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.
