All About Dental Veneers

 

Dental veneers are paper-thin, tooth-colored shells. They are custom-made, as per the exact requirement for each individual. They are placed on the front surface of the teeth. Veneers improve the appearance of the teeth. Dental cement is used to bond the veneer to the front of the teeth. Placing veneers alters the color, size, shape, and length of teeth. Veneers can be made of different types of materials like composite resin, ceramic, or porcelain. Out of the available options, porcelain veneers are considered the best as they have a longer shelf life.

  

Our teeth do a lot of work for us. And in the process, they undergo wear and tear due to usage, grinding, and erosion too. Dental veneers protect teeth by placing an invisible layer on top of them, which not only protects the teeth but also makes them look beautiful. Be careful to undertake your dental veneer treatment only from an experienced se19 dentist for safe and best results. 

 

 

Dental veneers are prescribed by cosmetic dentists to help improve the appearance of discolored, chipped, crooked, worn-out or cracked teeth. Dental veneers are an option recommended to cover up any gaps in-between teeth. They also help to preserve the teeth. Dental veneers help to alter the look of the teeth so that you can smile with confidence!

There are three types of dental veneers- porcelain veneers, composite veneers, and lumineers. A qualified cosmetic Dentist South East London will help you choose the material that is best for you.

 

Porcelain veneer - Porcelain veneers are the traditional kind of veneers. Such veneers are lab-made according to the customized requirements of each patient. They are thin and shell-like. They are made in such a way that they fit the teeth according to the flaws. Two major benefits of porcelain veneers are that they look completely natural making it almost impossible to be identified as a coating above the natural tooth. Also, they are long-lasting and strong. Porcelain veneers can be easily cleaned. Also, they do not retain any kind of stains from food or tobacco products.

  

Composite veneers- Composite veneers are applied directly to the teeth by a qualified cosmetic Emergency Dentist South East London. They do not require any kind of back end preparation from a dental lab, unlike the porcelain veneers. Composite veneers are resin-based material. They are pasted directly on to the patient’s teeth. Such a procedure requires just a single visit to the dental clinic. They offer good cosmetic outcomes and are natural-looking. Although they are quite strong and long-lasting but are not as strong as the porcelain veneers.

 

Lumineers- Lumineers are ultra-thin veneers. They are strong, natural-looking and the procedure doesn’t require any kind of tooth preparation like tooth size reduction, etc. The life of lumineer is expected to be around 20 years.

 

Dental veneers, just like our natural teeth, are susceptible to wear & tear and damage. On average, veneers can last about 10 years.

Cosmetic dentists and orthodontists provide dental veneers treatment. 

Restorative dentistry is about restoring the tooth to the original healthy condition. Veneers are used when a tooth must be sculpted by removing only the absolutely damaged bit and placing a veneer on the top of it. This way the natural look of the tooth is retained. 

In conservative dentistry, veneers help to conserve a tooth by forming a paper-thin protective covering. This reduces the risk of further damage. 

 

Dental veneers are used to correct a wide range of dental flaws like: 

• Stained teeth which cannot be whitened by bleaching.

• Chipped or worn out teeth causing chewing problems.

• Crooked or misshapen teeth that result in food accumulation. 

• Filling uneven spaces/ large gaps between the upper front teeth that are resulting in speech problems.

• When a crown/ cap must be placed on the tooth, a veneer can save a lot of enamel which would otherwise have to be removed to fit the crown/ cap properly.
