Ultra Thin Veneers

What are Ultra Thin Veneers?

They are often referred to as no-prep veneers. No shaving of the natural teeth is required in many cases. Ultra thin veneers treatments are a part of our specialist dental services. They are the most popular choice of veneers amongst our patients. Learn more about how you can get finance for dental treatments.

We have all heard of or seen people with old-fashioned porcelain veneers. These veneers had to be thick to be strong enough and required more drilling of the natural tooth than would be ideal. Times have changed, and the goals now are to produce aesthetic results with Ultra Thin porcelain veneers, which require either minimal or no drilling of the natural tooth.

Why Ultra-thin Veneers from Bespoke Smile?

Ultra Thin veneers treatments from Bespoke Smile are 4x thinner than traditional veneers, more durable, and more aesthetic. We no longer place ‘traditional’ veneers, with our lead technician Dr. Sam Jethwa is at the forefront of the development of these ultra-thin porcelain veneers.

This means that the tooth tissue beneath the veneer will not be weakened. If you want to learn more about this technique, meet our patient care coordinators, or our cosmetic dentists – who are known for this treatment.

Benefits of Ultra Thin Veneers

Minimally invasive

Although the veneer treatment generally requires less tooth preparation than people often assume, the ultra-thin treatment demands even less. This reduces the likelihood of the teeth becoming weakened, especially since the ultra-thin veneers then provide a protective layer over the original teeth.

Long-lasting

The bonding stage of the treatment is carried out mainly on the outer surface of the tooth, meaning the bond is extremely high and the veneers are likely to last a long time (as long as they are cared for correctly).

Personalised smile

You can use ultra-thin veneers to adjust the colour of one tooth or to achieve a full smile makeover. Additionally, you can adjust the colouring and sizing of your teeth as desired. We do this via Dr Sam Jethwa’s trial smile technique.

No/little drilling

The drill is not used to make holes in any of your teeth, though it can be used to roughen the surface of the enamel which is one stage of the bonding process.

Minimal sensitivity

Since hardly any enamel has been removed, patients are less likely to experience post-op sensitivity after treatment.

Exceptional results

Our patients repeatedly leave our practice satisfied with their results and proud of their new smiles.

Additional Benefits of Ultra Thin Veneers

What are the benefits of Ultra Thin Veneers?

One benefit of having a minimally invasive treatment is that the treatment is more likely to last longer since the tooth structure beneath the veneer has not suffered any weakening. They are also 4x thinner than traditional veneers, meaning we can minimise or completely avoid drilling your teeth.

How long do Ultra Thin Veneers last?

If cared for correctly veneers can last up to 20+ years, but we say on average 10–15, and you will need to come to the dentist for normal regular check–ups, as one would without veneers, to ensure everything is healthy.

What Tooth Preparation is Required?

With ultra-thin veneers the teeth may require absolutely no shaving or drilling at all. These are known as ‘no-prep veneers’ and also means you won’t undergo anaesthetic, making them a good option for those who suffer from dental anxiety or phobias.

It is important to us that the tooth’s structure is not damaged during treatment, as the preservation of enamel will mean longer lasting results and reduce any risk of complications. However, you should keep in mind that like most of our treatments we promote a bespoke approach.

This means that the details of each treatment are case-specific since we want to find the perfect solution for your teeth rather than repeating the same procedure for all of our patients regardless of their needs.

Ultra-thin veneers are often between 0.2 and 0.5 mm in thickness, and since the application is extremely intricate, it is something that you would not want just any dentist attempting.

Our team of caring dental staff and skilled dentists at Bespoke Smile have a wide range of experience in multiple fields of cosmetic dentistry and are highly experienced in providing the optimum level of care for our patients.

Ultra-Thin Veneer Process & Procedure

The treatment process begins with a discussion between you and your dentist, Dr. Sam Jethwa comes highly recommended and has many years of practice in handcrafting and placing various kinds of veneers.

With the rise in popularity of veneers and impressive technological advances in dentistry more widely, varying types of veneers have emerged:

Together, whilst planning your treatment we will consider your goals and desires for your smile and discuss what treatment will be the best for you.

If necessary, ultra-thin veneers can be combined with alternative orthodontic treatments including teeth straightening. If you require teeth straightening, it may be beneficial to have this done before your ultra-thin veneer fitting. Book a consultation to find out if this.

Who Is The Ideal Patient?

It is important that your teeth are healthy and that you do not suffer from any health issues such as gum disease that may weaken your teeth. If that is the case, that is something we will always address before we place veneers, or during your treatment.

We have an on-site periodontist (gum specialist) who is part of our clinical team.

Ultra Thin Veneers FAQs

Are ultra-thin veneers good?

Ultra Thin veneers are tried and tested, and Dr Sam Jethwa placed more of these than most dentists in the world. We have thousands of examples but why not hear from those patients who have made the choice already?

When you choose ultra-thin veneers from Bespoke Smile, our dental practitioners can help you achieve your perfect smile with a minimally invasive, pain-free procedure. You’ll be able to see results fast and gain your confidence back!

With our 0% finance option, your monthly repayments could start from £16 a month. Each treatment plan and options are bespoke to each patient, but a typical repayment plan may look like:

• Veneer: £1200-£1500
• Deposit: £0
• Time: 24 months
• Monthly repayment: £50

Traditional veneers were around 1-2mm thick, however we have now developed ultra thin porcelain veneers that can be 0.3-0.5mm and are even stronger than before! Ultra Thin veneers from Bespoke Smile are 4x thinner than traditional veneers, more durable, and more aesthetic.
Our expert ceramists have custom-designed a unique blend of stunning porcelain veneers, making Bespoke Smile veneers consistent for 10–20 years (when maintained with regular hygienist visits and annual dental check-ups)
If ultra thin veneers have been used, which are kind to the teeth, and the patient has a healthy mouth, veneers can last far beyond 10 years. The important thing is to maintain veneers in the same way as natural teeth, and if they were replaced, the teeth underneath are intact and healthy, so another thin veneer can be used, rather than a full crown or dental implant
