Braces Or Veneers? What’s The 21st Century Answer?

In a world that is increasingly image conscious, we all want to look our best.

Good hair, great clothes, gorgeous skin, what about your smile?

5-10 years ago, the solution would be to place maybe 8-10 porcelain veneers on the upper teeth and maybe the same on the lower teeth. A porcelain veneer is a thin layer of porcelain that is made by a skilled technician that is stuck to the front surface of the tooth. It can make a discoloured tooth or heavily filled tooth look like a natural tooth and no one would know that they aren’t your natural teeth.

Many thousands of smiles have been transformed by porcelain veneers and they certainly have a place in modern dentistry. However, a set of veneers don’t last forever and will need to be replaced about every 10 years. Every time this is done a little bit more of your tooth may be removed, in the end, you may need more extensive treatment.

Many people who want to improve their smile already have lovely teeth, just not in the right place and increasingly we have to ask ourselves if cutting these teeth is the right thing to do. The move is now away from veneers if the teeth have no fillings, are a good shape and good colour, it is much better to move the teeth into the right position and maybe whiten and tidy up the edges.

Oh no, not ugly metal braces????????

Thinking about facial aesthetics but not sure if it’s right for you?

At Evolve, everything starts with a conversation.

During your consultation, Yasmin will take the time to understand:
 • what you’d like to improve
 • how you want to look and feel
 • whether treatment is the right option for you

For some patients, treatment is the right next step.
For others, it might be something for the future - or not needed at all.

Our approach is always honest, supportive and centred around you.

If you’re curious about facial aesthetics, we’re here to help you explore your options with confidence.

What is digital dentistry?

In this video, Richard explains how modern digital technology has changed the way we plan and deliver dental treatment.

Using digital scanners, we can create precise 3D images of your teeth without the need for traditional impressions. This makes the process more comfortable for patients and helps us plan treatment with a high level of accuracy.

It’s just one of the ways we use modern dentistry at Evolve to improve the patient experience.
