Veneers

Veneers

Veneers are slim coverings designed to conceal stains, chips, decay, or imperfections on the front surface of teeth. A dental technician crafts a customized shell from special materials based on a model provided by the dentist. As veneers involve removing some enamel, they are generally considered permanent. It is advisable to follow your dentist's guidance on avoiding foods and beverages that may stain the veneers. While there is a risk of chipping or cracking, the end results often justify the procedure, leaving many individuals delighted with their enhanced smile.

Veneers offer a cost-effective option compared to pricier crowns. While porcelain veneers may involve several appointments, they have a longer lifespan and offer more color stability than bonding.

Reason for Veneers

  • To achieve a uniform, white, beautiful smile.

  • Correcting crooked teeth.

  • Reshaping misshapen teeth.

  • Addressing severely discolored or stained teeth.

  • Adjusting teeth that are too small or large.

  • Closing unwanted or uneven spaces.

What does the Veneers Procedure Involve?

We will thoroughly discuss the desired aesthetic outcome, capturing multiple photographs, teeth measurements, and diagnostic impressions. An esthetic lab will provide a "wax up" to visualize the final look of the veneers.

 

After receiving the wax-up, we will do a trial fitting to see how the veneers will appear in your mouth. If adjustments are needed, a second fitting may be required. Once we are content with the wax-up, we proceed with the actual treatment. During this visit, local anesthetic will be administered, and the teeth will be minimally prepared and impressions taken.

 

The final shade will be confirmed, and temporary veneers will be fitted while the case is sent to the lab. Subsequently, the temporary veneers will be replaced with permanent ones. If the fit, shade, or shape is unsatisfactory, adjustments can be made at the lab. If all is well, the teeth and veneers' surfaces will be cleaned and treated for a strong bond before cementing and curing with a special light.

 

Remember to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups to preserve your new smile. A nightguard might be recommended to prolong the veneers' lifespan.

Veneer FAQ

What are the advantages of dental veneers?

Preparing veneers involves minimal removal of tooth structure, preserving the majority. Veneers greatly enhance teeth aesthetics, and gums typically react positively to them. The color can be tailored to match existing teeth, and these restorations are highly resistant to staining.

How long do dental veneers last?

Well-crafted and precisely positioned porcelain veneers, done by a skilled cosmetic dentist, can endure for 10-15 years. These veneers only need routine care such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.

How strong are veneers? Are there restrictions on what I can eat?

Porcelain veneers are highly durable. However, since porcelain is a type of glass, it can crack under excessive force. To maintain them, it is recommended to refrain from chewing ice, hard nuts, candy apples, and popcorn. While natural teeth can be damaged by these foods, porcelain veneers, although tough, are not invulnerable.
