If you have a broken, cracked, chipped tooth or simply want to change the appearance of a tooth, dental veneer is a great option to achieve the perfect smile for you. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are applied on the entire front surface of the tooth; they can be used to repair a broken tooth or cosmetically enhance the look of your tooth to enhance your smile with confidence.
- Dental veneers can address a myriad of cosmetic concerns, including stained or discolored teeth that are resistant to whitening treatments; chipped or broken teeth, misaligned or uneven teeth, and gaps between teeth. They provide a natural-looking and durable solution, enhancing the aesthetics of one’s smile and boosting self-confidence.
- Similar to a process of dental crowns, a small amount of enamel is sometimes removed from the front surface of the teeth to make room for the veneers. Next, impressions of the teeth are taken to create custom-made veneers that fit perfectly. During the final appointment, the veneers are bonded to the teeth using a special adhesive and cured with a light to ensure a strong bond.
- With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last for many years. However, they may need to be replaced eventually due to wear and tear or changes in the gums and underlying teeth.
- Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice a day and flossing daily, is essential for preserving the longevity of dental veneers. Avoiding habits that can damage the veneers, such as biting on hard objects or using teeth as tools, is also crucial. Additionally, regular dental check-ups and cleanings are recommended to ensure the overall health of the teeth and gums.
- While dental veneers are suitable for many individuals seeking to improve their smile, not everyone may be a candidate. Healthy teeth and gums are essential for the success of veneers, so any underlying dental issues, such as decay or gum disease, must be addressed before treatment. Additionally, individuals with significant tooth decay, active gum disease, or insufficient enamel may not be suitable candidates for veneers. Dr. Huang will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your goals before recommending and achieving the most aesthetic solution possible.
- The entire process of getting dental veneers usually takes two to three appointments spread over a few weeks. The initial consultation involves examination and treatment planning, while subsequent appointments involve tooth preparation, impressions, and placement of the veneers.
