Chloe Sims of TOWIE fame fame to see Dr Maurice Johannes at the Harley Street Smile Clinic because she was very unhappy with the appearance of her teeth.  Chloe had sucked her thumb when she was younger which cause the protrusion she had at the front.  The protrusion was slightly reduced when we placed veneers and bridgework on her upper and lower teeth to perfect her smile.  Chloe was very particular about what she wanted to achieve with her smile.  She wanted to have very big, very white, straight teeth, with little or no definition on the tips of her veneers.  It is not in the least bit common to request veneers to be made in this way, but it was Chloe's preference to have them like this.  She is over the moon with the results of her treatment, and is now happier than she has ever been with her smile.  Chloe was a very nervous patient but her experience here has taken away a great deal of her fear, which has been a real bonus to her having her teeth done.

Do porcelain veneers feel like natural teeth?

Do Porcelain Veneers Feel Like Natural Teeth?
Porcelain veneers have helped many people transform an unattractive smile. Wafer-thin shells of porcelain are used to cover chipped, crooked or stained teeth, hiding imperfections and creating a beautiful, straight, white smile. When porcelain veneers are designed and placed by a highly skilled cosmetic dentist who understands both the art and science of veneers, the results can be absolutely dramatic. When they are done poorly, though, the results can be disappointing.

One issue is thickness. Veneers that feel or look too thick can cause problems, not the least of which is an unnatural look. Choosing an experienced cosmetic dentist is the first step in ensuring your get the results you want. Porcelain veneers should not look all one color. Natural teeth have tiny variations in color and when the best porcelain is chosen for your veneers it also has such subtle color changes.

At first you may notice the presence of your veneers, especially if they are made slightly different shapes from the teeth they are covering. If they are filling a small gap, for example, you will at first be aware of the gap being covered and your tongue may keep checking the different feel. That would be the case too if any veneers are slightly longer than the teeth. But you would quickly become accustomed to the new feel.

Cosmetic dentists who are skilled at creating porcelain veneers take into account a variety of factors, such as color variances, shading, surface texture, and a smooth gumline transition for the very best results. If you are serious about improving your smile, choose cosmetic dentists who focus on your dental health and attractiveness.

Keeping a “Natural” Smile with Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells fitted over one or more teeth to cover gaps, stains, mild crookedness or uneven sizing. They have moved front and center in recent years as a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure, due in large part to makeover shows on TV. Today many people choose not just to fix one dental issue, but to have an entire Smile Makeover. Porcelain veneers are often a central part of a smile makeover, giving a beautiful, natural resolution to crooked, small, discolored, or misshapen teeth.

Best of all, porcelain veneers offer a Hollywood smile in as little as two office visits – a big reason busy people choose veneers to solve their smile issues.

Dr. Jamie Sands and Dr. Jason Sands combine an artistic eye with years of cosmetic dentistry experience. Their skillful work with porcelain veneers can give you a stunning, natural smile. Because tooth enamel has subtle variations in its color, the porcelain used in crafting veneers is blended from different colors and your cosmetic dentist will choose the blend most closely matching your teeth. When combined with tooth whitening, the results can be dramatic.

With regular home oral care veneers last for years, are highly stain-resistant, and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. You will look younger and feel better, but only you and your dentist will know why. To find out if porcelain veneers are an option for you, please schedule a consultation with Smiles By Sands in Studio City, California.

The Harley Street Smile Clinic are proud to say that yes the veneers do feel like natural teeth, except a little smoother! As teeth are only prepped on the front surface, the teeth will feel pretty mich the same from the back so there should be no obvious change to the feel of your teeth. In cases where someone has had a lot of protrusion to their teeth, suddenly they will feel different at the front. You may feel your lip sits in a more relaxed position than before as your teeth are not being used to rest the lip on.

From Ordinary to Dazzling

Porcelain veneers are a dramatic breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry. In the hands of a skilled cosmetic dentist, veneers can transform worn, misshapen, broken and discolored teeth into the most naturally beautiful smiles possible. Veneers are conservative dentistry that can make dramatic changes in your smile. Often, porcelain veneers provide a completely improved and dazzling smile in just a few appointments. You may also benefit from Lumineers by Cerinate — porcelain veneers that offer a painless way to a permanently whiter and perfectly aligned smile. Your dentist can apply these contact lens-thin “smile shapers” to your teeth without any grinding of your natural tooth structure, transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile. Lumineers can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to replace them.

The Harley Street Smile Clinic offer both the No Prep veneers (Lumineers) and the Minimal Prep veneers for their patients. Usually a case may involve a combination of veneers where some teeth have to be prepped in order to reduce protrusion say, and then there are teeth that are already set back in the mouth and do not need to be prepped at all as they need to be built forward. Lumineers really only work on teeth that have no overlap, or no protrusion. As they just stick to the natural tooth, if there is any crookedness, they are not likely to look that good as they may have to be a lot thicker in some areas to align them perfectly with each other.

The Harley Street Smile Clinic agree it is a difficult job fnding the right cosmetic dentist. In London cosmetic dentistry is a fast growing industry and there are more and more practcies to choose from. Cosmetic dentistry is not a Specialised field in the UK and as such any dentist can call themselves a cosmetic dentist. This makes it even more challenging finding the right dentist for the job. There is such a big difference in the quality of cosmetic dentistry offered in this country. It is up to you to make sure whoever you choose to veneer your teeth has the relevant experienced required to carry out the work to the standard expected. Check their credentials, their level of experience, the number of porcelain veneers they have fitted in their careers, testimonials from their patients, before and after photos of the work they have personally carried out, and whether they concentrate solely on cosmetic work.
