WHAT ARE VENEERS ?

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are attached to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They’re often made from porcelain or resin-composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth.

Veneers can be used to treat a number of different cosmetic concerns, including chipped, broken, discolored, or smaller-than-average teeth.

Some people may only get one veneer in the case of a broken or chipped tooth, but many get between six to eight veneers in order to create an even, symmetrical smile. The top front eight teeth are the most commonly applied veneers.

Did you know?

Porcelain veneers resist stains and mimic light reflection just like a natural tooth.

Veneers aren’t the same as tooth implants or crowns. Veneers cover the front surface of the tooth. Implants, on the other hand, replace the entire tooth. Crowns also encase the entire tooth, while veneers only cover the front surface of the tooth (which is visible with a smile).

Why choose veneers?

When   orthodontics is not an option, veneers may be the answer

Veneers stay securely attached to your teeth.

They are unlikely to affect the nerves within a tooth or weaken it

Similar to false nails, veneers are painless and easy to apply

Veneers can be used to close gaps between teeth

Will it hurt?

The process is similar to having a filling, so there should be very little discomfort.

What are the different types of veneers?

Dental veneers are most commonly made out of porcelain. Applying traditional dental veneers requires more intensive prep work compared to alternatives that are sometimes called “no-prep veneers.” These no-prep veneers — which include options like Lumineers and Vivaneeres — take less time and are less invasive to apply.

Applying traditional dental veneers typically involves grinding down the tooth structure, sometimes removing some of the tooth even past the enamel. This allows for proper placement, but it’s also an irreversible procedure that can be painful to go through and often requires a local anesthetic.

No-prep veneers, on the other hand, may require some tooth preparation or alteration, but these alterations are minimal. Instead of removing layers of tooth under the enamel, no-prep veneers only affect the enamel. In many cases, no-prep veneers don’t require local anesthetics.

What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?

Veneers are routinely used to fix:

·       Teeth that are discolored because of:

·       Root canal treatment

·       Stains from tetracycline or other drugs

·       Excessive fluoride

·       Large resin fillings

·       Other causes

·       Teeth that are worn down

·       Teeth that are chipped or broken

·       Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)

·       Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)

Dental Veneer Procedure ?

Getting a dental veneer usually requires three trips to the dentist – one for a consultation and two to make and apply the veneers. One tooth or many teeth can undergo the veneering process at the same time.

Dental Veneer Alternatives?

Alternatives to veneers include bondings and crowns. Veneers are a nice in-between option. Veneers may be your best choice if you want to change the shape of your teeth more than just a little bit, as is done with bonding, but not enough to require a crown.

Dental Veneer Aftercare?

Dental veneers do not require any special care. Continue to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash as you normally would.
