A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again. The
porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth with
a thicker section replacing the broken part.Bonding:
Sometimes instead of a porcelain veneer, a natural colour ‘composite’ material is used. A natural-coloured filling material can be used for minor repairs to front teeth like chipped or broken tooth corners.

The National lockdown started on 6th January 2021
As an essential medical center, we are open regular hours and encourage all our patients to keep their regular appointments.
We have been following strict protocols for Infection Control and Sterilization in the practice
These include
– Fit tested and tried Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all treating dentists and nurses.
– Masks and Visors for all the team members
– Social distancing in the practice for team and patients
– Patients allowed only with appointments.
– Temperature checks for all people entering the practice. If that is above 37C, you are advised to rebook
– Treatment rooms fitted with air purification systems which are working very well
– All surfaces disinfected and sanitized thoroughly before and after any appointment session
– Very high standards of sterilization and cross infection control
Please continue to attend your appointments as planned including hygiene treatments. If you are worried about attending your appointment, you can get in touch with us on 01256 893 517 and we can address those concerns and reschedule your appointments.
We have an effective triage policy for patients with emergency dental concerns where our dentists speak to you on a phone call before booking you in.
We advise all our patients to fill the health screening form sent to them before any appointments and let us know if they have or in contact with anyone who has any symptoms or the infection.
If you are in the high-risk category or are shielding, we advise rescheduling your appointments. Please wear masks at all times when you come in practice until you are asked to remove them.
We are still prioritizing appointments for patients with emergency dental concerns and treatments only. General examination/checkup appointments are not offered at the moment, but we aim to start those soon.
Please stay safe and let us know if you have any queries.
Kind Regards,
Team Dental Concepts.
