Is this the right treatment for you?

Are you asking yourself, how do I know if porcelain veneers are right for me? Well, they can be a great option for you if:

A consultation with our team will help determine if veneers are the right choice for your specific needs and goals.

The Veneer Journey

What is the process for getting veneers?

The veneer journey consists of several steps, starting with an initial consultation to discuss goals and assess oral health. After determining if veneers are suitable, a personalised treatment plan is created, allowing you to preview your new smile. Next, your teeth are prepared, potentially needing minor reshaping, and impressions are taken for a precise fit.

How do veneers work?

Veneers are advanced dental technology designed to provide a cosmetic enhancement to the teeth. Crafted from high-quality materials like porcelain or composite resin, these ultra-thin shells are custom-fitted to each patient’s teeth using precise digital imaging and 3D modelling. This ensures an optimal match in colour, shape, and size. During the application process, a minimal amount of enamel is removed to allow the veneers to bond securely, creating a seamless look. For the patient, veneers offer a quick and effective solution to achieve a flawless smile, improving aesthetics while preserving the structural integrity of the natural teeth underneath.

Although a double appointment with the Hygienist is not my idea of fun, Rihanna and her Assistant were as usual very pleasant and took care to carry out the various procedures with care and ensure my comfort and provide good advice for future dental hygiene. Inverleith Dental practice can be recommended for care. .

I had a great experience at Inverleith Dentalcare. John McAleavey was very thorough during my check-up and used a camera system to create a 3D scan of my teeth, showing where plaque had built up, which was really helpful. Briana, the hygienist, did an excellent job, leaving my teeth feeling very clean. Overall, I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Inverleith Dentalcare, especially John and Briana.

I would very highly recommend the Inverleith Dental clinic. They are very professional and really knowledgeable. The admin staff is very helpful and will get you the information that you need to make a decision abo the best treatments you need. Dr. John McAleavy is excellent. He was also very knowledgeable about my TMJ issues and he was really understanding during the appointment and he sign posted me to the tools I needed; this made me feel that he cares about my progress and the best outcome for my case. Overall, I had a great experience and I can confidently say that will come back to Inverleith for any follow ups and future dental needs.

Highly recommend to anyone.

I met with Dr John McAleavey as a new patient for a consultation about my complex dental health situation. I'm a nervous patient and was instantly at ease on entering the practice. John really listened to my background story and quickly spotted the source of my problems that had been missed by other dentists. My assessment was the most rigorous I've ever received, yet very gentle. John took the time to explain everything thoroughly and clearly. I left the practice with a sense of peace that I'd found the answers I'd been seeking, and confident I was in the hands of expert professionals. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I was anxious before my first appointment with Inverleith Dental - my dentist of 25 + years had retired and I needed a practice nearer home - but I should not have worried!The welcome from the receptionist was lovely - The initial conversation with the dentist was very helpful - I learned about the ethos of the practice and felt I was being listened to - in addition this chat took place before the mouth examination so I was not in the reclining position which can put the patient at a disadvantage!The receptionist was most helpful with my mobility problems on leavingThe beautiful Georgian building is a bonus

I found Inverleith Dentalcare as I needed emergency dental treatment. They were very accommodating and managed to allocate an appointment the next day. Their service is second to none with professional and caring staff, dentists take the time to explain the procedure to the patient, and use modern standard techniques, materials and treatments. Worth every recommendation.
