Porcelain Veneers

What makes a smile beautiful? That’s a complex question, but some lovely smile qualities are immediately identifiable: good tooth color, shape, and alignment are a few of the most important ones. If your teeth could use improvement in any of these categories, porcelain veneers could be just what you’re looking for.

Recent years have brought remarkable advances in dental porcelain technology. These days, veneers can be made so thin that they can sometimes be bonded directly onto your existing tooth surface. In other cases, a very thin layer of tooth enamel — as thin as the veneer itself — needs to be removed to fit the new porcelain surface and make it look as lifelike as possible. Either way, the results are sure to make you smile.

Porcelain veneers are a kind of ceramic used for medical purposes that shield your natural teeth’ front area. Dental veneers give an instant change to the smile of a person. Porcelain veneers are specially designed for every patient to guarantee a perfect fit. The materials are well-developed such that it resembles the enamel of a natural tooth.

Dentists can use dental veneers for numerous cosmetic changes, which range from teeth whitening to teeth corrections. Because of their natural and realistic look and various uses, porcelain veneers are among the most common and dependable cosmetic dental techniques.

Step 1: Examination and Treatment Planning

This initial step requires your full participation. Let your dentist know the result you want to achieve. During your meeting, your dentist will check your teeth to ensure that dental veneers are suitable for you and examine what the procedure will entail and a couple of its limitations. The dentist will take X-rays and create impressions of your mouth and teeth.

Step 2: Preparation

To make a tooth ready for a veneer, your dentist will mold the surface of your tooth, which will appear approximately the same and as thick as the veneers that are to be added to the tooth’s surface. Before shaping the enamel, you and your dentist will choose if the use of a sedative to numb the surface is required. After that, your dentist will design a prototype or impression of your tooth. This prototype is taken to a dental laboratory and used to develop your veneers. Typically, it requires between 2 weeks to one month for your dentist to get the veneers back from the lab. While waiting for the permanent veneers to be delivered to the office, you will be given a temporary dental veneer.

Step 3: Bonding

Before fixing the dental veneer permanently to your tooth, the dentist will put it on your tooth for a while to check the color and how it fits. The dentist will continually trim the tooth as needed to achieve the appropriate fit. The color of the bonding cement can be adjusted with the color of the veneer.
Furthermore, for your veneer to stick adequately to the tooth, your tooth will be polished, sharpened, and washed, which implies that roughening the tooth will make it strong enough for the bonding process. Various cement is used on the veneer, and the veneer is later placed on your tooth. Immediately it has been well positioned on your tooth. Your dentist will place a light beam on the dental veneer.
The light molds the cement and hardens it. The last stage is to remove any extra cement, examine your bite, and make any final adjustments required in the veneer. Your dentist will instruct you to come back for a check-up in a few weeks to examine how your gums are reacting to your veneers and to, once again, check their placement.

To know if you’re a suitable candidate for dental veneers, your dentist will schedule a pre-consultation where your teeth’ health will be evaluated. You will also discuss all the possible treatment options.

Treatment that involves tooth preparation is irreversible. Therefore it is essential that your dentist talks to you about any other option that gives the same results but with little or no removal of the tooth’s structure. If you and your dentist conclude that veneers are a perfect choice, the next step is an extensive review of your treatment details, which includes getting your teeth ready for your veneer procedure and what is needed to make them have a good look and fit perfectly.

Porcelain dental veneers can solve minor cosmetic problems that can be seen when you smile or speak. In the process of your consultation, your dentist will know if you’re a suitable patient for a dental veneer.

Veneers have the most natural-looking shade, and they illuminate light as natural teeth do. They are also stain-resistant, making them a perfect fit for people who want to have a radiant smile without putting too much effort or heeding too much precaution.

Natural Look

In this kind of dental repair method, you may need more than one dental appointment. However, the outcome comes out perfectly naturally. At your first consultation, the dentist gets an impression of your teeth and takes them to a laboratory where the veneers will be made. The laboratory makes the veneers that will be the same color as that of your natural teeth.

Fast Cosmetic Repair

A primary method of treating space between the teeth is braces or other dental treatment. However, a few people prefer to get veneers rather than putting up with the braces’ discomfort and pain.
