Ten top veneers

[BK]

I am looking to get veneers on my top teeth, when I smile you can see 10 top teeth so I would need 10 right? I am unsure of what type of veneers I want also.

Is there any type of veneer that will very slightly bulk up my top teeth/make them a bit bigger as my smile isnt that big. Also if i get veneers on my top teeth will the shade match the bottom teeth? I don't want two different shades on top and on bottom.

How long will it take start to finish to fit veneers as I live in Scotland and will need to take time out from work to come and visit. I would like to spread the cost over 10 months is this possible and will interest be added onto that?

Could you give me a rough estimate of how much I could be paying for 10 top veneers?

Hi,
Thank you for your question.

To achieve the best aesthetic result, if ten top teeth are visible when you smile, then it may be better to consider ten veneers. Having said this you really need to be seen clinically and be assessed as sometimes with less veneers the same reult can be achieved.

To match the colour of the veneers with the colour of the bottom teeth is not a problem and can be done.

To minimise the thicknees of the veneers and bulkyness of the teeth, very strong type of porcelain veneers should be used. So thinner veneers can be placed on the teeth with no or minimal tooth reduction and at the same time having high strength /strong veneers in thin layer. The best types are Lumineer or Emax porcelain veneers. Lumineers cost £495 each and Emax veneers £475 each at Pearl Dental Clinic. There is also one year zero percent finance option available.

The number of visits will depend on the case and whether you wish to consider trial smile before having the veneers made for you. All together we are taking 3-4 visits.

My suggestion would be to come and see us for a free consultation and considering your case in more detailes, once they are clinically assessed, and get the best advice. Then make a decision about your choices and treatment plan/options and follow it.
