Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped structures made of various materials that are custom made (for shape and colour) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.
When you need veneers option?
If you think you are suffering from the following factors, then you should consider taking dental veneers treatment. These factors include:
- Minor Fractures or chips
- Stained/yellowish teeth colour, specifically these deep stains which are still there after the teeth whitening
- Unequal teeth, like jagged or pointed teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Too much gap between teeth
What does getting veneers involve?
Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no anaesthesia required during the procedure.
- The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. An impression of the teeth is taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and the dentist.
- On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
You will receive care instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new veneers.
