Composite
Veneers

Composite veneers are an affordable and minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry option designed to beautify your smile. You can have brighter, whiter, and straighter teeth with minimal or no damage to your existing tooth structure. Composite veneers can be coloured matched to your existing teeth or we can create whiter teeth for you whilst still maintaining a natural realistic look and feel.

Composite Veneers are designed to cover the surface of your teeth in order to correct their appearance, shape, colour and position. Suitable for adults, teenagers, as well as even younger patients, the composite veneer process is more economical than for porcelain veneers, and the whole procedure is normally entirely reversible.

Dr William Zafiropoulos is able to correct your cosmetic concerns so that you can smile with confidence. Composite veneers effectively correct dental defects including chips, misaligned teeth and discolourations. We offer a 2 year guarantee on all our composite veneers.

Composite veneers will effectively correct

• Permanently stained or discoloured teeth
• Uneven, crooked teeth
• Broken, worn or chipped teeth
• Diastemas (spaces between teeth)
• Misshaped or poorly formed teeth

You will be able to visualise what your veneers will look like prior to proceeding with the procedure. The visualisation procedure doesn’t damage your teeth at all and works to help us custom design your composite veneers with your own personal input, creating composite veneers that are ideally crafted to your exact specifications.

We provide composite veneers that utilise an award winning IPS Empress direct system from Germany, which combines the aesthetics of ceramics with high surface gloss for a lasting and beautiful result (many dentists use inferior cheaper composites for veneers- these cheaper composites with poor shade choices are designed for fillings and not for composite veneers). Whereas most dentists use a single shade of composite ,Dr William Zafiropoulos uses multiple pulp, dentine and enamel shades to create a chameleon effect so as to mimic the appearance of real teeth

Traditional veneers maintain the original shape of your teeth but make them whiter, however at Classic Smiles we offer Extended (3 D) Veneers which change the shape and colour of your teeth. This three-dimensional change in shape is unique to each individual dentist and patient.

In this sense, the veneers provided by Classic Smiles are tailor made and unique to each individual patient. Unlike many other dentists who recreate a similar shape to your original set of teeth, we’ll go through your options and design the perfect smile for you; the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
