Transform Your Smile with Porcelain & Composite Veneers
Improve Your Smile with Stunning Veneers
Veneers are a popular and effective solution for achieving a beautiful, confident smile. At Sidcup Dental Spa, our resident dentist — Dr. Iraj Almasi — offers expert veneer placement to totally transform the appearance of your teeth.
What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells, custom-made from high-quality porcelain, that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They offer a versatile cosmetic treatment option for:
- Stained or discoloured teeth: Veneers can effectively mask deep stains or discolouration, creating a brighter, more even smile.
- Chipped or cracked teeth: Veneers provide a durable solution to repair minor chips or cracks, restoring the natural look and functionality of your teeth.
- Misshapen or misaligned teeth: Veneers can subtly reshape teeth that appear uneven, offering a more symmetrical smile.
- Gaps between teeth: In some cases, veneers can be used to close minor gaps between teeth, eliminating the need for orthodontic treatment.
The Advantages of Veneers
Veneers offer plenty of benefits for patients seeking a cosmetic dental solution:
Natural-Looking Results: Porcelain veneers are designed to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, creating a highly realistic and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Durability and Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers are exceptionally strong and resistant to staining, offering a long-lasting solution compared to other cosmetic options. With proper care, veneers can last for over a decade.
Whiter and Brighter Smile: Veneers can significantly improve the whiteness and brightness of your smile, boosting your confidence and overall well-being.
Improved Confidence: A beautiful smile can have a profound impact on your confidence. Veneers can help you feel more comfortable and empowered to share your smile with the world.
Are Veneers Right for You?
While veneers offer a multitude of advantages, it’s important to consider if they’re the best fit for your individual needs. During your consultation, Dr. Almasi will carefully assess your teeth and discuss your cosmetic goals. Here are some factors to consider:
Tooth Enamel: In most cases, a small amount of enamel needs to be removed from the front surface of the tooth to accommodate the veneer. This is a permanent alteration.
Sensitivity: Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after veneer placement, which typically subsides within a few days.
Cost: The cost of veneers will vary depending on the number of veneers required and the material used. Dr. Almasi will discuss pricing and payment options during your consultation.
Understanding Veneer Types
There are two primary types of veneers: porcelain and composite.
Porcelain Veneers: These are the most popular choice due to their durability, natural appearance, and resistance to staining. They require a minimal amount of tooth preparation and can last for many years with proper care.
Composite Veneers: Made from tooth-coloured resin, composite veneers are a more affordable option compared to porcelain. They are less durable and may not last as long, but they can be a good choice for patients with minor imperfections.
The Procedure
If veneers are determined to be the right option for you, Dr. Almasi — the specialist at our practice for veneers in Sidcup — will walk you through the three-step placement procedure:
Step 1 — Tooth Preparation: A minimal amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth to ensure a proper fit for the veneer.
Step 2 — Impressions and Temporary Veneers: An impression of your teeth is taken to create custom-made veneers. You may wear temporary veneers while your permanent ones are being fabricated.
Step 3 — Veneer Bonding: Your custom-made veneers are securely bonded to the prepared tooth surface using a strong dental adhesive.

FAQs

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, improving their appearance by addressing issues such as discolouration, chips, or uneven spacing. They are a great solution for achieving a uniform, radiant smile.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer before needing replacement. Avoiding habits like biting hard objects helps prolong their lifespan.

Yes, veneers can be used to close small gaps and improve the appearance of mildly misaligned teeth without the need for braces. They create a seamless and symmetrical look.
