Dentists have been using veneers since the 1930s for the protection of teeth and to improve the aesthetics of the mouth. They are wafer-thin, individually tailored shells, that are permanently attached to the front of your teeth and coloured to match your teeth or according to personal preference. Veneers in Wimbledon are ideal for your unique dental issues. They are designed to resolve chips and cracks, gaps between teeth, damaged enamel, misalignment of the teeth and discolouration.

Teeth staining is an extremely common issue that we all face from time to time. Discolouration can occur as a result of many different factors. These include different foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, cola, wines and even certain fruits and vegetables.
Smoking is a major cause of discolouration, poor dental hygiene, some dental materials and also medication can lead to staining. Finally aging and genetics are an unavoidable cause of discolouration too. Although teeth staining can be bleached, this is only a temporary procedure. If you are looking for a permanent solution, veneers in wimbledon can whiten your smile without having to worry about discolouration as veneers are mainly stain resistant and therefore will not need to be whitened. In case of a chipped or cracked tooth, you may need only one veneer or may decide to have a set of veneers to help enhance your smile by providing symmetry and optimally aligning the remaining teeth. Veneers are also used in the treatment of damaged enamel. Enamel is the thin outer covering of your teeth. Although it is the hardest tissue in the human body, enamel can be damaged by many different factors, including over-brushing, consumption of highly acidic foods and drinks and also by your own stomach acid in acid reflux disease. Enamel damage is known as enamel abrasion or enamel erosion and veneers in Wimbledon can be a perfect treatment for this issue.
Porcelain Veneers
The materials used in the formation of veneers have evolved over the years with advances in dental science and technology. Since the 1980’s dentists have been using porcelain to create veneers. Porcelain veneers have been found to show excellent aesthetic results and predictable longevity of the treatment. It requires a few trips to the dentist, and involves slight reshaping of the tooth so that the veneer can be attached perfectly without changing the size of your teeth but rest assured the dentist will ensure your comfort at all times. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant and have the same light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, and will therefore camouflage with your existing teeth if that is what you are interested in or enhance and improve your mouth altogether, according to your personal requirements.
