Veneers

Have you been shying away from smiling or laughing as a result of misshapen, crooked or chipped teeth? The solution to your problem lies in a cosmetic dental treatment known as veneers. With the various benefits offered by veneers, you can face the world with a stunning smile and increased self-confidence.

Veneers are slim pieces of long lasting, tooth shaped porcelain that are individually designed in terms of shape and color by a professional dental laboratory. Dentists bond them in front of patients’ teeth. As a result, patients are given an amazing and beautiful smile.

Veneers have the ability to totally change the shape of teeth and the smile of a patient. In many occasions, veneers are used as alternatives to crowns and as treatments to numerous other dental conditions.

Even though veneers are similar to other dental restorations, veneers can be as natural looking as you desire, and they are known to be extremely durable.

Porcelain veneers are used to treat patients with a variety of dental conditions and situations. In the hands of expert dentists, porcelain veneers can give a patient an aesthetically pleasing smile supported by beautiful, white and regular teeth. They can also be used to help patients with crooked, chipped, misshapen, discolored, or stained teeth. Moreover, porcelain veneers can replace teeth that may be too small or too large, as well as uneven spacing of the teeth.

If you decide to get porcelain veneers, you will be required to visit the dentist twice. In the first visit, your teeth will be prepared to accommodate the thickness of the veneer. Thereafter, a mold or impression of the teeth will be taken. The required color will then be chosen by you and the dentist. During the second visit, following a teeth cleansing with special liquids, bonding cement will be placed between the tooth and veneer. Then a special light beam will be used to harden and the set the bond in place.

The durability of your veneers will primarily be in the care you give them. So brush and floss well!
