Veneers

Veneers

Our teeth go through a lot during our lifetimes so it’s no surprise that with time they can start to look worn and discoloured . If you have teeth that are letting your smile down, you can have veneers made to conceal their defects and improve their appearance.

Veneers are a good choice for people who wish to change their smile in a short amount of time using a technique that is less invasive than crowns (caps). In many situations your teeth need minimal or no preparation, making it a much less invasive treatment than other restorative options.

What are veneers?

Veneers are usually made from porcelain, fitting over the front surface of the front teeth, covering the side that is visible when you smile. Porcelain has a natural, translucent appearance that perfectly mimics the texture of natural teeth. Veneers are custom-made using impressions of your teeth, so they fit perfectly. Depending on the position and shape of your teeth, it is sometimes necessary to remove a thin layer of outer enamel to accommodate the veneer.

As well as transforming the appearance of your teeth, veneers can also be used to fill in gaps and sometimes correct minor rotations of your teeth.

What is involved in having veneers fitted?

  • We make sure that the teeth having veneers are healthy despite their appearance, taking any x-rays to make sure the internal structures of the teeth are intact and the roots have good support.
  • If we need to remove a layer of enamel, we use local anaesthetic to keep the procedure comfortable.
  • Once the teeth are ready for the veneer, we take impressions to record the shape of your teeth, these are sent to the lab where the veneers are made.
  • We provide temporary veneers to protect your teeth if necessary.
  • For your fitting, we make sure the veneers fit and once you’re happy with them, we use dental cement to fix them in place.

Looking after your veneers

Whilst your veneers will be resistant to bacteria and decay, the teeth supporting them aren’t. Regular and thorough cleaning will make sure you keep your new smile healthy. Porcelain veneers aren’t as strong as dental enamel, so take care not to bite down on hard foods or use your teeth to open things, such as crisp packets.

We use Philips Zoom! At-Home or In Chair treatments to gently whiten your teeth.

I've been coming to Smilepod for years for cosmetic bonding & maintenance. I can't recommend Dr Ana Bosco enough for her expertise, attention to detail and artistry in achieving a natural result. Thank you Dr Ana & the always friendly Smilepod team!

I would highly recommend Dr Ana Bosco and the Smilepod team. I undertook extensive treatment: braces; whitening; and finally the replacement of a crown on my front tooth - an area which I had long been self-conscious about. I am absolutely delighted with the results and it was well worth the time and effort. I have received lots of compliments about my smile and the crown matches so well, no one can tell that it isn't real. Thank you so much to Ana and the team!

I think I must have been living under a rock as at the age of 51 I have only just realised what a proper and professional dental check up was like. This is my 1st time at Smilepod Moorgate and Carine was amazing. Considered and thorough. Every stage of the check brilliantly explained and options discussed. Wish I'd found them sooner....

One of my favourite things about this clinic is Kate Guti, not only is she an excellent hygienist, but she is funny and gentle. I never have to worry because she’s a professional at her job, I always get amazing results with her. Overall Smilepod is a really great clinic and I’m glad to have discovered it a few years ago.

I found Smile Pod from google search for a tooth cleaning/hygienist appointment. I had a really positive experience with Dr Rodrigo (so much so I wanted to write a review). Will definitely come back and felt very comfortable and in safe hands. Happy with the results. The appointment was made on the same day which was an added benefit!

I have only good things to say. The staff at Smilepod Holborn are amazing - kind, accommodating, and professional. I looked long and hard before settling on a dentist, and I am glad I did - 5-star, friendly service all around.In particular, Dr. Ana Maria Mackinnon is fabulously skilled and down to earth (with a witty sense of humor). It is not just her level of skill (which is high); it is her approach (solving complex issues in the least invasive way possible). Thank you, Ana Maria!Likewise, Dr. Ana Bosco's work is superb - she perfected my smile. She is also lovely, takes her time with patients, and explains every step along the way. Thanks, Ana!Costs are fair and reasonable for dental services, especially in light of the level of skill.
