What Are Veneers Teeth?
Veneers, or dental veneers, are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the surface of your teeth to alter and improve their shape, size, and/or color. They are a great solution for improving your smile aesthetically, by making your teeth appear more even and symmetrical.
Benefits of Veneers Teeth
Veneers teeth provide a number of aesthetic and functional benefits. Firstly, they are a great option for improving the appearance of the smile. They can conceal discoloration, chips, cracks, and gaps between the teeth. Veneers are custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth to give you a natural-looking and seamless smile. Secondly, they are very durable. Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains, making them an ideal choice for people with a high sensitivity to staining. Veneers can also prevent further damage to your teeth, as they cover and protect them from further wear and tear.
How Do Veneers Help?
Veneers are one of the most versatile and effective tools for correcting the appearance of teeth. They are used for many different reasons including:
• To correct the size, shape and length of crooked or oversized teeth
• To close gaps or spaces between the teeth
• To correct discoloration or teeth stained from medications, food or drinks
• To correct teeth weakened by wear
• To make teeth appear symmetrical and uniform
The Procedure
The procedure for getting veneers usually lasts two visits, with the following steps:
• An initial consultation. During your first visit, a dentist will take a detailed medical history and X-ray to ensure they can provide suitable treatment.
• An impression of your teeth. This allows the dentists to create a model of your teeth and design the veneers scheme that’s right for you. They will also make a thin layer of enamel on your teeth that will have the veneers applied to it.
• The dental laboratory creates a set of custom-made veneers.
• Receiving the veneers. During the second visit, the veneers are checked to ensure they fit properly and then they are bonded to your teeth. It takes only 45 minutes to one hour to place a single veneer.
Conclusion
Veneers teeth are a great cosmetic dental solution for improving the aesthetics of the smile. They are highly durable and can help to conceal discoloration, chips, cracks, and gaps between the teeth. Veneers teeth provide many functional and aesthetic benefits, and the procedure for getting them typically takes only two visits with a dentist.
