Veneers
The use and demand for dental veneers have risen over recent years due to the appeal that one gets from having a perfect smile. In essence, veneers are thin covers made from porcelain or composite resin that are customized to a person’s teeth and bonded to the front part of the teeth. In their nature, veneers beautify dentition and offer a solution to multiple imperfections such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and even a small degree of misalignment. At DentAesthetica, they approach you with an opportunity to acquire top-notch veneers and renew your smile while improving your self-confidence.
Benefits of Veneers
Veneers are both multifunctional and practical in getting a perfectly pleasing smile. Here are some of the factors that suitable veneers can help achieve.
- Aesthetic Improvement: The veneers often change the color and size of the teeth, giving the person a more asymmetric and appealing smile.
- Stain Resistance: Due to the density of the porcelain material, it is safe to assume that porcelain veneers will not easily tarnish from food, beverage, or smoke stains.
- Durability: one of the standout characteristics of the composite materials in the veneers is their strength and charm, as they can withstand most pressure over the years.
- Minimally Invasive: One virtue of placing the veneer is that it has hardly any impact on the remaining tooth structure compared to other forms of restorative procedures.
Types of Veneers
DentAesthetica offers two broad types of veneers:
- Porcelain Veneers, sometimes referred to as ceramic veneers, are more enduring than natural teeth and realistically look like natural teeth. In terms of aesthetics, porcelain veneers are well sought after.
- Composite Veneers are glued to the outer surface of the teeth and made from a composite resin material. They are affordable and might require just a single dentist appointment. The Lifetime of a composite veneer is less than that of porcelain, so it’s smarter to save up for a porcelain veneer.
The Veneer Applying Process
We ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients, which is why veneers cannot be received in a single visit.
- Consultation and Examination: During the initial visit to DentAesthetica’s clinic, our health professionals analyze your mouth. In coordination with your wishes to change the appearance of your teeth, this analysis aids us in establishing whether veneers are a feasible option.
- Preparation: During this stage, a thin layer of enamel is shaved off the front of your teeth for correction purposes. This also assists in making dentures fit comfortably. Impressions of the required teeth are obtained and sent to the laboratory to create custom-made porcelain veneers.
- Temporary Veneers: Temporaries can also be put in if desired to protect the teeth while the permanent veneers are being made. Further, these give you a preview of how the final result will look.
- Bonding: In addition to this, while bonding material is being prepared, the working casts are also color-matched. The veneer is adhered to the clean tooth surface after a suitable primer is applied. The dentist will make adjustments as required.
- Final Touches: Once the veneer is bonded, all the excess cement is removed, and the veneer is polished as desired.
Caring for Your Veneers
After getting veneers, it is your responsibility to take proper care of them and your teeth so that they do not wear out quickly. Here are a few pointers on how to preserve your veneers:
- Oral Hygiene: Keep your veneers and natural teeth clean by brushing and flossing regularly to reduce plaque buildup.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Do not bite or chew into hard foods and objects, as the veneers may break.
- Regular Check-Ups: Ensure you maintain your Notre Dame dental care schedule to have all dental check-ups and veneers’ condition examinations regularly.
- Avoid food and drinks that can stain your veneers, such as tea, coffee, and red wine, especially when you have composite veneers.
