Most people have heard of different cosmetic dental procedures available, which may include veneers. These are one of the most popular procedures done by cosmetic dentists because of its many uses and benefits. They are very thin shells made of porcelain that can change your smile like none other, but it’s important to learn as much as you can about any tool or product before choosing to use it.
Uses
These appliances are used to change and improve the appearance of the teeth and smile. They can be used by men and women, and are used to fix many cosmetic dental problems, including worn down teeth, broken, chipped, discolored and gap problems.
Worn down teeth aren’t usually an issue for most people, but if you grit your teeth or grind them at night, it could wear them down significantly, which can be painful and embarrassing. Broken and chipped teeth can sometimes be fixed by other means or be left alone, but if they are in the front or cause pain, they should be taken care of promptly.
Application
The placement procedure usually takes three separate visits to your dentist. With the first visit, you and your dentist will work out a treatment plan that fits your goals and needs. During this visit, you’ll learn if veneers will work for you or if another treatment is necessary.
The second and third visits are used to create them and prepare the surface of the tooth so that it is bonded properly and securely. Then the veneer is bonded to the front of your existing tooth. This bonding is permanent and is done by using special cement that reacts to specialized light.
Benefits
There are many benefits of receiving a veneer, which ultimately includes having a nice-looking smile. Whether your teeth are crooked, chipped, broken, cracked or discolored, you’ll have a porcelain veneer placed over the problem area to make it look like your teeth are straight, even and beautiful. The veneer can also be colored to match existing teeth so that one doesn’t seem whiter than the rest. However, it is important to note that whiteners will not work on the veneer, so certain cosmetic procedures may not be available to you after they are placed. With that being said, the material used for the veneer is naturally resistant to staining.
