Getting a beautiful, confident smile can have a positive impact on your life. Whether you are meeting new people or you are about to be in pictures with your friends, a beautiful smile can change your life. A picture can be worth a thousand words, and a beautiful smile can be worth a million. There are things that can negatively impact your smile. Small gaps in your teeth, stains on your teeth, or chipped teeth can all make you reluctant to show the world your smile.
What is a Dental Veneer?
A veneer is a thin layer of material that is placed over the front surface of a tooth to improve the colour, shape, and/or size of that tooth. The most common reason for using a veneer is to cover a tooth that is discoloured due to staining, a large filling, or other causes. Veneers are also used for small misalignment of teeth, small gaps, and chipping.
Let’s say you had a chip on your front tooth; you would feel self-conscious while smiling, and a veneer can cover that chip and improve the appearance of the tooth. But remember, a veneer can only improve the appearance and will not treat the underlying chip.
Dental Veneers Cost in Gurgaon
The total cost of getting dental veneers done in Gurgaon depends on the type of material used, number of teeth treated, and the complexity of the treatment.
Expect to spend approximately Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 8,000 per tooth for composite veneers, and approximately Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 20,000 or more per tooth for porcelain veneers. These are general costs; actual prices are based on each individual’s treatment requirements. The prices above are estimates only.
Aesthetics and stain resistance are advantages of porcelain veneers, and therefore, the higher cost. Composite veneers are less expensive and, in some cases, may require fewer appointments.
Ask your dentist for a breakdown of the cost of consultation, scans, the placement of veneers and follow-up appointments (if applicable) prior to starting treatment.
Types of Dental Veneers
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers resist staining and, with proper care, may last 10 to 15 years, or longer. Traditional porcelain veneers require removal of some tooth enamel, making the process generally irreversible.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers may be repaired or replaced earlier than porcelain veneers, and may be more susceptible to staining.
Minimal Preparation Veneers
No, or very little, removal of tooth enamel may be required for placement of certain veneers. The suitability of this type of treatment may depend on the shape and positioning of your teeth.
What Is the Dental Veneers Procedure?
Dental veneers are customized, thin shells of porcelain made to the shape and colour of your teeth that are permanently cemented to the front of your teeth. During your consultation, we will examine your teeth and gums and learn about your goals. With the use of photographs or digital images, we can help you identify the shape and colour of your desired final result.
Traditional porcelain veneers require the removal of a very thin layer of your tooth enamel to make room for the veneer so it can be permanently bonded to the front of your tooth. It is sometimes necessary to place a temporary veneer while you are waiting for your final veneer.
During your final visit, your dentist will make sure the customized veneers fit your teeth and look good. For composite veneers, the material can be permanently bonded to your teeth, contoured and shaped.
Your teeth can look great for a long time with good care and regular hygiene visits.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?
Adults who have healthy gums and teeth and wish to improve minor cosmetic issues such as chipping, staining and small gaps may be good candidates for dental veneers.
Those with severe decay and/or damage to their teeth and gums, and individuals who have significant tooth misalignment may benefit more from orthodontic treatment.
During your consultation at DentaAesthetica, we can better identify if you are a candidate for dental veneers.
This treatment can improve chipped, discoloured, irregularly shaped, unevenly spaced and worn-down teeth. Stain-resistant and aesthetically better porcelain veneers cost more than the less aesthetic but more affordable composite veneers. When considering your budget, expectations from the treatment and the state of your oral health, porcelain and composite veneers can be chosen accordingly.
At DentaAesthetica in Gurgaon, after assessing your dental health and your expectations from the treatment, we can advise you on the best treatment option to give you a beautiful, confident smile.
