Dental veneers treatment process

Dental veneers are a quick and effective solution for enhancing your smile.

1

Consultation & planning

During your first visit to Thornhill Dental Centre, you'll discuss your goals and expectations with your dentist. They will examine your teeth and determine if veneers are a suitable option. This may involve taking X-rays, impressions, and photos of your teeth.

2

Preparation

Your dentist will prepare your teeth for veneers. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the surface of the teeth to ensure a proper fit. Impressions of your teeth are taken ready for your custom veneers to be made.

3

Fitting and adjustments

Once your custom veneers are ready, your dentist will check their fit and appearance, make any necessary adjustments, and then bond them to your teeth using a strong adhesive.

4

Final touches

After the veneers are bonded, the dentist will polish them to ensure a smooth, natural finish.

LUMINEERS

Lumineers at Thornhill Dental Centre

Our team uses lumineers by Cerinate - ultra-thin, custom-made translucent shells perfectly match natural teeth for a stunningly genuine smile.

The best part? Unlike traditional veneers, lumineers involve no injections, drilling, or pain, as there’s no need to remove any of your natural tooth structure. This means you get a beautiful, strong smile while keeping your teeth intact and they can even be applied to existing crowns and bridgework.

The lumineers treatment process

You can achieve a brighter smile with lumineers in just a couple of visits to our Cardiff practice, following your initial consultation and planning.

1

Impressions & photos

At the first visit, impressions and photos of your upper and lower teeth are taken. If necessary, small modifications to the teeth may be made to achieve the best results.

Custom-making your lumineers

The impressions are then sent to the Cerinate lab in the UK, where models of your teeth are created and individual custom-made lumineers are fabricated for each tooth being treated.
