If you are investing in a great new smile, you want it to look completely suitable for your face. At Wimbledon Dental Care in Wimbledon, we like to take time to make sure that everything is as you want it to be.
That’s why, when you come to us for veneers, you will find that we take longer to make sure your veneers are completely right before we fit them and before we send you on your way with your new smile.
One size does not fit all
You’ve probably already noticed that teeth, like fingerprints, are pretty much unique to each person. Your teeth are completely different from your friends’ teeth, in size, shape and colour. They also live in completely different sized and shaped jaws and faces.
So, when you come to us for veneers, we want to be absolutely sure your veneers are right for you, not someone else.
A lot of dental practices talk about fitting veneers in just 2 appointments: one to measure you up and prepare your teeth and the next to fit them. We prefer to take a bit longer. After all, you are going to be wearing your veneers for about the next 10 years, maybe longer, so they’d better look right.
First appointment
The first thing is to make sure that veneers are the right treatment for your issue, or would you be better off with something else, like whitening treatment, or crowns? If veneers are suitable, we will take impressions of your teeth. They go off to a laboratory where highly skilled technicians will make a model of what your teeth will look like with veneers on.
Second appointment
We check you against the model to make sure that the veneers are right, and that you are happy with how your new teeth will look. If you are, the technicians get the go ahead to make the veneers.
Third appointment
We fit the veneers, and adjust them until they look great on you. Before we send you out the door, we give your teeth and veneers one last polish so that your new smile is looking amazing.
This extra step is worth taking. Please call us to find out more.
