Ceramic dental veneers

Ceramic veneers are a common choice amongst patients seeking a complete smile makeover. Often seen on celebrities and public figures, they create stunning-looking smiles and help many people get their confidence back.

For the application of a ceramic veneer, part of the original tooth’s enamel typically needs to be shaved down. Once enough space is created, the veneer is bonded to the tooth using dental cement. Although the application of dental veneers is considered very steady, there’s always a risk of the veneer falling off.

To help patients who have lost a ceramic veneer, we offer same-day veneer replacement made possible by an on-site CEREC technology. After the dentists examine the surface of your tooth, we create a 3D model of the needed restoration, which is then sent to an on-site milling machine. The machine creates the restoration of a single ceramic block, after which the dentist bonds it in the place of the original veneer.

Call us on 020 7486 1047  to book an appointment.

Composite veneers

Composite veneers are a suitable treatment for a large number of dental issues, including closing a gap, complete smile makeover, tooth discolouration, teeth sensitivity, and others. Unlike ceramic veneers, the composite veneer is not made separately and is attached to the tooth with a bonding agent. Instead, the veneer is built up over the natural tooth layer by layer, using a special dental composite created particularly for this purpose.

Although composite and ceramic veneers have a similar lifespan and require a review every year, composite veneers can be the patient’s choice when seeking more naturally-looking results.

If you have composite veneers and have suffered trauma or require a review of your veneers, call our friendly receptionist staff to book an appointment or use the button below to book online.

Are Problems With Dental Veneers an Emergency?

Problems with dental veneers can be an emergency depending on whether the underlying tooth is exposed:

Tooth Not Exposed

If the veneer is chipped or cracked but the underlying tooth is not exposed, it’s not usually an urgent emergency. While discomfort may be minimal, you should still schedule a visit with your dentist to prevent further damage.

Tooth Exposed

If the veneer detaches and leaves the tooth exposed, particularly if there’s sensitivity or pain, this qualifies as a dental emergency. The exposed tooth is vulnerable to damage and infection, so contacting is crucial to avoid serious complications.

In both cases, it’s best to have the veneer repaired quickly to prevent worsening issues.

How to Handle Veneer Damage or Detachment

If a veneer becomes damaged or detaches, taking immediate action can prevent further complications.

For Minor Chips or Cracks

Avoid chewing on the affected side and steer clear of hard or sticky foods that could worsen the damage. Schedule an appointment with us to get it repaired promptly and avoid further damage.

For Detachment

If the veneer comes off completely, avoid trying to DIY the issue. Keep the veneer safe and contact an emergency dentist right away, especially if you’re experiencing pain or sensitivity.

If possible, try to hold on to the part of the veneer that has fallen off and show it to our specialists when you visit the clinic.

Questions and Answers

  • Lost veneer

    If you have lost a veneer, do not postpone visiting the dentist. If your teeth have been shaved down for the application of veneers (a typical procedure), the loss of one or more of the restorations means that the dentine of your teeth may be exposed, and the lack of intervention can cause more complex dental issues.

  • I had my veneers done abroad. Will you still be able to help me?

    We have an on-site CEREC machine and work with a composite veneer specialist with more than 30 years of experience, which makes us fairly confident that we will be able to help you.

  • I am planning on having veneers done abroad. Can I come to your for maintenance?

    There are plenty of brands of veneers (ceramic and porcelain) available on the market, and every dentist chooses one or a few to work with. This is why it may prove challenging to receive additional treatment from a dentist if you’ve had your veneers done in a different country. We would not deny assistance to anyone in need, but we urge you to have dental treatments completed in the country of your residency where possible.

  • Can you help with temporary dental veneers?

    Each patient and each dental trauma is different, but the general answer to that question is yes. If your case can be corrected with a temporary dental veneer (particularly if you want to visit your own dentist to treat the condition), we can assist you.

  • What are dental veneers?

    Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials (usually porcelain or resin composite) designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They improve the appearance of teeth by masking imperfections such as chips, stains, or gaps. Veneers are bonded to the tooth and can provide a natural-looking smile makeover while also offering some protection to the underlying tooth structure.

  • How much do dental veneers cost?

    The emergency consultation at 24 Hour Emergency Dentist is £45. Treatment is quoted based on each individual case.

    The cost of new veneers differs significantly based on the number of veneers, the type (ceramic or composite), and the current dental condition of the patient. The starting cost for composite veneers with us is £595.
