Your natural teeth remain underneath the veneers, but a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the front surface to ensure a natural fit and appearance. Once bonded, veneers act as a protective layer over the treated teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, the underlying teeth can remain healthy for many years.

What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells that are permanently bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance.
Veneers are used to treat many cosmetic dentistry concerns that you may hear from your dentist, such as chipped, discoloured, or small teeth.
Dental veneers have been around for a long time, and as such, they have been tested and proven to be an excellent long-term, natural-looking treatment option for chipped, stained, or misshapen teeth.
How Does the Porcelain Veneers Process Work?
To get your porcelain veneers, you will require two separate visits, usually a week apart. On the first appointment, we will begin by shaving a very thin layer of the tooth enamel, followed by taking an impression of your teeth for the creation of a mould. We’ll then send the mould to a dental lab for them to custom-make a porcelain veneer for you. Like composite bonding, this may be done on just one tooth or on multiple teeth.
Once the veneers are ready and sent back to our clinic from the lab, we see you for your second appointment. During this appointment, we attach the veneers to the teeth by cementing them in place using a thin layer of porcelain material. Temporary veneers are placed in between appointments for your comfort.
Who Are Porcelain Veneers For?
Porcelain veneers, offered by our dental practice in Liverpool, can be used for a range of dental concerns. They are most suitable if you’re looking to transform your smile.
Porcelain veneers can address issues like discoloured, stained, or misshapen teeth. They are also a helpful option if you have minor cosmetic imperfections, such as chipped teeth, small gaps between your teeth, or crooked teeth.
Moreover, porcelain veneers are popular among patients seeking a long-lasting and natural-looking solution to rejuvenate their smile.
If you feel as though this is you and want either a smile makeover or a subtle improvement, our porcelain dental veneers in Liverpool will supply you with a pleasing process that aims to give you that Hollywood smile.

Will You Face Any Side Effects With Porcelain Veneers?
On rare occasions, some patients report experiencing slight tooth sensitivity and temporary gum inflammation from composite veneers. There is also an increased future risk of tooth pulp injury after slightly shaving the surface of any tooth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Getting veneers is generally not painful. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, as only a minimal amount of enamel is removed. A local anaesthetic can be used if needed to ensure your comfort. Some people may experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods for a few days after treatment, but this typically resolves quickly.
High-quality porcelain veneers typically last between 10 and 15 years, although many patients enjoy their results for even longer with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental appointments, and avoiding habits such as teeth grinding or biting hard objects can help extend the lifespan of your veneers.
Veneers may not be suitable if you have untreated tooth decay, active gum disease, severe teeth grinding (bruxism), or insufficient enamel. Patients with significant orthodontic issues may also require alternative treatment before veneers can be considered. A consultation with our cosmetic dentist will determine whether veneers are the right option for your smile.
Traditional porcelain veneers are considered an irreversible treatment because a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation. Once veneers are placed, they will need to be maintained and eventually replaced when they reach the end of their lifespan. However, your dentist can discuss alternative cosmetic treatments if you are looking for a less permanent solution.
