When individuals seek cosmetic dentistry to improve their smile, porcelain veneers are a successful option. Unlike a crown that completely covers the tooth, a veneer is a super thin layer of a very strong porcelain, composite bonding, or ceramic. When bonded to a tooth, the veneer creates a natural, translucent, and new surface. It improves the appearance of the visible portion of your tooth instantly.
To begin, you will need a consultation with your dentist, who should have know-how in cosmetic procedures. You should think about what you do not like about your smile and determine how you want it improved. Veneers may not be prime for you. Other cosmetic dental procedures are available that may be a better fit for the characteristics you wish to change.
Porcelain veneers can repair many minor to moderate troubles, including the size, shape, and color of your teeth. Gaps between teeth can be filled, as well as the lengthening or shortening of teeth to complete your pleasing smile.
Your dentist will also discuss both types of veneers: traditional veneers and prepless veneers. Before a traditional veneer is put on the tooth, the dentist first removes a very thin layer of enamel. Enamel cannot be replaced, which is one reason this method is irreversible.
The second process is called ‘no-prep’ or ‘prepless.’ With this type, enamel removal is ordinarily not required. When no enamel is removed, the treatment can be reversible. However, this treatment plan has specific criteria.
Additionally, it is possible to use both types of veneers for multiple teeth, depending on the condition of each tooth.
Your dentist will help you analyze your unique needs and advise you on how to reach your goals. Once you and your dentist have created a dental plan, your dentist will work with a laboratory and dental team to assure everything is carried out as discussed.
