Veneers can help create uniform, white and beautiful smiles. Veneers improve the appearance of crooked teeth or misshapen teeth. Many patients opt for veneers if they have discoloured teeth or teeth which are too small or too large. Veneers also work well for patients who have gaps between their teeth or worn and chipped teeth. Veneers can be an excellent treatment option if your teeth are damaged.

Porcelain veneers are custom made with a master technician using the highest quality porcelain for the most naturally beautiful smile. Smile Hub Dental Clinic use the finest technicians in Ireland to deliver highly aesthetic smiles.

Composite veneers involves less tooth preparation and are more cost-effective. They’re ideal for young people following orthodontic treatment.

Durathin Veneers are ultra-thin yet strong, which allows for secure bonding without the necessity of invasive tooth etching required by other veneers. Durathin Veneers are expertly crafted and appear natural, while being able to improve and enhance the appearance of your smile.

This type of veneers require only the minimal amount of tooth preparation, meaning that the natural tooth surface is preserved and then further protected once the veneers have been bonded. Should Durathin Veneers be removed from the tooth surface after a period of time, the underlying tooth enamel and structure will retain its natural quality and appearance.

There is no discomfort with any Durathin Veneer procedures. Patients who experience dental phobia can have peace of mind when receiving smile makeover treatment with Durathin Veneers.

Individuals with misshaped, misaligned or small-sized teeth are good candidates for Durathin Veneers, if alternative orthodontic treatments are not more appropriate. The choice between Durathin Veneers and orthodontic care to correct bite and tooth misalignment will be decided based on the dentist’s diagnosis and assessment.

Durathin Veneers are an ideal treatment to close irregular gaps between teeth and to mask discoloured, stained or worn teeth. They give teeth what is a natural and balanced appearance when smiling. In some cases teeth whitening may also be an option before bonding the Durathin Veneers, so that all teeth are the same shade.

This type of veneer is crafted by the finest technicians to achieve the best aesthetic results. They change how an individual looks and feels about themselves, instantly improving self-confidence.

During an initial appointment to discuss your cosmetic and dental needs, this is the time to explore your expectations and examine what treatments may be most suitable.

If Durathin Veneers are decided to be the right option for your dental prescription, an assessment will be taken of your oral and facial contours. This is done using impressions, X-rays and photographs. These measurements are then used to create a trial smile for you, so that you can see what your new smile will appear like before the veneers are permanently fitted.

Each step of the way you are involved in the treatment process. In order to proceed with Durathin Veneers, the dentist will make sure that your gums and teeth are healthy. Following this the dentist will create moulds to be used in the development of your personalised Durathin Veneers. Once you have chosen the design and colour, the specifications are sent off to the Durathin Veneer Laboratory where they are made specifically for you.

In the meantime temporary veneers are fitted to your tooth’s surface, until your own Durathin Veneers are ready. There is usually a 3 to 4 week turnaround time before your Durathin Veneers arrive. When they arrive the veneers will be bonded to your tooth surface using dental resin and any necessary adjustments can be performed. On leaving the clinic you will have a smile to be proud of and a greater sense of attractiveness, confidence and pride in your appearance.

Durathin Veneers are designed to be ultra-thin, sleek and strong. Other types of veneers are usually thicker in design and patients have bulkier-feeling teeth. Other veneers also require a lot of preparation etching, which can permanently damage the natural teeth underneath. Durathin Veneers are incredibly thin and only require the smallest amount of tooth preparation, so that teeth not only look and feel natural within the patient’s mouth, but the natural teeth underneath are unharmed.

Made through a layered technique rather than through the use of pressed ceramics, Durathin Veneers are particularly suited to masking discoloured and stained teeth. A natural looking smile will always be maintained.

The first step is to contact the dentist for an assessment of your oral health, teeth condition and suitability for a Hollywood Smile. Issues such as severe malocclusion, irregular bite and teeth grinding may require orthodontic treatment, which is available at our clinic.

In some cases individuals may benefit from teeth whitening and invisible brace treatment, such as Invisalign. Before the process of cosmetic dentistry care, teeth will need to be cleaned and free of any infection.

Patients with tooth decay and gum disease may need appropriate treatment first, to ensure that teeth are healthy before the fitting of veneers. Teeth with stains or discolouration can also be masked with porcelain veneers, as can teeth that are chipped or cracked.

Caring for your Hollywood smile involves the usual dental hygiene routine, such as daily flossing and brushing, which you would use to care for natural teeth. Regular six month visits to the dentist should also be maintained.

The condition of the veneers will be assessed annually to ensure they look and feel their best. When you first receive your porcelain veneers for final fitting, the clinician will provide advice on their care, such as avoiding certain activities which can lead to fractures or de-bonding. Care should be taken when biting solid, hard foods and partaking in contact sports.

Bonded veneers, although secure, are not as sturdy as your natural tooth structure. The clinician may recommend wearing a night guard to protect veneers from potential teeth grinding.

There are some risks associated with veneers in that they can fracture, alter in shade or de-bond. Depending on how much tooth preparation is carried out, the natural underlying tooth structure can also become sensitive.

The dentist will advise patients on the risks inherent with veneers during an initial consultation. In more complex cases of tooth misalignment, invisible braces like Invisalign may be a more appropriate option to prevent the need for excess tooth preparation.

After having your final veneers fitted you cannot have the procedure reversed. The same applies to the Hollywood Smile, so considering veneer replacement costs and affordability is important when choosing porcelain veneers.

Depending on the white shade of the veneers chosen, it may be the case that your existing tooth colour does not match. Teeth whitening may be needed beforehand to enhance your smile.

Should you want an alternative option to a Hollywood Smile or if your oral health condition requires a different treatment, there is a great range of alternative smile makeover options to choose from. These include invisible braces, composite bonding, teeth whitening, tooth contouring and Lumineers.

Invisible braces like Invisalign are an ideal alternative to the Hollywood smile, suitable for patients with misaligned teeth in need of a teeth straightening solution.

Chipped, fractured, worn and unevenly spaced teeth are easily restored with composite bonding techniques. Tooth shape is sculpted into the perfect shape and shade, and involves no tooth preparation. Tooth shape can also be improved through tooth contouring.

Discoloured and stained teeth can be brightened for that white, healthy look, using teeth whitening procedures such as Zoom!, Power Teeth Whitening or clinician-supervised Home Teeth Whitening.

Lumineers are a dental and cosmetic solution for closing gaps between teeth and creating a uniform look where teeth are unevenly spaced. Treatment may require some tooth preparation and may not be an appropriate option for people with complex orthodontic prescriptions.
