Dental veneers
Dental
veneers are an extremely effective corrective cosmetic dental procedure. It
enables in bringing beauty as well strength to a person’s deteriorated teeth in
a quick and easy manner.
Dental-veneers
are specially-made tooth coverings that are worn over teeth. They act like
coverings that are meant to cover-up for something unpleasant on the teeth. Dental
veneers are wafer like thin shells which are used for covering the front
surface of teeth for cosmetic purposes. They are made up of ceramic porcelain
or composite resin which are tooth-colored materials, and are custom-made for a
patient. Veneers can correct various imperfections in the teeth and are
designed according to the color, length, shape or size of other teeth of the
patient and are then bonded to the front surface of teeth.
There
is no need of removal of the damaged tooth with the veneers unlike all other
restorative procedures such as dental implants which require insertion of metal
posts into the jaw bone for anchorage. Dental veneers are bonded on the front
surfaces of the existing tooth. It is an easy and completely tooth-borne
procedure, which requires no sort of drilling and adhesives.
The problems that can be fixed using
dental veneers are listed below:
·
Discolored teeth
·
Broken or chipped
teeth
·
Gaps between
teeth
·
Worn out teeth
·
Irregular,
misaligned or unevenly shaped teeth
Different types of dental veneers
Composite veneers
These
composite veneers can be fitted by the dentist in only one single visit. The
dentist starts with preparing the teeth of the patient by the removal of the
enamel in the front and the sides of the teeth. After this, the dentist places
the composite material onto the patients' teeth in the best suitable color with
the patient's natural teeth. They are polished and are smooth in order to make
them look similar to the natural teeth. They are no very much strong and durable.
They are even prone to fracturing while eating hard and crunchy foods but all
these defects can be easily repaired.
Palatal veneers
This
type of dental veneers is mostly designed with gold although they can be
manufactured with porcelain or composite materials as well. They are
specifically meant for the management and treatment of the tooth wear. They are
used on the palate side i.e., inside of the upper teeth of the patients.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain
veneers are the ceramic shells that are bonded by the dentist on the front side
of the patient’s teeth. It usually takes more than one visits to the dentist to
have porcelain dental veneers done. On the first visit, the dentist will take
an impression of the patient’s teeth and apply a temporary veneer made from
plastic on the teeth. On the second visit, the temporary veneers are removed
and replaced with your permanent veneers made of porcelain.
Non-permanent veneers
These
non-permanent veneers are made from a flexible type of resin material. They can
be easily removed as and when needed. These days even kits are available over
the counters through which you can make your own non-permanent veneers at home.
Some of the benefits of dental veneers
include:
·
They are
beneficial for rectifying tooth discoloration as darker teeth can be made to
appear whiter
·
A natural looking
appearance is provided to your broken tooth
·
Veneers are quite
compatible with gum tissue
·
They are
resistant to stain
How dental veneers are applied on a
patient’s tooth
Typically,
it requires a patient to visit at least three times to the dentist for getting
dental veneers done. First visit is for consultation,
second for taking the fit for the veneers and the third one for applying the
veneers.
Your
dentist will determine if dental veneers are suitable for you and might also perform
dental X-rays. If you are a suitable candidate, the dentist will make impressions
of your teeth and mouth. After this impression, the model of your tooth will be
made and the veneer will be made in the laboratory.
The
dentist will remove about 1/2 millimeter of enamel from the surface of your
tooth in order to prepare it for a veneer. Then, it will be checked that the
veneer is in proper fitting and color and then cemented permanently on your
tooth. Finally, the dentist will clean, polish and etch your tooth to roughen
it so that the dental veneer bonds strongly.
