to the surgery.  Thanks to things like digital x-rays and CEREC technology, porcelain dental veneers can be applied to your unsightly teeth in just a short, morning or afternoon session at the surgery.  The use of this high technology has not raised prices; in some cases it actually means that the procedures can be cheaper.

The next time you are at the surgery with your Dukinfield dentist, have a chat about porcelain dental veneers.  You might just find that they represent the solution you have been looking for to make your smile look better.
