If your teeth are discoloured and you are unhappy with your smile Cosmetic Dentistry can provide the solution. Teeth Whitening is a popular Cosmetic Dentistry treatment. However, it is not suitable for everyone in every instance. If your teeth are very sensitive to hot and cold Dental Veneers might well be the better option. Certain illnesses and medicines can also produce discolouration which is not responsive to bleaching. For instance, the antibiotic tetracycline which is often given to young children can make the adult teeth turn a yellowish or green shade: This discolouration is not usually responsive to teeth whitening products – In which case your Dentist Essex might well recommend Dental Veneers.

Replacement Dental Veneers

If you already have Dental Veneers bleaching will not remove any discoloration. Instead your Dentist might suggest replacing the existing Veneers. Porcelain Veneers have been used within Cosmetic Dentistry since the eighties and can last many years if well cared for. Even so, with advancements in technology as well as technique modern Dental Veneers have never looked so good or been so durable. Today Porcelain Veneers can last from ten years to a life time – Again depending on how well they are cared for. Porcelain Veneers can be used to conceal discoloured teeth and are custom made to suit each individual patient – Providing a natural as well whiter and brighter smile.
What Can Go Wrong?

If the Dentist who carries out the work is not experienced or ‘artistic’ enough then there are things which can go wrong: Unfortunately, this can all too often be the case with regards to ‘cheap’ deals. If the outcome is not what you were hoping for it will ‘cost’ you more in the long run. Indeed, we have all read and seen the horror stories!

If the lab technicians who create the Veneers are somewhat lapse then your Porcelain Veneers may well end up looking like they belong to someone else: Never attractive. Preparation and bonding is also important. The surface of the tooth needs to be reduced correctly in order to avoid the Veneers feeling thick and/or looking bulky: A ‘quick fix’ here could be uncomfortable as well as costly. In addition, they might come off because they may not bond correctly with the tooth.
