Do you feel embarrassed when you smile at events or in photographs? Do not be hard on yourself. Your teeth may be the problem. A dental veneer can be used to conceal embarrassing dental issues such as discoloured, chipped or misshapen teeth. The dental veneer is a popular cosmetic procedure for a number of reasons.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are also called dental porcelain veneers and porcelain veneers. They are a thin layer of material that looks like teeth. This is a shell made of tooth-coloured materials that can be placed over your teeth to improve their appearance. These shells can be bonded directly to your front teeth to change their size, shape, colour or length.
How Veneers Work
Veneers can be made from porcelain or resin. Veneers are colored and shaped to blend in with natural teeth. The teeth are prepared first by removing a small amount of enamel. After that, the veneer is permanently attached to the teeth.
Be aware that the modern veneers are very different than those manufactured in years past. In order to make room for the first veneers, the teeth had to be shaved down to a very fine degree. Veneers are now as thin as contact lens, so very little or no tooth preparation may be required. The procedure can be less invasive, and you may not need anesthesia.
Veneers can be bonded onto a single front tooth to correct a minor flaw. However, they need to be applied to all of the teeth in order to achieve a complete smile makeover.
Here are some reasons why veneers are a great choice for your teeth.
Veneers are a cosmetic way to repair teeth without stress.
Veneers are made of thin pieces from medical grade porcelain that are cemented onto the front teeth to create a smile. Custom-made and tooth-colored, they can reflect light the same way as natural teeth. Veneers are a great option for those who want a flawless appearance. They don’t easily stain. A porcelain veneer will solve any cosmetic issues with your teeth.
Dental veneers give you a natural appearance.
This type of dental restoration requires several appointments, but the results are worth it. The dentist will examine your teeth at the first appointment and then send the specifications to the laboratory where the veneers are produced. The lab will take time to produce the veneer in accordance with the dentist’s description (such as your natural tooth contour and color).
The dentist will finally place the veneers in your mouth once the lab has finished producing them. The dentist will carefully shape each veneer to create a smile that looks natural. The design will also be made to fit your facial style and symmetry. Your smile will appear and feel natural after placing the veneer.
Veneers can be used to treat enamel loss
Even though the enamel is extremely strong, it may still wear off due to overly aggressive tooth brushing, acid reflux (when stomach acids enter the mouth), or excessive exposure to acidic foods. The enamel will not grow back once it has been worn away. Veneers are a good way to replace enamel that has been removed. They’re durable and look great.
Easy-to-maintain
It is simple to maintain your dental veneer. The process is similar to maintaining regular teeth. You only need to brush your teeth twice a day and floss once or more a week. You should also visit your dentist regularly to keep your teeth white and shiny.
Veneers can be durable and permanent.
Porcelain Veneers are permanent, and they can resist staining and decay much better than natural teeth. It is because porcelain veneers are not porous, whereas natural teeth are. A dental veneer may last up to 10 – 15 year with proper care.
