Empress veneers are creating beautiful smiles in London SE1

Empress veneers are custom-made, durable porcelain veneers, which contain a large amount of Lucite. Veneers are very thin shells of laminated ceramic material, which are shaped and coloured like natural teeth and are applied over the top of the natural teeth to create a beautiful smile.

What is different about Empress veneers?

Empress veneers are different to traditional veneers because they last a lot longer. This is because they contain a larger amount of Lucite, a substance which makes them extremely strong and durable. Typically, Empress veneers are between 3 and 6 times stronger than other types of veneer.

Why would I consider having veneers?

Very few people have perfect teeth and if you often find yourself looking through magazines and wishing you had a perfect dazzling smile similar to the Hollywood A-listers, veneers may be the solution. Veneers are a very effective treatment, which can create a flawless result and can transform even the most unsightly teeth. Veneers can be used to address problems such as:

• staining and discolouration

• poorly aligned teeth

• gaps between the teeth

• chipped and worn teeth

• cracked teeth

What does it involve?

In order to make room for veneers, the teeth must first be prepared by your London SE1 dentist, which involves tiny pieces of the tooth surface being removed. The preparation stage is carried out under local anaesthetic to prevent pain and discomfort. Once the teeth have been prepared, impressions of the teeth will be taken and used as a template to fabricate the new veneers. The custom-made veneers will then be returned to the dentist and they can be fitted and fixed into position.
