DENTAL VENEERS

Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of teeth to correct imperfections such as discolouration, chips, gaps, or uneven shapes. Veneers offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for a flawless smile.

Why It’s Important/Benefits:

Enhances the appearance of your smile by addressing aesthetic imperfections.
Provides a long-lasting, stain-resistant solution for discoloured teeth.
Protects and strengthens chipped or weakened teeth.
Boosts confidence with a bright, even smile.

THE STEPS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE

How We Diagnose and Plan Treatment:

1. Consultation: The dentist evaluates your teeth and discusses your cosmetic goals.

2. Impressions: Custom moulds of your teeth are taken to create veneers that fit perfectly.

3. Treatment Plan: A detailed plan is created, including the selection of veneer material (porcelain or composite resin).

What to Expect During Treatment:

The dentist removes a small amount of enamel from the front of the teeth to prepare for veneers. Impressions are taken, and temporary veneers may be placed while the permanent ones are crafted. During the final appointment, the veneers are bonded to the teeth using a special adhesive.

What to Expect After Treatment (Recovery/ Potential Risks or Symptoms):

You can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Minor sensitivity to hot or cold foods may occur but resolves quickly. Veneers require regular oral hygiene to maintain their appearance and durability.

Composite Resin: A cost-effective alternative with excellent aesthetics.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years, while composite veneers may last 5–7 years with proper care. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene can extend their lifespan.

Who is a good candidate for veneers?
Veneers are ideal for individuals with healthy teeth and gums who want to enhance their smile. They may not be suitable for those with severe tooth decay, gum disease, or teeth grinding habits unless these issues are addressed first.

What’s the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth and are primarily cosmetic. Crowns encase the entire tooth and are used to restore function and structure, often for teeth with significant damage.

How do I care for my veneers?
Care for veneers like natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and avoid biting hard objects (like ice or pens). Regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain their condition.

Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a long-term solution but not completely permanent. Since a small amount of enamel is removed, the process is irreversible, and veneers may need to be replaced eventually.

Is getting veneers painful?
The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. A small amount of enamel is removed, and local anesthesia is usually used to ensure comfort.
