Composite Bonding

After smile makeover treatments it is advised to have a soft diet for approximately 2 weeks whilst you get used to the new shape and feel of your teeth. During this 2-week period it is advised that the following foods are avoided to ensure no trauma or staining damages your new veneers:

• Beetroot
• Turmeric
• Red Wine
• Be cautious when eating hard foods such a apples or pizza crust.

*Remember, if it would stain a white T-shirt then it is likely to stain your veneers*

In general, there are two or three appointments with your dentist necessary to complete your journey to a new and confident smile.

SmileFast uses 3D-Augmented technology to design the perfect smile that is bespoke to you and fits your teeth and face perfectly. This begins at your first consultation with your dentist. The SmileFast team then manufacture a stent to temporarily place your new smile onto your own teeth so you get to see and trial your new smile before you make any further decisions.

Once you have seen and agreed the plan for your new smile then your dentist will arrange an appointment to have your teeth ready for placement of your new smile a few weeks later.

After any dental veneer treatments, it is advised that you return to your dentist for routine check-ups twice yearly. Regarding the health of your new restorations and your gums, we would recommend that you visit the Hygienist at least 3 times per year to ensure that your new smile is professionally cared for to the very best standard. Your dentist may also advise that you wear a thin protective shield over your teeth at night, called a night guard, which will protect your teeth from possible damage as a consequence of night grinding.

It is rare that either ceramics or composite veneers can be placed onto teeth without any tooth preparation at all, as in most circumstances there will be some minimal surface preparation of your underlying teeth. Gentle preparation is normal, safe and predictable, and is unlikely to affect the health of your teeth. Depending on whether you choose a composite or ceramic smile makeover option, there are slight differences in the way the teeth are prepared.
