Chipped Old Veneers, Uneven Gum Levels

The Problem

Laura had been unhappy with the appearance of her 5 old veneers for quite some time. They were placed when she was 13 so were 15 years old when she came to see us at The London Smile Clinic.

The Solution

Eight new veneers were placed and a gum lift procedure on two teeth gave Laura her new improved smile.

The Interview

What motivated you to change your smile?

I had 5 veneers when I was 13 on the NHS after being told I could not have a brace. I chipped one of them when I was 18 and over time my gums receded and the veneers were in bad condition. I decided it was time to bite the bullet and get my new teeth sorted.

What treatment did you have?

A gum lift on 2 teeth and 8 veneers.

How did you feel during the process, was your treatment comfortable?

I fell asleep during two of my appointments so I must have been pretty relaxed!

How do you feel about the result, did it match or exceed your expectations?

I’m really pleased it has exceeded my expectations.

Is it something you would recommend to family and friends?

Definitely.

How has your new smile changed your life, what difference will it make to you?

I keep saying to my friends “look at my teeth” and pulling a snarling face at them so they can get a closer look. I am so much more confident with my smile and laughing, which I now like to do a lot.

Sum up your experience in one word:

Transformative

How did the team contribute to your experience?

Everyone was really friendly, the reception staff always remembered me and it felt like a friendly and relaxing place to be

What our patients say

Talal

The crème de la creme of dentists globally. I’ve been to many practices around the world. This is the best of the best hands down.

Adam

Fantastic service, personable staff & excellent follow-up/care. Highly recommend!

Christopher

Orthodontic treatment, whitening and bonding. My journey started a little over a year ago. At the age of 55 i had given up hope of ever having a smile to be proud of. On arriving i was greeted with friendly smiling faces from the lovely girls at reception, instantly putting me at ease, shown to a relaxing bright waiting room. Long story short, after the magical treatment from all the team Dr Sharma, Anna, Bonnie and Michelle i now have the most amazing smile. I can never thank you enough for what you have given me, after 15 years my partner now has a man who can smile at her and with her x

Sue

Always a positive experience at the London Smile Clinic, from the welcome at Reception to the consultation and treatment from the dentists, specialists and hygienists. The best dental treatment I've ever received.

Lily

I had veneers done, the result is excellent, the team was super supportive all along. Highly recommend!

S C

Had a total of 22 veneers, top and bottom, to replace my 22 year old ‘yellow’ top 6 veneers and make the bottom ones match. A lot of work, but Dr Tim is very patient in getting you the result you want. The before and after photos say it all…

Ali

Bonnie was so caring, knowledgeable, forthcoming and thorough. Can’t recommend her and The London Smile Clinic enough ! Best hygienist in the UK !

Colin

Sonia is genuinely, hands down, the best dentist I've seen. Plus, the Clinic has some tremendous gadgets there. Which, as they were 22 years ago when I first visited, keeps them ahead of any other dentistry practice ive come across. They do dentistry really well and make it as pleasant an experience as possible. They fixed my smile 22 years ago with veneers, and the first one only came off recently. All the more impressive as I am rather careless with my teeth at times and I am a tooth grinder when I sleep. Cant fault them - even if they are not exactly cheap - but well worth it, So 5 stars from me.
