Veneers

A veneer is a thin layer of tooth coloured porcelain that is glued onto a tooth to alter the colour or look of the tooth but it will not affect the strength of the tooth (unlike a crown/cap). It is very similar to a false nail, as a veneer is very weak until it is glued onto the tooth.

The process of making a veneer is very similar to a crown. The tooth needs to be shaped to allow the veneer to fit, this means removing far less tooth than for a crown.

Not every tooth is suitable for a veneer, sometimes a crown is better and we would be pleased to advise you on your best option.

Testimonials
I recently had a fissure seal put in by my dentist (Boyd Jamieson) because there were little crevices in my teeth that were likely to get decayed. The fissure seal seals these crevices and ensures that it's less likely to decay. He cleaned my tooth, and then put some funny tasting gel on my tooth (just don't put your tongue on it!). They hardened it with some blue light for a few seconds and voila! It wasn't painful in any way and it was quick and easy! It made me feel happier about my teeth and I wasn't worried about decay any more!

If you’re thinking of having a dental Implant done, don’t hesitate, just do it. My Dental Implant has improved my quality of life, I can smile with confidence & eat my favourite steaks. I think my Dental implant was value for money.

My teeth were never really straight and so in the late months of 2008 my dentist (Boyd Jamieson) suggest having a brace put in, as there was not enough room in my mouth for all my teeth. I leaped at the chance to straighten out my teeth. We arranged a date for the brace to be fitted and a few teeth to be removed, after seeing that I had one more than I was supposed to! Over the next 15 months or so I simply went in every 4-5 weeks to have the brace tightened and to have new wires put in, not a tiresome task at all. After the first couple of appointments, I never really noticed the brace even being there. After the brace was removed, moulds of my new teeth were taken to allow special retainers to be made to keep my teeth straight permanently. Like the braces, after a very short while I never even noticed they were there. I was extremely pleased with the braces and retainers, and the result of them both on my teeth.

At a check up, my dentist (Boyd Jamieson) spotted signs of tooth erosion caused by my jaw-clenching whilst asleep. He provided me with a splint (a custom-made gum shield) to wear at night which has prevented further erosion. It has also completely eradicated the regular migraines that I suffered from due to tension build up in the jaw.
