Veneers can be a great solution if there are aspects of your smile which you would like to improve. In this age of Instagram, Facebook and smartphone cameras, you only ever seem to be a few minutes away from being in a snap and, like many people, you may feel uncomfortable with a gap in your teeth, discolouration, a chip or missing tooth.
Veneers can solve each of these problems, with a permanent (normally at least ten years) procedure which gives you a thin but incredibly hard porcelain covering to your front teeth creating that perfect smile. For some, veneers are a must have accessory; for others they are the answer to a problem which has nagged them for years.
Veneers are a tooth-by-tooth solution. So depending on your need, you can have a single veneer – say to cover up a chipped tooth, or complete upper and lower sets for your front teeth. There are also different veneer materials which may lend themselves better to certain budgets, or to what you are trying to achieve: composite veneers which are lower cost, and feldspathic or Emax porcelain veneers which cost more but provide a better finish and greater durability.

Book a free initial consultation with us to ask any questions by calling us on 0161 843 5711 or by using online booking service.

We will prepare your tooth or teeth for the veneer at our surgery in Salford, Greater Manchester. This normally requires a minor filing of your teeth which removes a thin layer of enamel so that the veneer can be attached. Don’t worry, there are no nerves in your enamel so it shouldn’t hurt.
Using a 3D scanner or soft putty tray we will take an impression of your mouth so that the veneer can be designed perfectly for you. We will supply you with a temporary veneer which you can use while the permanent veneer is created in the lab.
We invite you back in to have your permanent veneer fitted. We will use a strong dental glue to do this, fine-tuning the fitting so that it is just right.
There are a wide range of benefits to choosing veneers, both in the process itself and the end results:
Achieve a great smile, correcting any imperfections that had been playing on your mind.
Give your confidence a boost, and be ready for a photo whenever someone pulls out a camera.
The process is relatively quick, with just a few trips to the dentist required over several weeks.
You have a long-term fix, lasting years from the initial treatment.

Book a Free Veneer ConsultationVeneers are an excellent solution for many people but will not be right for everyone. If you have severe structural damage to your teeth they are unlikely to be appropriate. You will need to have good oral health before the treatment can begin. This means that if you have minor conditions such as mild gum disease or a cavity, these must be treated first.
Once you have veneers, you take care of them in much the same way as you would your regular teeth. Brush them twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, floss/use interdental brushes and take regular trips to the dentist.
Yes, depending on what you are trying to achieve there may be a range of alternatives to veneers.
We offer clear aligners at The Dental Sanctuary. So it could be that the most comprehensive alternative will be orthodontically straightening your teeth, which can improve the position and appearance of your teeth, followed by professional whitening, and composite edge bonding if required.
A minor chip, discoloration, or gap may be fixed by composite bonding. This is where a resin is applied to an affected tooth. It is quick and non-invasive.
To address stained teeth, professional teeth whitening or air polishing are also options. Ask us about these.
Crowns are another solution with similarities to veneers. A tooth-shaped cap is slotted over the entire visible portion of the target tooth to create the desired aesthetic and functional effect.
The entrance to the practice is via the pedestrian gate on Great Clowes Street at the front of the building.
The address is: The Dental Sanctuary, Victoria House, 122 Great Clowes Street, Salford. M7 1RN. We have noticed if you only put the postcode in, it may not take you straight to The Dental Sanctuary. Please ensure you enter ‘122 Great Clowes Street’. For more information, please read our FAQs here.
