They can be applied in cases where the objective is improve the appearance of teeth rather than repairing damage from tooth decay or trauma. Often times, a small amount of tooth enamel must be removed to prepare the surface of the tooth and allow enough space to place the dental veneer.

Veneers can be used on a single tooth or on multiple teeth. A full set can be applied to all visible front teeth if necessary. They are made to measure and designed to match the color of your existing teeth so they look completely natural.

They last between 5 and 20 years, or more, depending on the type and material. All types are designed to be very strong, so there should be no restrictions on what you can eat or drink once they are installed.

In this guide we will provide answers to some common questions including:


What are dental veneers used for?

Dental veneers can achieve several results:

Change tooth color

Sometimes teeth can be dull or yellowish in color, either naturally or due to lifestyle choices (smoking, coffee, wine, etc.). Tooth discoloration can also be the result of medical treatments (for example, repeated high-dose antibiotics as a child) or trauma that kills the nerves within. Traditional whitening treatments may give unsatisfactory results in some cases, or a patient's teeth may be too sensitive to proceed with whitening.

Alter the shape of the teeth

Teeth can naturally be too small or too short, making you smile conscious. This technique allows you to reshape the shape of your smile and efficiently balance the differences.

Repair chipped teeth

People can have small chips in their teeth that, while not medically problematic, feel conscious.

Improve alignment

People who want to straighten their teeth without braces can consider dental veneers. They can be used for eliminate gaps and correct misaligned or irregular teeth. However, this treatment is not recommended for younger patients as it removes a lot of healthy enamel and cannot be reversed. In these cases, treatment of orthodontics. Fortunately, the wide variety of gadgets available today means that this doesn't have to mean an ugly "metal mouth."

Repair the damage caused by bruxism

Patients who have suffered bruxism (grinding teeth) may have ground enamel on your teeth in the past. The application of porcelain covers not only restores the cosmetic appearance but also protects the teeth from sensitivity to cold and heat.

 

 

How do dental veneers work?

Dentists will take a slightly different approach to treatment depending on the desired result and the material used. More complex projects, like correcting tooth alignment or covering a chipped tooth, will require more planning and testing to ensure that the solution is exactly what you want. The dentist often creates a dental mask to try different shapes and find a solution that the patient is satisfied with.

Our Porcelain veneers they are created by a qualified lab technician, which is time consuming and costly. Composite veneers, on the other hand, are built and shaped as the material is applied by the dentist, so no lab work is required.

It is absolutely essential review everything with your dentist before starting. This should give you full details on the steps involved and the end result. Although you will need to invest some time and money in the process, it is still less invasive, faster and less expensive than placing a implant or a crown.

 

 

How is the process of adaptation of Dental Veneers

After your initial consultation where you can explain your problem and your expectations, your cosmetic dentist will take photos and can create a dental impression of your existing teeth. He might also take an x-ray of your mouth to check the current condition of the tooth. A color chart ensures a good match with your natural teeth. Your dentist will also check for problems like gum disease.

If you are happy to continue with the proposed treatment, your dentist will begin the preparatory work. This usually involves 'trimming' a thin layer of enamel from the tooth or teeth to be the correct height and size for the veneers to adhere to. With some types of veneer it is not necessary to remove the enamel. This process should not be painful as there are no nerves present in the enamel. However, your dentist may administer an anesthetic as a precaution.

If the veneers are the same color as the bleached teeth, you will need to maintain a regular teeth whitening schedule. Otherwise, natural teeth will start to look yellow compared to new teeth processed by dental veneers.

 

 

What are the compounds of dental veneers

Composite veneers are often applied in one visit. The dentist hardens the surface of the tooth with acid and then applies a bonding agent (glue) to the teeth. Next, he builds up the composite material in thin layers, gradually forming the tooth to the required shape. The paste is hardened at each stage with a special lamp.

La porcelain It is one of the main compounds with which dental veneers are made. Although this process takes much more time. This is because each veneer must be individually manufactured in a laboratory. This process can take 1 to 3 weeks. After your teeth are filed, your dentist will take a dental impression with putty. This impression is used to ensure that the veneers fit perfectly. This mold will also be used to create a mask, if necessary, to plan the final result where significant changes are made to the shape or size of the teeth.

At this point, you may get temporary veneers to protect prepared teeth while you wait for permanent ones. However, not all dentists offer a temporary option. Once your porcelain veneers are ready, you will have your next appointment. Your dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth again and use an acid to harden the surface of the tooth and the veneer. A strong dental adhesive is used to secure the caps in place.

Adapting or creating veneers for teeth is a precise art, and it can take an hour or two depending on the number of teeth to be treated. In some cases, this is done with Anesthesia localNot because it is painful but because the patient may find it difficult to remain still for that long while awake.

So do not think about it anymore and look for your dental doctor and get a dental veneer treatment, so that your teeth are much more beautiful or much longer.
