Start The New Year In Style With MAC Veneers For Patients In Liverpool

January 2nd, 2013

January is a time of year when many of us vow to make a big change in our lives, whether it is to lose weight or finally fix a dental problem. If you’ve spent the last few years with a smile you’re less than happy with now is the time to make a change at the renowned Liverpool Implant & Aesthetic Dental Spa.

If your teeth are stained or discoloured, chipped, fractured or worn, MAC Veneers are a great choice to improve the quality of your smile. The veneers are made using a revolutionary pressed ceramic technique to make them more resistant to staining and chipping, with the added benefit that they can last three times longer than ordinary veneers.

Veneer treatment

This treatment might be right for you if you have gaps between your teeth or where crookedness or misalignment is present. You will receive a beautiful, straight smile with not an ounce of the hassle of orthodontic treatment, which can last many months or even years! Following your initial consultation, the veneers will be fitted in just two visits to our dental spa.

During the procedure, we will first etch the teeth which are to receive veneers and take impressions and photos of them. These and other details related to your preferred shape and colour of veneer are sent to the MicroDental Laboratory in California, where the veneers were invented and continue to be manufactured. On your second visit we will clean your teeth and perform any mild preparatory treatments if necessary, before transforming your smile during what is a short treatment process.

Some time may pass between your first visit and your fitting as we await the return of your new teeth. This is because MicroDental Laboratory is the sole provider of these veneers and do not have a ready-made stock of veneers at their disposal. The company prides itself in hand-tailoring each set of veneers to suit individual patients, and we are here to ensure the experience of their fitting is just as good. Contact Liverpool Dental Spa in Liverpool for more information.
