Porcelain and composite veneers in Wanstead.

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance their colour, shape and alignment. They are popular among patients across Wanstead, Leytonstone and the wider East London area who want a smooth, even smile.

Porcelain veneers offer excellent durability and natural shine, while composite veneers provide a more affordable option with minimal preparation. Your dentist will explain the pros and cons of each and help you decide which suits your goals.

Porcelain veneers typically last 10-20 years. Composite veneers have a shorter lifespan but can be repaired or refreshed more easily. Regular check-ups at Ace Dental Wanstead help extend the life of both types.

Costs vary depending on the number of teeth and the material you choose. We offer flexible finance options, including 0% plans, making treatment more accessible for patients from Wanstead, Snaresbrook and South Woodford.

First impressions are vital and one of the first things people will notice about you is your smile. So, what are you showing the world? Is your smile captivating, or do you hide your smile behind your hands or pursed lips? If you’re pearly whites are not so pearly, or your teeth are chipped, crooked or damaged in other ways, veneers from Ace Dental can transform your smile from something you want to hide to something that you want to show off like a movie star. Almost anyone can benefit from getting veneers and no one knows veneers like Ace Dental. They look natural and they are a definite confidence booster. They are like a thin cap or shell that is custom made and fitted over your existing teeth. The end result is shiny, straight teeth. Stained teeth can be unsightly and teeth that are crooked, damaged or missing, all take away from what could be a winning smile. If you want to start grinning at the world again, veneers could be the answer.

If you like the idea of having veneers, your first step to a dazzling smile is a consultation with your Ace Dental practitioner. This first visit with your dentist to check your overall dental health, take an impression of your teeth, as well as an x-ray to ensure veneers are a good fit for you. The next visit is to prepare your teeth for the veneers. Your dentist will file off a tiny fraction of enamel from your teeth and take another impression that will be sent off to a laboratory for your permanent veneers to be custom made. At this stage, your dentist may give you temporary veneers to protect your teeth and make it easier for you to smile, eat and generally get on with your normal routine, until your final appointment. The third and final appointment is to thoroughly clean your teeth before your veneers are firmly bound to your existing teeth. That’s it. You finally have your million-dollar smile. In some cases, you may need extra visits to the dentist but these will be discussed with you during your initial consultation.

Ace Dental offers a number of different dental veneers and the materials used to make them is of the highest quality. Porcelain veneers are the most popular and are generally more dependable than other veneers. The material used for porcelain veneers is very durable and it has a similar sheen to natural teeth. There are other types of veneers as well. You may opt for composite veneers which are made from resin and other composite materials. They are cheaper than porcelain but they may not last as long. Talk to your dentist about which would be best for you and your budget.

Once you’ve had your new veneers fitted you may find the lure to stare into your mirror irresistible. You’ll be completely captivated by your sensational new smile. However, be prepared for the transitional period of getting used to your new smile. Your veneers will obviously feel different to your original teeth and you will need to get used to speaking, eating and drinking again. Take it slow and practice speaking at home. At meal times, cut your food into smaller pieces and chew carefully. Don’t worry. This is only a temporary phase and it won’t be long before you’re back to your old self again, but with a stunning smile. Taking good care of your new veneers is just a matter of a diligent oral hygiene routine. However, we also recommend a follow-up consultation a few weeks after you’ve had your veneers so your dentist can examine them to make sure they fit properly and to discuss appropriate care. Once you have your veneers fitted, your first impression smile will be memorable for all the right reasons. If you are not completely sure of what you should do to take care of your dental veneers, speak with your Ace Dental practitioner.

For a winning smile that looks and feels completely natural, porcelain veneers are a definite winner. As the name suggests, these veneers are made from a thin layer of porcelain. Porcelain veneers are a simple, yet stunning way to hide any imperfections in your smile, and give you one that you’ll be proud to show. If you’re always hiding your smile then porcelain veneers from Ace Dental are worth considering.

Porcelain veneers are ideal as a simple solution for teeth that may have lost their shape or their lustre. Some people have great teeth, but over time, they lose their shine or they may have become damaged or discoloured. Many candidates for porcelain veneers are plagued with dental concerns or may not have given their teeth adequate care during childhood. As adults, they find it difficult to show any confidence at work or in social situations, which makes them feel awkward. Porcelain veneers will not only transform a not-so-impressive smile into one that gets noticed for all the right reasons.

The result is instant and you will notice a difference in the way people respond to you. The true beauty of porcelain veneers is that they look and feel like natural teeth. While the mould is taken of your existing teeth, the finished product can be tweaked a little to change the overall shape of your teeth and give you a more uniform smile. They are less likely to become stained and will last longer than composite bonding. The process involves less destruction to your natural teeth than other cosmetic solutions, with only a tiny amount of tooth enamel needing to be removed to accommodate bonding porcelain veneers to your teeth. The end result is a natural-looking smile that looks amazing and won’t damage your existing teeth.

As with any dental procedure, the first step is a consultation with your dentist. During this time, your dentist will give your teeth a thorough examination. Any issues such as root canal problems, cavities or gum disease need to be taken care of before you can proceed with porcelain veneers. Once any necessary dental work has been completed, your dentist will file down a thin layer from the tips of your teeth to prepare them for veneers and take an impression of your teeth. This impression is then sent to a dental technician for the porcelain veneers to be made. Your next appointment is when you will be fitted with your custom-made porcelain veneers. The dentist will once again check your teeth and gums, to ensure nothing has changed since your last visit. The veneers are then fitted directly over your existing teeth to see how well they fit and then, finally, cemented into place with a special bonding material. Porcelain veneers won’t actually damage your existing teeth and they are a permanent cosmetic solution. Once you’ve had them fitted, you’ll need them for life. Another disadvantage is that they will need to be replaced at some point. The natural duration of porcelain veneers is about 10 years. With the right care, you can prolong this up to 20 years. There is also an adjustment period you will need to deal with and, in some cases, you may experience a little discomfort. In some instances, particularly where the shape of the teeth is altered, you may experience a little difficulty eating and speaking. Once again, this is only temporary and will soon pass. Porcelain veneers are very easy to take care of and maintain if you have a good dental hygiene routine. This is pretty much the same routine you should have had before being fitted with porcelain veneers. Brush your teeth gently in the first few days after you’ve been fitted and then keep up your routine.

Composite veneers are a great option for those wanting to improve their smile. They provide a finish that look and feel like natural teeth. Ace Dental offers this great solution for people who have minor cosmetic issues with their smile. A quick visit to our dental clinic will help you determine if you are a good candidate for composite veneers. There are a number of reasons to consider composite veneers to correct the overall shape and look of your existing teeth. If you have crooked, chipped or stained teeth, composite veneers will be a definite improvement for you. They are generally less expensive than porcelain veneers and, in most cases, they can be completed in a single visit to the dentist. You won’t need to go through the lengthy process of resizing your teeth or any major preparations to have them fitted. Another good reason for composite veneers is that they aren’t permanent and are relatively painless. Your first step to having composite veneers fitted is an initial consultation with your dentist. You’ll need a complete examination for your teeth to correct any issues such as cavities or tooth decay. Your dentist will then slightly roughen the surface of your teeth to make it easier for the bonding material to firmly adhere to your teeth. A thin layer of a strong adhesive is applied over your teeth before the application of the bonding resin. This resin is usually tailored to match the colour of your existing teeth or, if you are covering more teeth, you can even choose a shade or two lighter. The next step is the reshaping process. The dentist shapes the resin to match the rest of your teeth. The beauty of this is that the finished product will look exactly like your existing teeth so it will be difficult for anyone to notice you’ve had any aesthetic dental work done. Finally, the composite veneer finish is cured with a dental curing light before your new looking teeth get polished to a lustrous sheen. Composite veneers are made from the same materials as most of today’s fillings are made of. It is a composite resin formulated specifically for use in dentistry. In its initial form it resembles a paste that is smoothed over teeth before being shaped. The same applies for fillings. The composite resin is placed in the cavity of the tooth and shaped to feel as natural as possible. Most importantly, the material used for composite veneers is safe and non-toxic so you can be sure your new smile won’t harm you in any way. There are many advantages of being fitted with composite veneers – the main one being the cost. They are less expensive than other veneers and the entire process is less tedious and time consuming. In most cases, you can have composite veneers fitted in one visit to the dentist and you could be walking out with a new smile within a few hours. Another major advantage of composite veneers is that they are completely reversible. This makes it a great option for patients who may not be very decisive about permanent veneers. However, they are quite durable and, with proper care, can last for many years. Composite veneers need the same level of day-to-day dental hygiene you should be practising anyway. Brushing after each meal, is a must and you should avoid excessive consumption of acidic foods and fizzy drinks. Call on 020 8530 4230 to find out how our team can help you improve your smile.
