Porcelain Veneers in Polegate

With porcelain veneers at Polegate Dental Practice, you can enhance tooth colour, shape and symmetry using thin, custom-made ceramic shells bonded to the front of each tooth. This approach offers a natural look and a conservative way to achieve a lasting smile.

Your Treatment at a Glance

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that improve the appearance of teeth, correcting discolouration, chips, gaps and minor misalignment. They create a natural, even smile and boost confidence with lasting aesthetic appeal.

At Polegate Dental Practice in East Sussex, we design bespoke veneers to match your face and shade. Dental veneers deliver durable, natural-looking results with easy upkeep, helping you enjoy a balanced, confident smile for years.

Benefits of Dental Porcelain Veneers

Understanding Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are planned by first assessing your teeth, discussing the changes you want and checking overall suitability. We look at colour, shape and alignment, then take photographs and impressions to guide the design. A preview of the proposed look helps you understand how your smile could appear before any work begins.

To place the veneers, a thin layer of enamel is smoothed to create space, and temporary coverings may be fitted while the final ceramics are made. At the fitting appointment, each veneer is checked carefully for comfort and appearance before being securely bonded in place.

The Right Candidate

You may be a suitable candidate for porcelain veneers in Polegate, East Sussex, if any of the following apply:

Severe discolouration: Teeth that resist whitening and display intrinsic stains, where porcelain veneers provide a consistent, natural-coloured appearance efficiently for many patients.
Chips or minor fractures: Small chips or surface fractures that require cosmetic repair to restore shape, strength and a seamless smile again.
Minor gaps or misalignment: Individuals with small gaps or slight misalignment seeking rapid cosmetic improvement without orthodontic treatment often choose veneers today.
Worn or uneven teeth: Patients with worn, short or uneven teeth who seek fuller, more proportionate tooth shape and improved aesthetics overall.

Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?

Natural aesthetics

Custom porcelain matches shade and translucency, creating a seamless, lifelike result that complements facial features and smile harmony.

Stain resistance

Porcelain resists discolouration from foods and drinks, maintaining a bright, consistent shade with routine hygiene and professional care.

Durability

Quality porcelain veneers offers lasting strength and wear resistance, delivering dependable aesthetics and function with appropriate care and routine dental reviews.

Conservative preparation

Modern dental veneers often require minimal enamel removal, preserving tooth structure while enabling significant cosmetic improvement with less invasive treatment.

Versatile corrections

Dental veneers address stains, chips, gaps and shape issues simultaneously, offering a comprehensive cosmetic solution tailored to individual dental needs.

Long-term investment

With proper care, porcelain veneers provide enduring aesthetic value and can enhance confidence, social interactions and long-term dental satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment:

How long do porcelain veneers last?

With good care, porcelain veneers typically last ten to fifteen years or more. Regular dental reviews, avoiding hard foods and maintaining excellent oral hygiene help prolong their lifespan and protect underlying teeth.

Are dental veneers painful to have fitted?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during preparation, which is carried out under local anaesthetic. Temporary sensitivity may occur afterwards, but this usually settles quickly, and our team provides clear guidance for a comfortable recovery.

Can I whiten my porcelain veneers later if I change my mind?

Porcelain veneers do not respond to teeth whitening. We match shade before treatment; if you later change your tooth colour, replacing veneers is usually the recommended option for a consistent appearance.
