What Are porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made moldings that cover the fronts
of unsightly teeth. They are crafted from tooth colored, high-tech
materials to portray a natural, bright
smile.
Should You Consider Veneers?
Veneers provide an alternative to traditional crowns. They
cover unattractive gaps, and can mask stained, misshaped or
crooked teeth. If these conditions apply to your mouth, veneers
may be your best option.
How Long Will Veneers Last?
Veneers are intended to last for many years. Unlike most bonding
materials, veneers will not change color over time. You should
consult with your dentist to find out exactly how long veneers
will last in your mouth.
How Are Veneers Applied?
The tooth is reshaped initially to allow for the added thickness
of the veneer. A molded image is taken of the reshaped tooth
and sent to a dental laboratory where the veneer is custom-made
to fit your mouth. The veneer is applied with adhesive material
which bonds it to the original tooth structure.
What Are The Benefits of Veneers ?
• A minimal amount of the natural tooth must be altered
to fit the veneer.
• Veneers can be matched to make even the darkest teeth
appear to be bright
white.
• Minor twists and overlaps, as well as small gaps,
can be quickly corrected
through the use of veneers.
How do you Maintain Your Veneers?
Here are some tips for making sure your veneers stay sparkling:-
• Brush and Floss Regularly to Prevent Oral Hygiene
Problems.
• Veneers generally cannot be damaged by abrasion from
your toothbrush or floss.
• Good oral hygiene will ensure your veneers stay strong
and provide you with a
long-lasting, attractive smile.
What Are The Advantages of Veneers ?
Veneers cover unattractive gaps, and can mask stained, misshaped
or crooked teeth.
Tooth-Like Appearance: Since veneers are individually
sculpted for each patient, it is nearly impossible to tell
the difference between a veneer and a natural tooth.
Stain-Resistant: Custom-made veneers resist stains
from coffee, tea and cigarette smoke because they are made
of high-tech, extremely polishable materials.
