Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment designed to enhance the appearance of a person’s smile. These custom-made are usually made of porcelain or composite resin and are applied to the front of the teeth to correct a variety of aesthetic issues such as discoloration, cracks, misalignment, or gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers can improve the color, shape and position of your teeth. The porcelain is favored to mimic the look of our tooth, look, and stain resistant, while composite veneers, though more affordable. While composite veneers offer a more affordable and versatile solution. Veneers offer a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution for people looking to achieve a bright, flawless smile, with results that can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years with proper care. The outer enamel surface of the tooth may be removed, to make sure that the veneer can be bonded permanently in place later. The amount of enamel removed is tiny and will be the same as the thickness of the veneer to be fitted, so that the tooth stays the same size. The colour of the surrounding teeth is matched on a shade guide to make sure that the veneer will look entirely natural. Types of Veneers: Porcelain Veneers: These are thin, durable shells that resemble artificial fingernails. Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining and provide a natural-looking finish. Composite Resin Veneers: These are applied layer by layer directly to the tooth surface, sculpted by the dentist to match the natural shape and appearance of the tooth. Local Anesthesia: Depending on the extent of the damage or the treatment, the dentist may apply local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. Veneers can instantaneously cover up defective and discolored portions of teeth. However, it is important to note that veneers are not a permanent cure for these dental issues. Aesthetic veneers are prone to damage, wear and tear, or discoloration if they are not cared for. The best ways to prevent damage are; brushing twice daily, using less abrasive fluoride toothpaste, and limiting the intake of foods and beverages causing staining can prevent the damage to veneers.
