Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are commonly used to address cosmetic dental issues such as discolouration, chipped or worn teeth, irregularly shaped teeth, and gaps between teeth.
Veneers are typically made from porcelain or composite resin materials, both of which provide natural-looking results.
Porcelain veneers are highly durable, stain-resistant, and closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Composite resin veneers, on the other hand, are more affordable and can be directly applied to the teeth in a single dental visit.
The process of getting veneers typically involves multiple visits to the dentist. During the initial consultation, the dentist will evaluate your teeth, discuss your desired outcome, and determine if veneers are suitable for you.
They may take X-rays or impressions of your teeth to assist in the veneer fabrication process.
To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel may need to be removed from the front surface of the teeth. This ensures a proper fit and helps the veneers blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The dentist will then take impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a dental laboratory to create the custom veneers.
Once the veneers are ready, the dentist will check their fit, colour, and shape. If necessary, minor adjustments can be made before the veneers are permanently bonded to the teeth using a dental adhesive. The dentist will ensure proper alignment and bite before finalising the procedure.
Dental veneers can provide a significant improvement in the appearance of your smile. They are long-lasting with proper care, but it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene practices and avoid habits that may damage the veneers, such as biting on hard objects or using teeth as tools.
It’s advisable to consult with the dentist to determine if dental veneers are a suitable option for your specific dental concerns. They can provide personalised recommendations and guide you through the process to help you achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
