Dental Veneers can give Pleasing Smile

What are Dental Veneers?

A Dental Veneers is a thin layer of porcelain which made to fit in shape

over the front surface of tooth.

◦ Dental Veneers can be defined as a pleasing smile creator. It allows

dentists to alter tooth position, shape, size, and color. There are

differences between teeth bleaching or whitening with veneers. This two

can only alter color and not change the shape, size or tooth position.

◦ One of the most effective restorative procedures for rectifying teeth that

are chipped, stained or discolored, crooked or have gaps between them

is dental veneering.

What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?

Veneers are routinely used to fix:

◦ Teeth that are discolored -- either because of root canal treatment; stains

from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; or

the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth

◦ Teeth that are worn down

◦ Teeth that are chipped or broken

◦ Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped.

◦ Teeth with gaps between them

Types of Dental Veneers:

Celebrities are often noted for their gleaming white, perfectly aligned teeth,

but many often have cosmetic dentistry and dental veneers to thank for

their Hollywood smile.

Dental veneers can also be used as an alternative to crowns as they are

less likely to show discoloration where the restoration meets the gum line.

There are two types of veneers that are used by our dentists:

◦ Porcelain

◦ Composite.

Porcelain Veneers:

◦ This substance is highly favored for creating veneers because of its

strength and durability.

◦ If porcelain veneers are well looked after with professional care and

regular maintenance they could last for up to 25 years.

◦ Another advantage of having porcelain veneers is its ability to reflect light

and match surrounding natural teeth.

Composite Veneers:

◦ Composite veneers can be built up directly in your mouth, with the

veneers able to be bonded and molded to the front of your teeth in a

single dentist visit.

◦ This type of veneer can offer an equal standard of improvement to

appearance like that of porcelain.

◦ Veneers of composite material tend to be cheaper than porcelain though

as they are less durable and may be in need of replacement more often.

◦ Organize an appointment with one of our skilled Towing dentists to

discuss your veneer treatment options.

What's the Procedure for Getting a Dental Veneer?

◦ The procedure typically begins with a complete dental check-up. A mold

of the patient’s teeth will be taken and used as a model for constructing

the veneers.

◦ The dentist will color-match the shade of the restoration to the rest of the

patient’s natural teeth.

◦ The veneer is created at a dental lab – which takes a few days – and

delivered to the dentist for application.

◦ The dentist will need to roughen the surface of the patient’s teeth to

improve the adhesive bond strength between the veneers and the teeth.

What Are the Advantages of Dental Veneers?

◦ Veneers offer the following advantages:

◦ They provide a natural tooth appearance.

◦ Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well.

◦ Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.

◦ The color of a porcelain veneer can be selected such that it makes dark

teeth appear whiter.

◦ Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth's color and

shape veneers generally don't require the extensive shaping prior to the

process that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative.

What Are the Disadvantages of Dental Veneers?

The downside to dental veneers include:

◦ The process is not reversible.

◦ Veneers are more costly than composite resin bonding.

◦ Veneers are usually not repairable should they chip or crack.

◦ Because enamel has been removed, your tooth may become more

sensitive to hot and cold foods and beverages.

◦ Veneers may not exactly match the color of your other teeth.

◦ Teeth with veneers can still experience decay, possibly necessitating full

coverage of the tooth with a crown.

◦ Veneers are not a good choice for individuals with unhealthy teeth and

for those who have an inadequate amount of existing enamel on the

tooth surface.

Do Dental Veneers Require Special Care?

◦ 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.

◦ Even though porcelain veneers resist stains, your dentist may

recommend that you avoid stain-causing foods and beverages (for

example, coffee, tea, or red wine).

Are There Alternatives to Dental Veneers?

Yes, alternatives to veneers include bonding’s and crowns. Veneers offer a

nice intermediate option. Veneers may be best suited for individuals who

want to change the shape of their teeth more than just a little bit -- as is

done with bonding -- but not enough to require a crown.

How Much Do Veneers Cost?

Costs of veneers vary depending on what part of the country you live in and

on the extent of your procedure. Generally, veneers range in cost from

$500 to $1,300 per tooth. The cost of veneers is not generally covered by

insurance. To be certain, check with your specific dental insurance

company.

How do I take care of my veneers?

◦ It is not difficult to look after your veneers. In fact, it is very similar to

taking proper care of your natural teeth. It is good practice to brush

immediately after eating sugary or acidic foods. If you do not wish to

wear down your veneers prematurely, you can use a non-abrasive type

of fluoride toothpaste.

◦ Just as it is advisable to visit a dentist at least two times a year to keep

your natural teeth in check and professionally cleaned, regular dental

visits are important for the maintenance of your veneered teeth.
