An Exciting Alternative
When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, veneers are often seen as an exciting alternative to crowns or teeth straightening. Veneers are essentially a “shell” of porcelain fitted over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. When applied, they can be used for anything from changing the size and shape of your teeth to their overall colour and alignment. The best candidates for cosmetic veneers are individuals with natural teeth that are not extensively decayed or damaged.
With good home care and maintenance, most porcelain or cosmetic dental veneers can last for 10 years or more.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are custom-fitted “shells” that are applied and bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are used to cosmetically correct teeth that are:
- Crooked
- Misshapen
- Gapped
- Chipped
- Stained
- Cracked
- Worn
How are Porcelain Veneers Applied?
In order to create a custom, natural fit, we’ll begin the process by meeting with you to determine the “look” you’d like to achieve, while checking the appropriateness of your teeth for veneers and obtaining the best color matches.
Next, we’ll lightly sand the enamel on the teeth to be fitted with veneers to maintain the same tooth thickness. Then, we take an impression of your teeth so the veneers can be shaped for a perfect fit, with the correct colour and shape. While your new “teeth” are being made, we may place temporary veneers on your teeth until the permanent ones are ready.
At the next visit, we will have you approve the color and shape of your new veneers prior to cementing them. Your teeth will be cleaned with a mild acidic solution and then a tooth-coloured bonding adhesive is applied along with the veneers to cement them into place. The veneers are then buffed to blend in with your other teeth.
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
As a conservative dental approach to cover teeth imperfections and fill in the gaps, porcelain veneers are an ideal choice because:
- Very little of the actual tooth enamel is removed
- They provide a natural-looking alternative that is less expensive than crowns
- They are strong and stain-resistant
- With proper care, they can last 10-15 years
- The procedure produces very little pain or discomfort
