Veneers are thin, custom-made FACING OR LAMINATES that cover the fronts of unsightly teeth. They are crafted from tooth-colored, high-tech materials to portray a natural, bright smile.VENEERS can be made of porcelain or composite material.
How Long Will Veneers Last?
Veneers are intended to last for many years , DEPENDING on patient’s bite,parafunctional habits (clenching or grinding ) , and the necessary preventative dental visits needed. Unlike most bonding materials, (which is porous hence prone to stains ) porcelain veneers will not change color over time. You should consult cosmetict dentist to find out how long veneers will last in your particular mouth.
How Are Veneers Applied?
The tooth is reshaped and contoured initially to allow for the added thickness of the veneer. THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VENEERS AND LUMINEERS. With Lumineers typically no tooth structure is removed ,however the added porcelain on the tooth without removing any tooth structure initially, will result in a BULKIER OR THICKER OUTCOME.So for DENTAL 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.VENEERS SHOULD NOT BE CEMENTED TO THE TOOTH RATHER BONDED TO THE TOOTH,so it becomes one with the reshaped tooth.
Advantages of Veneers
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,however depending on the skill of the cosmetic dentist and the ceramist ,multicolor porcelain layers can be incorporated to each hand crafted veneer,to transform your smile ,to the awsome smile you desire.
High Stain-Resistant
Custom-made veneers resist stains from coffee, tea and cigarette smoke because they are made of high-tech, extremely polishable glass material, the porcelain material resist stain ,much better than composite material ,in which is more porous.
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 porcelain veneers.
