Your smile makeover – the composite veneers way
More and more people are asking for full smile makeovers from our cosmetic dentists here at Smileworks. But the most exciting thing is that advances in technology mean that traditional porcelain is not the only option available to you. This article is about getting a full set of composite restorations. Take a look here to see our main veneers page and to find out more about getting traditional porcelain veneers.
Popularity of the ‘celebrity smile makeover’
In recent years celebrities, reality TV shows and big name local celebs here in Liverpool have made the ‘smile makeover’ something that more and more people want. Although great improvements to your smile can be made with braces or even simple whitening, many people are not suitable or need something a little more.
If you’re self-conscious about your smile or not happy with a number of different aspects of your smile then a smile makeover might be for you. This is where some of the front 6 teeth (what dentists call the social six) can be treated with composite resin. Alternatively all of the front teeth can be treated for a complete smile restoration.
Composite makeover vs traditional porcelain
up until fairly recently, a smile makeover was done with porcelain. This involved the existing teeth being drilled under local anaesthetic into a special shape to which the restorations are attached. The veneer ceramics would be made by a ceramist and the whole process would normally take a month or so and cost anywhere between £5,000 and £10,000. Remember that veneers last for between 10-20 years so the total cost of the work you’d need in a lifetime could be as much as £20,000. For more information on the cost of this procedure over your whole lifetime and an accurate breakdown of prices see our article veneers cost below.

However recent advances in composite technology have changed things significantly and now composite veneers are a much more accessible option for most patients.
Benefits of full mouth composite restorations
With composite veneers, the underlying teeth do not need to be touched with the dentists drill. This mens no injections and no damage to your healthy smile. With composite resins the work can also be done in one day and there is no need for lab-work or temporary veneers while you wait. But the best benefit for some patients is the price. A full set of composite veneers can cost as little as £2,500. The veneers may still need replacing after between 5-8 years but the lifetime cost for you is significantly cheaper.
Your Smile Makeover Procedure
The procedure for full mouth composite veneers is simple. You just make an appointment to see your cosmetic dentist and they will do a full mouth health check and make sure that no initial work needs to be done. Then the dentist gets to work and your new smile can be completed the same day. Composite veneers are made by your dentist at Smileworks and our talented dentists can work quickly and ensure beautiful, lifelike results that you’ll be proud to show off.
