If the appearance of your teeth is affecting your confidence, dental veneers may be an option to consider. Veneers are thin coverings placed on the front of teeth to improve their size, shape and colour of your teeth.
Dental veneers may be suitable if you have:
Dental veneers can improve the appearance of teeth, but do not move teeth or correct bite problems. Orthodontic treatment may be recommended where tooth movement is required.

Porcelain veneers are made from a glass-based ceramic material and are produced by specialist dental technicians in a dental laboratory. They are designed to closely resemble natural teeth and are more resistant to staining than composite veneers.
Porcelain veneers are usually fitted over two to three appointments. To allow the veneers to fit correctly and look natural, a small amount of enamel is typically removed from the front of the tooth. This means porcelain veneers are an irreversible treatment. Your dentist will discuss this fully during your consultation.

Composite veneers are applied directly to the teeth using a tooth-coloured resin material, similar to that used for fillings. Treatment is usually completed in one visit and often involves minimal or no removal of tooth enamel.
Composite veneers may be suitable for teeth that are mildly discoloured, chipped or uneven. As resin is porous, composite veneers are more prone to staining and may require regular professional polishing. They may also require maintenance or replacement sooner than porcelain veneers.

The lifespan of dental veneers varies depending on your dental hygiene, lifestyle factors and the type of veneer used.
Porcelain veneers can last for many years with appropriate care. Composite veneers generally last several years and may require maintenance or replacement.
All veneers will need to be replaced at some point. Regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments are important to monitor their condition and the health of the underlying teeth and gums.

Before treatment begins, your dentist will carry out a full examination of your teeth and gums and discuss whether veneers are suitable.
If porcelain veneers are recommended, treatment is usually carried out over two appointments:
Composite veneers are applied and shaped directly onto the teeth during a single appointment. The resin is applied, sculpted, hardened and polished.

A review appointment may be arranged around one to two weeks after treatment to check the veneers and surrounding gum health.
Dental veneers should be cared for in the same way as natural teeth:
Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant but can be damaged by biting very hard foods. Composite veneers are more likely to stain and may require professional polishing to maintain their appearance.

I have been a patient at this practice for many years and have always been impressed by the helpful staff and professionalism of all concerned. Over recent times I have been looked after by Mark Trueman who has been so welcoming and reassuring. He always finds time to ask about my health and life, making the whole experience a very positive one. His reassuring manner helps me to relax, and any necessary dental work is carried out with the minimum of fuss, whilst informing me of what is taking place as the treatment is proceeding. Thank you Mark, and all the team at Capel Dental Care Surgery.
Fantastic atmosphere. I have a huge phobia of dentists and apart from an emergency at another dentist, I hadn't been for 40 years. The staff were very friendly and I felt at ease, the dentist explained everything in detail and I would recommend this dentist and the practice highly to anyone looking for a dentist .
