Veneers are a type of cosmetic dentistry that can improve the appearance of your teeth and boost your self-confidence. From how they work and the cost involved, to the process of getting them, find out all you need to know about veneers with reviews and pictures.
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers, sometimes referred to as porcelain veneers or composite veneers, are thin shells of material placed over the surface of existing teeth. They are used to change the size, shape and color of your teeth. Veneers can be made of porcelain or composite resin and can restore cracked, chipped or discolored teeth. Usually multiple veneers are applied at once to give you the best smile possible.
How Do Dental Veneers Work?
Dental veneers are commonly used to improve the appearance of a person’s teeth. When applied, they act as a unique second layer over the natural enamel. This is so that any flaws in size, shape, or color can be instantly corrected – yet still have a natural looking smile. Depending on what type of veneer you choose, this layer is either porcelain or composite resin material. The dentist will bond the veneers to your teeth and make sure that you get the best look possible for your smile.
Types of venees
There are two main types of veneers available: composite resin and porcelain. Composite resin veneers, which can be done in a single office visit, are made using a tooth-colored material that is directly bonded to your teeth. Porcelain veneers involve a lab-created shell that is bonded onto the front part of your teeth and last longer than composite resin veneers with proper care and maintenance.
Who Should Get Veneers?
Veneers are ideal for people who have chipped or misaligned teeth, those who have deep staining on their teeth and those who have gaps between them. Veneers provide a lasting solution that can restore the appearance of your smile. They are also perfect for those who have small teeth or if they want a different shape.
What Does the Process Involve?
The process for getting veneers generally involves your
dentist performing a series of tests to make sure veneers are the right choice
before taking an impression of your teeth. Your dentist will then provide you
with temporary veneers while they create permanent ones. Once they’re ready,
they’ll be placed and any necessary adjustments will be made until they look perfect.
Finally, they’ll be bonded in place, making your smile as beautiful as ever!
