Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are placed over the front of your teeth to enhance your smile. This popular cosmetic treatment is an effective solution for improving imperfections that may be affecting your confidence. Veneers can give you a faster, more dramatic transformation, often resulting in a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Veneers can address a wide variety of smile concerns, including:
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Stains or discoloration
- Cracks or chips
- Thinning enamel
Are Veneers Safe?
You may have heard about the controversial “Turkey teeth” trend, which involves drilling teeth down to stumps to fit crowns. This can lead to nerve damage and long-term discomfort. However, this is not how we approach smile makeovers.
At our practice, the process involves minimal alteration of the natural tooth, helping to preserve its structure. In some cases, we may not need to prepare the tooth at all, and the porcelain veneer can be applied directly over the existing tooth.
Do Veneers Hurt?
Because the preparation process is minimal, most patients do not experience pain. We can apply a small amount of local anaesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Afterward, you might experience mild sensitivity as your teeth adjust to the veneers, but this typically resolves quickly.
How Will I Know What My Veneers Will Look Like?
Our success with veneers lies in careful planning. Before placing your permanent veneers, we create a wax model of your new smile. This allows you to see the results in advance and suggest any final adjustments before the veneers are fitted.
How Do I Choose the Right Colour for My Veneers?
For all cosmetic procedures, we work closely with our expert ceramist to ensure that the color of your veneers is perfect. If you choose to whiten your teeth beforehand, we can match the shade of your veneers to your newly brightened smile. For a full smile makeover, including both upper and lower teeth, you can choose your desired shade, even opting for a whiter, celebrity-like smile if that’s your goal.(wikipedia info)
How Do I Care for My Teeth with Veneers?
Veneers function just like your natural teeth, so it’s essential to take good care of them. Be sure to maintain an excellent oral hygiene routine at home, and schedule regular visits to our practice for professional cleanings to keep your veneers and natural teeth in top condition.
