Align teeth the traditional way
Porcelain veneers are precision-crafted, durable porcelain shells custom made in a dental laboratory to fit your teeth, and are a popular choice for patients based near Rugby. They are carefully bonded to the front surface of the tooth using a high-grade ceramic adhesive and are used to refine the shape, colour and overall appearance of your smile.
Veneers are an excellent choice in those patients with fractured, heavily filled or highly stained teeth. They can also be used to make slight alterations in the alignment of your front teeth.
Why opt for porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers will change the aesthetics and colour of your teeth in a highly predictable and uniform way. The results can be outstanding.
They can be excellent when used in heavily filled teeth or those teeth with significant staining to completely transform their appearance.
They can also be used to correct slight issues with the alignment of your teeth if you are not interested in having orthodontic treatment.
What are the downsides of porcelain veneers?
The main disadvantage Is that the teeth will require some enamel shaving from their surface, this is irreversible and must be considered carefully before opting for this treatment.
Veneers can fracture, this will usually require a complete replacement of that veneer.
Veneers can stain, they will require excellent oral hygiene to maintain and regular hygienist appointments.
The gums can recede around veneers, over time your gums may recede away from your veneers, increasing the risk of staining and reducing the aesthetics of your veneers, they may then require replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
We are often asked many questions associated with our treatment, and the questions listed below form a selection of the most frequently asked. If you have any questions which do not appear in this list, please contact us.
You should have a high standard of oral hygiene before veneers. Which should include brushing twice daily with the correct method and cleaning in between your teeth. Once veneers have been placed you should pay meticulous attention to these areas.
You should generally try to avoid biting into very hard objects, to prevent fractures occurring in the porcelain.
If you grind your teeth at night, a mouth guard should be worn to prevent the bonding or veneers from fracturing.
Your diet should be healthy and the frequency of sugary or acidic foods should be kept to a minimum. Drinking dark beverages like tea, coffee and red wine as well as smoking can increase staining in veneers and teeth in general.
Regular cleaning with the hygienist can be helpful in maintaining the restorations.
With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and sensible habits, veneers can last many years. Longevity varies between individuals and depends on factors such as bite, grinding and overall dental care.
Veneer treatment is planned carefully to be as conservative as possible. In some cases, a small amount of enamel may need to be adjusted. Your dentist will explain what’s involved before any treatment begins.
Porcelain veneers are designed to blend with your natural teeth in colour, shape and proportion. While results vary, the aim is always to achieve a balanced, natural-looking smile that suits your facial features.
Veneers should be cared for like natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing and routine dental visits. Avoiding excessive biting forces and wearing a night guard if advised can help protect them long term.
