Speak to a friendly team member for more information.

How long will my veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last from 10–15 years in ideal situations and composite bonding veneers from 5–7 years, depending on brushing habits, aftercare, teeth grinding, and diet.

Can I have my teeth whitened if I already have veneers?

Unfortunately not! Because our teeth are porous, whitening products are easily absorbed, whereas veneers are made up of porcelain or composite material that won’t respond to whitening products. It’s a good idea to have your teeth whitened before you have your veneers fitted, because your veneers will be matched to the shade of your natural teeth.

Can veneers fall off?

It’s unlikely that your veneers will fall off, but it is possible to damage them if you experience any facial injuries or impact to your mouth or teeth, and if the natural tooth underneath the veneer develops a cavity, they can detach or need to be removed. We recommend you stay away from extremely hard foods that could chip or damage veneers, and make sure you keep your teeth and gums healthy to maintain your dental veneers as well as your overall oral health.

Retainers

After orthodontic treatment, the key to preserving your results is a high-quality retainer. Whether you've had braces or Invisalign, wearing a retainer ensures your teeth stay in their ideal position, preventing unwanted shifting over time. Retainers play an essential role in preserving the results of orthodontic treatment. At Freshdental, we offer both removable and fixed options based on your needs.

Why Are Retainers Important?

Retainers play a crucial role in maintaining your straight teeth and overall oral health. Once your braces or clear aligners come off, your teeth can gradually shift back to their original positions. A retainer helps stabilise your teeth, allowing the surrounding tissues and bones to adapt to their new alignment. Freshdental offers the most advanced retainers in Bayswater, ensuring your smile stays flawless.

Benefits of Wearing a Retainer:

Prevents teeth from moving back to their previous positions
Maintains your hard-earned orthodontic results
Supports overall oral health by ensuring a well-aligned bite
Reduces the risk of further dental treatment in the future

For the best retainers in Bayswater, choose Freshdental for exceptional service and expertise.

The Process: Getting Your Perfect Retainer

Getting a retainer is simple yet crucial for the long-term success of your orthodontic treatment. At Freshdental, we follow a detailed and patient-focused process to ensure you receive your retainers soon after compilation of your orthodontic treatment.

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

Your journey begins with a consultation with our specialist orthodontist, who will assess your teeth and discuss your lifestyle to determine the most suitable teeth retention solution in London. We consider factors such as:

Your orthodontic history
The level of correction achieved
Your preference for a fixed or removable retainer

Step 2: Digital Scanning & Impressions

Once we determine the right retainer for you, we take precise digital scans or impressions of your teeth. These are used to craft a custom-fit retainer that comfortably holds your teeth in place.

Step 3: Custom Manufacturing

Your retainer is then created using high-quality materials, ensuring durability and comfort. For fixed retainers, a thin wire is carefully shaped to fit the back of your teeth, while removable retainers are designed to fit snugly over your entire dental arch.

Step 4: Fitting & Adjustments

Once your retainer is ready, you'll visit Freshdental for a fitting session. Our specialist orthodontist will ensure it fits perfectly, make necessary adjustments, and guide you on how to wear and care for it.
