Advantages of veneers:
- They are strong and long-lasting
- They have a surface that looks like natural tooth enamel
- Less tooth enamel needs to be removed compared to crowns
Dental veneers are a possible solution that can help you achieve the look you desire.
Dental veneers are thin shells that adhere to the teeth to give them a completely natural, yet perfect smile.
Veneers are thin coverings placed over the front (visible) part of the teeth, bonded, i.e. cemented to the front surface of the teeth, effectively changing their color, shape, size/length.
They are used to improve the aesthetics of the teeth and smile.
Veneers can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues, such as:
teeth that are stained and cannot be whitened with bleaching
chipped or worn teeth
crooked or misshapen teeth
uneven spaces or a large gap between the upper front teeth
Veneers are considered the pinnacle of aesthetic dentistry because they can make a person’s smile look perfect.
Steps for placing veneers:
To prepare the teeth, the dentist usually removes a small amount of enamel from the front and sides of the teeth.
This creates space for the veneers so that your teeth look natural.
The dentist takes an impression, which is sent to a dental laboratory where custom porcelain veneers are made to fit your teeth.
This may take a few days.
In the meantime, your dentist may provide you with temporary veneers to wear.
At the next appointment, the dentist places the veneers on your teeth to check their fit and shape.
After any adjustments, the teeth are cleaned and the veneers are bonded to the tooth.
Further adjustments can be made later if needed.
Before getting veneers, it is necessary that:
Your teeth and gums are healthy before receiving veneers.
What to consider before getting dental veneers?
If you want to improve the aesthetics of your natural teeth in the smile zone, veneers may be the perfect solution. However, the indications for veneers are limited, and the dentist must determine whether they are the best solution for your condition. Before deciding on veneers, we advise you to think about the desired shade of your future smile and to what extent you want to correct it.
This is important because it greatly affects the decision on how many teeth will be covered with veneers and whether the remaining teeth should be whitened.
If you suffer from any form of bruxism (teeth grinding, jaw clenching, etc.), it is important to inform your dentist before getting dental veneers. After cementation, it will be necessary to make a night guard or splint (learn more about splints here) to protect your teeth and veneers from damage (fracturing or chipping).
