The veneers procedure itself is fairly straightforward. Patients typically need up to three appointments in order to get a full smile makeover. During the first consultation patients will be informed about each available option, and the treatment itself will be planned. The preparation and bonding procedures will be scheduled shortly after the initial consultation.
Direct composite veneers are typically completed in just one appointment. Many patients opt to have their teeth professional cleaned prior to the veneers being bonded to their teeth.
The dental veneers procedure always starts with thorough diagnostics, including digital X-rays and intra-oral and extra-oral images of your smile. These images will help to plan your veneers. It is important to note that dental veneers can only be bonded to teeth that are healthy and not in need of fillings or root canal treatments.
- An impression of your teeth will be made so that a study model of your smile can be created. This model will be used to make sure that your teeth are well aligned, and the bite is correct. To prepare the teeth for the veneers, the teeth are lightly buffed to allow for the small added thickness of the veneer. Usually, about half a millimetre of the tooth is removed, which may require a local anaesthetic. After the tooth is prepared, the dentist carefully bonds and sculpts the composite material onto your teeth. For ceramic veneers, a mould is taken of the teeth, which is sent to the laboratory for the fabrication of the veneers.
- Temporary veneers will be bonded to your teeth for up to two weeks, while the veneers are being fabricated.
- When your ceramic veneers are ready, the dentist places each veneer on the teeth to check their fit and get a sense of the shade or colour. Our dentists will double check the work to make sure that your veneers fit perfectly, feel comfortable and look beautiful. At this point, the colour of the veneers can still be adjusted with the shade of the cement to be used. The colour cannot be altered after veneers are cemented. You will be able to check the veneers in the mirror before fitting them permanently, to make sure that you are happy with them.
- To apply the veneer, the tooth is cleansed with chemicals to ensure a bond. A dental cement is placed between the veneer and tooth, and a light beam hardens the cement.

Amazing service. Dr. Erika Barta, thank you so kindly for the amazing work. I always feel nervous going into the dentist, but with the kind and caring way in which crown dental handles things, all the staff are so friendly and professional. Would reccomend crown dental to anyone needing a dentist. Thank you kindly.

January 6, 2020I was very lucky to come across Crown Dental 8 years ago. While other dentists were offering extremely complicated and unaffordable treatments, Erika came up with a much simpler and affordable solution to my issues. I have been going to Crown Dental all these years and have got all my dental work done there: crowns, extractions, cleanings and check-ups... I would definitely recommend Erika and her team in Crown Dental to anyone looking for a top quality, reliable and friendly dentist.

And also got implants and bridges done by Crown Dental. The staff is very helpful and professional. The environment is very relaxed, you don't feel going to the dentist 🙂 . I always recommend the clinic to my friends.

Done, two teeth filling here. Second one they had to redo because of their fault. During that second time I had to ask to stop drilling several times, because my jaw started uncontrollable spasms. After this rework pain became unstoppable and I had to remove nerves during vacation (spent 3 days for that). That doctor admitted that both fillings were made without the cofferdam, for cavities under them to grow and need to be redone. Also they've missed a big smelly cavity next to that tooth even while having 3!!! X-rays of that area. I don't recommend doing fillings there, because you will need to return soon for their upsale of veneer or expensive nerve removal. Also they are not cheap by any means.

I have been attending Crown Dental for over a year for general dentistry care, and most recently, the fitting of a Post and Core and Crown, under the excellent professional care of Dr. Erika Barta, Principal Dentist. Dr Erika is very thorough, meticulous and experienced, and explains each stage of the treatment at each visit, having first carried out a detailed examination (including X-Ray, where necessary), and explaining the treatment required. Her primary focus is on conservation and restoring the health and functioning of the teeth at minimum cost, and she does not suggest unnecessary additional treatment. She uses high quality and health-compatible dental materials and components in the treatment of her patients. The clinic is equipped with sophisticated and high-tech equipment. The clinic is bright and very hygienic, with extra Covid measures being adopted to provide maximum protection to patients and staff. Dr Erika's fees are very competitive. I highly recommend Dr Erika for her high quality, professional and caring treatment of her patients, where the patient feels reassured and completely at ease.

September 2, 2019I went for a check up at Crown Dental two weeks ago, after looking at my teeth for approximately 30 seconds the dentist told me I had been grinding my teeth therefore needing a mouthguard/splint and had three cavities. I was shocked as I had no prior issues with my teeth and was not experiencing any sensitivity. I was very distressed that my teeth had deteriorated so rapidly I wanted to get a second opinion. I went to a different dentist in Dublin and I was told my teeth were 100% fine. Therefore I would NOT recommend visiting this dentist.

Getting an Invisalign treatment done here. Erika and her assistant are extremely nice people, not once did I ever feel pressured into forking out lots of money like at other dentists. I would 100% recommend family and friends to at least have a check up here and you'll see that it's a positive and professional experience all round.

Dental Crowns
Dental crowns have become the standard for the protection of repaired teeth. They are durable, offer a wholly natural look, and will help to keep you smiling for many good years to come.
Inlays & Onlays
There are occasions where the decay or damage to a tooth may be too extensive to be treated with a simple filling, but not quite extensive enough to need the full-coverage of a crown. In these types of situations, the best option for tooth restoration may be to consider dental inlays or onlays.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a chemical process that works to remove surface and deep-surface stains on teeth. Professional teeth whitening include a whitening agent that breaks down to target the stains that are causing tooth discolouration giving you a sparkling white smile.
