Cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as teeth whitening, composite bonding and veneers are becoming increasingly popular, with more people seeking ways to enhance their smile and boost their confidence.
However, rising concerns about ‘Turkey Teeth’ and unnatural enhancements can lead patients to question whether dental veneers are for them. Enter: Feather Veneers, the non-invasive, natural-looking option that requires minimal work before application!
In this article, we will explore the rise of ultra thin veneers, discussing Bespoke Smile’s unique Feather Veneer technique, the benefits of Feather Veneers over other veneer types, and the Bespoke Smile Feather Veneers process.
This minimally invasive, hand-crafted veneer technique is becoming increasingly popular among dentists and patients alike, and has attracted dentists from around the world to our Academy, where they learn directly from our founder, Dr. Sam Jethwa, 19th President of The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Patients no longer want unnatural-looking veneers that make a drastic change to their smile. Instead, they want to opt for a more subtle option that creates a more natural, demure smile. Bespoke Smile’s unique approach offers patients an alternative to the traditional porcelain veneers found elsewhere. Unlike bulky, thick veneers that require significant tooth preparation and cause damage to healthy enamel, Feather Veneers are made from ultra-thin porcelain, just 0.3 – 0.5mm, crafted in-house at our own ceramics lab. Each veneer is layered by hand by our master ceramist, avoiding any generic or digital manufacturing processes.
This innovative process means there is minimal tooth preparation or drilling, if any at all, so we are able to preserve the natural health and integrity of your teeth.
Why Choose Feather Veneers?
As we’ve already mentioned, Feather Veneers are the ultra thin veneers option offered at Bespoke Smile, and they are fast becoming our most-requested treatment! Let’s explore some of the benefits of Feather Veneers:
- Crafted from 0.3-0.5mm ultra-thin porcelain, requiring minimal custom-blend shades to mimic your natural teeth’s tooth anatomy.
- Creates a more natural-looking, demure smile
- Longer lasting than traditional veneers
- Enhances facial features instead of highlighting asymmetries
Our Feather Veneers process includes our unique Smile Sculpting technique, which means patients get complete control over the way the veneers look and feel for a truly personalised result. Our dentists hand paint each veneer to complement your unique facial proportions and natural anatomy. By allowing our patients to ‘live in’ their trial hand-painted veneers for a few days with our Trial Smile process, we are able to test drive the veneers smile and make sure the look and function are exactly what our patient wanted for their bespoke smile.
What Makes Feather Veneers Unique?
Feather Veneers are designed to eliminate common problems associated with traditional veneers, such as bulkiness, excessive preparation, and an unnatural finished look. Unlike traditional veneers that often require aggressive tooth preparation, Feather Veneers are ultra-thin and require minimal to no preparation, preserving your natural teeth.
The Feather Veneer Process
Following years of research and development, and function are exactly what our patient wanted for their bespoke smile.
Over the last decade, we have refined this technique into a world-class system with unrivalled results.
- Personalised smile assessment: We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals and facial proportions. Each veneer’s shape, size, and colour is designed by hand using our bespoke Smile Sculpting method.
- Trial Smile design: Our expert dentists craft a Trial Smile, ensuring the veneers are tailored to your facial structure. Unlike traditional methods, this step allows the
partnership ofthe patient and their dentist to have full control over the final outcome.
- Handcrafted by a master ceramist: Our master ceramist then replicates the dentist’s design, layering porcelain by hand to create lifelike, natural-looking veneers.
- Multi-unit fitting technique: The Feather Veneers are then bonded to your teeth, ensuring a strong, long-lasting, and demure smile.
