What are veneers?
Veneers help re-create the appearance of your natural teeth with a thin layer of porcelain. Each veneer is custom-made to fit your individual teeth to ensure flawless results. Then, an experienced cosmetic dentist at Fresh Dental Care bonds the veneers to your current teeth.
Veneers hide defects such as misshapen teeth, stains, cracks, or gaps. They can also restore frail teeth.
Although veneers can be made out of resin composite materials, porcelain is the most stain-resistant material. Porcelain more closely resembles your actual teeth enamel, too. A skilled dental team member describes your choices and recommends the best type of veneers for your specific needs.
What is the procedure for getting veneers?
The process begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and determine the best type of veneers for your needs, after which you return for a follow-up appointment. A cosmetic dental specialist then removes a tiny layer of enamel from the surface of your existing teeth to make sure the veneers bond and fit properly. After your teeth are ready, your dental specialist makes an impression of your teeth so the dental lab can create custom veneers that are an exact fit for your mouth.
When your veneers are ready, you come back to have the veneers fitted to each tooth. Once your teeth are entirely prepared for the bonding process, the dental specialist applies a unique adhesive and light beam. This step helps the cement bond firmly to the porcelain. Voila! Once the cement dries, you have a new and upgraded smile!
What are the advantages of dental veneers?
Veneers are a natural-looking means to correct misshapen, cracked, or crooked teeth. They offer these benefits, too:
- Stain resistance
- Little gum irritation
- Ability to lighten darker teeth, so they appear whiter
- Aesthetically pleasing with minimal dental work
- Strengthen teeth
- Less expensive than some other dental procedures, like crowns
