Dental Veneers Treatment Procedures

At London Dental Specialists, our dental veneers treatment procedure is a precise, multi-step process designed to transform your smile using custom-made ceramic shells. This phase follows your initial consultation and treatment planning, focusing on the actual application of your veneers.

Key Steps in Our Veneers Procedure

• Tooth Preparation: We carefully remove a thin layer of enamel (typically 0.5mm) to accommodate the veneer.


• Impression Taking: We create precise moulds of your prepared teeth using advanced digital scanning technology.


• Temporary Veneers: If needed, we fit you with temporary veneers while your custom ones are being crafted.


• Colour Matching: We ensure your veneers perfectly match your natural tooth colour for a seamless blend.


• Final Fitting and Bonding: We meticulously place and bond your custom veneers to your teeth.

The Bonding Process

The bonding of your veneers is a critical step in the procedure:

1. We thoroughly clean and polish your teeth.


2. An etching solution is applied to create a rougher surface for better adhesion.


3. We apply a special dental cement to your veneers.


4. The veneers are carefully positioned on your teeth.


5. We use a special light to cure the cement, ensuring a strong, lasting bond.

Comfort and Care During Treatment

Your comfort is our priority throughout the procedure. We use local anaesthetic when necessary to ensure a pain-free experience. The entire process typically takes place over 2-3 appointments, allowing time for proper healing and adjustments if needed.

Post-Treatment Care

After your veneers are placed, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions:

• Proper brushing and flossing techniques


• Dietary recommendations to protect your new veneers


• Advice on avoiding habits that could damage your veneers


• Schedule for follow-up appointments

At London Dental Specialists, our expert cosmetic dentists use the latest techniques and highest-quality materials to ensure your veneers look natural, feel comfortable, and last for years to come. We're committed to delivering exceptional results that will give you the confidence to share your radiant new smile with the world.

Post Dental Veneers Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for maintaining your new dental veneers and ensuring they last for their full expected lifespan of 10-20 years. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive guidance on how to care for your veneers after treatment completion.

Your post-treatment care begins immediately after your veneers are placed. You may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures for the first few days, which is completely normal. This typically subsides within a week as your teeth adjust to the veneers.

Daily Care for Your Dental Veneers

• Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste


• Floss daily to remove plaque from between teeth and around veneer margins


• Consider using an alcohol-free mouthwash to help maintain gum health


• Avoid biting directly into hard foods such as apples or carrots - cut them into smaller pieces instead


• Limit consumption of staining substances like coffee, red wine, and tobacco

Protective Measures for Longevity

To protect your investment in your smile, we recommend:

• Wearing a custom nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth during sleep


• Using a mouthguard during contact sports to prevent accidental damage


• Avoiding using your teeth as tools to open packages or bite nails


• Being cautious with very sticky or hard foods that could potentially damage veneers

Regular Follow-up Appointments

We schedule a follow-up appointment approximately two weeks after your veneer placement to ensure everything is settling properly. Subsequently, we recommend:

• Regular dental check-ups every six months


• Professional cleanings twice yearly using veneer-safe techniques and materials


• Annual veneer assessment to check for any signs of wear or damage

At London Dental Specialists, our commitment to your smile doesn't end when your veneers are placed. We provide ongoing support and are always available to address any concerns you may have about your veneers. With proper care and regular professional maintenance, your dental veneers will continue to provide you with a beautiful, natural-looking smile for many years to come.

Remember that while veneers are highly durable, they may eventually need replacement. By following our aftercare guidelines, you'll maximise their lifespan and protect your investment in your radiant new smile.
