How much do veneers cost at Freshdental?

Veneers at Freshdental start at £899, and will depend on your desired results, and whether you decide to go for porcelain veneers or composite veneers. Both are great options!

Do you offer payment or finance options for veneers?

Yes. The highest quality dental care can be expensive and we want to be able to help as many people as possible achieve the smile of their dreams, so we offer interest free dental finance, our own practice dental plan, as well as a family and friends discount. 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.

What are traditional metal braces?

Traditional metal braces consist of metal brackets and wires that apply continuous pressure to straighten teeth over time. They are the most common and reliable orthodontic treatment option.

Why Choose Traditional Metal Braces?

Metal braces have been used in orthodontics for decades and continue to be one of the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for straightening teeth. Modern advancements have made them smaller, more comfortable, and more aesthetically appealing than ever before.

Why Metal Braces Are Ideal for Kids

Effective for All Cases – Works well for simple and complex orthodontic issues.

Lower Cost Compared to Other Options – More budget-friendly than clear aligners or ceramic braces.

Less Responsibility for Kids – Unlike removable aligners, metal braces stay in place, reducing the risk of loss or damage.

Fun Customization Options – Kids can choose different coloured elastics to make their braces unique.

How Do Traditional Metal Braces Work?

Metal braces consist of small brackets attached to the teeth and connected by a thin archwire. These components work together to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions over time.

The Treatment Process

Initial Consultation – Our orthodontist assesses your child's teeth and bite alignment to determine if traditional metal braces are the right option.

Braces Placement – Brackets are bonded to the teeth, and a wire is threaded through them to start the movement process.

Regular Adjustments – Every few weeks, the wire is tightened to continue guiding the teeth into alignment.

Completion & Retention – Once the teeth are aligned, braces are removed, and retainers are provided to maintain results.

Frequently asked questions about early orthodontics at Freshdental

Are metal braces better than clear braces?

Metal braces are typically more durable and cost-effective than clear or ceramic braces. However, clear braces are less noticeable, which some patients prefer for aesthetic reasons.

Can I eat normally with metal braces?

Some foods, such as sticky candies, hard nuts, and popcorn, should be avoided to prevent damage to the brackets and wires. Soft foods are recommended, especially after adjustments.
