DENTAL VENEERS: AN INFORMATION GUIDE BROUGHT TO YOU BY A PREMIER UPTOWN DENTIST

Veneers are porcelain or plastic thin shells that are placed on the front of the teeth. A simple procedure, veneer installation doesn’t usually require anesthesia, and it’s often the top choice for those seeking cosmetic dentistry treatments. These are used to brighten teeth and mask a discoloration.

Benefits of Dental Veneers
There are several reasons to opt for dental veneers from a cosmetic dentist instead of crowns. For one, they are a much more conservative option for those seeking to improve shape, size or color, hiding effects like tetracycline staining or injury damages. Veneers are also a great choice for hiding gaps between front teeth.

In other words, they’re a suitable cosmetic replacement that don’t cost as much. Although they don’t last as long as crowns, they do stay in place for quite some time.

During the Procedure
The whole procedure may require three separate appointments: diagnosis, preparation, as well as bonding.

Preparing the teeth requires a light buff so that the veneer’s thickness is accommodated. Usually, the dentist will remove up to half a millimeter of the tooth surface, and this procedure might require local anesthetic. A veneer made with composite resin will often be completed with one appointment. Once the tooth is ready, the veneer is bonded.

A mold is required for ceramic veneers, which is where multiple appointments come into play. After the veneers are ready, the dentist puts each one on the tooth so that the shade and fit can be gauged. Take the time to view these when they’re on your teeth, paying extra attention to the shade of white; it’s still possible to change the color at this stage, but not once it is bonded.

After the veneer is placed onto the tooth using certain adhesive chemicals, the dentist will use a light beam so that the cement is hardened, keeping the veneer durably in place.

Veneer Maintenance
It’ll take a couple of weeks for you to get used to your new teeth, but you’ll have to treat them all the same. Be sure to brush and floss every day. You’ll also likely have a follow-up appointment two weeks following the procedure.

Although they aren’t perfect replacements, veneers can be a great way to cover up unsightly tooth problems. If you’re ready to rebuild your self-esteem, it can all start with a smile: Give your local cosmetic dentist a call and ask about dental veneers today!
