Dental Practice In The Heart Of Dunfermline
Are composite and porcelain veneers different?
Porcelain veneers are stronger and less prone to staining than composite veneers and provided they are cared for properly, can last many years.
Book an AppointmentWhereas composite veneers are usually fabricated directly in the mouth by your dentist, porcelain veneers are expertly crafted by a technician in a dental laboratory so they require more appointments before having them fitted.
Your Veneer Journey With Us
As every case is different, you will have an initial consultation appointment where we will spend some time to fully understand your cosmetic wishes and make sure you are suitable for treatment.
We will then carry out a full assessment of your oral health to make sure you are dentally fit before providing you with a bespoke treatment plan detailing all appointments and costs from the outset.
You will then have scans taken and the veneers made firstly out of wax to see what they might look like. The planned shapes are then transferred to your mouth so we can do a trial smile and make sure you’re happy with the planned outcome. Any adjustments are made at this stage.
Once you are happy, the teeth are then prepared and further scans taken to be sent to the lab for your bespoke ceramic veneers to be made.
At the final appointment, the porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do porcelain veneers damage my natural teeth?
In some cases, porcelain veneers may be fabricated with no drilling of the underlying teeth however in most cases, they require a degree of tooth preparation. If some tooth drilling is required, at The Linden Tree Dental Lounge we will aim to be as minimally invasive as possible to conserve your natural tooth structure.
What are the advantages of porcelain veneers?
If you have chipped, worn, or discoloured teeth, porcelain veneers can provide a longlasting solution with a natural appearance. They can also be used to correct minor misalignment of the teeth making them appear straighter too.
