What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers offer a conservative and effective solution for improving the appearance of imperfect teeth. These thin, custom-made facings are expertly bonded to the front of the teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking result. Veneers are capable of concealing a range of imperfections, including misshapen teeth, minor chips, enamel defects, stains, and small gaps. They can also address minor alignment issues. One of the key benefits of veneers is that they require minimal preparation of the natural tooth, while still providing long-lasting results. Furthermore, their thin structure ensures the preservation of maximum natural tooth structure and is gentle on the gumline.
What you should anticipate when getting veneers
- Initial consultation and care: Prior to receiving dental veneers, we will conduct an initial consultation to evaluate your dental health, oral function, and desired smile aesthetics. We will also discuss your smile goals and treatment expectations. It is crucial to address any periodontal issues or cavities in the teeth involved before creating your new veneers. However, the actual veneer procedure is relatively quick.
- Tooth preparation and Impression taking: Tooth preparation for porcelain veneers varies based on the case and veneer type. Minimal removal of tooth structure is done for a natural and strong appearance. After preparation, an impression is taken and a porcelain shade is chosen. Custom-made veneers are then created at a dental lab. Temporary veneer facings are used until the permanent ones are ready.
- Fitting and placement: After preparing your veneers, we will verify their fit, size, shade, and shape. Necessary modifications will be made for an accurate fit and pleasing appearance. We will ensure your satisfaction with your new smile. Once fitted and approved, teeth will be cleaned and veneers permanently bonded using composite resin cement. Any additional adjustments will be made after placement if needed.
