Dental Veneers Improving your overall appearance is the best way to boost your self-esteem, and one way you can do this is to get dental veneers. They are commonly used for cosmetic purposes as they help to improve your smile. To find out more about veneers, visit our GOREgeous Smiles clinic. Our dentist will address all of your questions concerning veneers and tell you whether they are a good solution for your teeth. What Are Dental Veneers?Veneers are thin porcelain pieces that can be custom-made to fit your teeth. They are usually attached to the front teeth to improve appearance. Mostly they are made from resin or composite material, but you can also get veneers made from other materials. All in all, the purpose of veneers is to adjust the size, shape, and color of your teeth. They can also be used on chipped, broken, or misshaped teeth. Types of Veneers AvailableIf you and your dentist have concluded that you need veneers, there are several types available. They include porcelain, composite, removable, and instant veneers. Your dentist will help you decide which one is the best for you, depending on your condition. Porcelain veneers are the most durable. The Dental Veneer ProcessThe entire veneer process is completed at our dental clinic. The first thing that usually happens is that the dentist will take x-rays and impressions of your teeth to create your custom-made veneers. The impressions will be sent to the laboratory for manufacturing, and after they are ready, you will come back in for your permanent veneers. Normally, the dentist will issue temporary veneers to protect your teeth before coming back in for the permanent ones. During the last procedure, one millimeter of your tooth enamel will be removed to create room for the veneers. Your teeth will also be polished and cleaned to allow the veneers to bond well with your teeth. A special cement is used to attach the veneer to your teeth, then cured with UV light. After the procedure is through, your dentist will ask you to come back in for a checkup after one or two weeks. What Should I Expect During the Procedure?When you go to the dentist to get veneers fixed on your teeth, you should expect us to run some dental exams. This is to ensure no cavities or infections are covered. We will also check for any signs of gum disease, and if there are any, we might ask you to take treatment first before getting your veneers. The dentist will also want to know about your medical history and if you are prone to teeth breakages. How Long Do Veneers Last?Veneers usually last for a long time, but that depends on the material used. Porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years, while composite veneers can last up to seven years. This is not guaranteed because it varies depending on how well you take care of your veneers.
