Considering Porcelain Veneers in Macclesfield or Cheshire?
If you're considering porcelain veneers in Macclesfield or the surrounding Cheshire area, choosing the right clinician is about more than finding the closest dental practice.
At Buxton Dental, principal dentist Dr Craig Walsh combines postgraduate education in porcelain veneers, occlusion and aesthetic dentistry with a background in dental technology.
Our practice is in Buxton, Derbyshire, and we welcome patients from Macclesfield, Prestbury, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Knutsford, Poynton, Congleton and surrounding Cheshire communities.
What should I consider before travelling to Buxton for veneers?
Look for relevant veneer training, discussion of irreversible preparation and a practical plan for reviews. Buxton Dental is based at 2-3 Belmont Terrace, Buxton SK17 6DZ, welcoming patients from Knutsford, Poynton, Congleton and across Cheshire. Treatment usually involves three to four planned visits, with further reviews as needed.
Does having a dental technician qualification help with veneers?
Ask how your dentist plans tooth form, ceramic shade and laboratory communication. Dr Craig Walsh is a qualified dental technician as well as a dentist, so his background helps him discuss material choices, translucency and restoration design with the ceramist. This supports planning, but does not guarantee a particular result. Read about our porcelain veneer treatment.
