Veneers
If you have natural teeth but hide your smile due to various reasons, you may be a good candidate for veneers. Dramatic improvements can quickly be achieved with veneers. They are an ideal way to change unwanted tooth shape and color. Improving tooth color and shape is the most favorable impact of veneers. These thin porcelain layers are custom-made in a lab to fit perfectly according to mouth size and technical standards. Veneers resemble natural teeth, are durable, and highly aesthetic. Veneers enable an ideal smile without radical procedures.
When Are Veneers Used?
Veneers are used to improve several conditions such as:
- Discolored teeth. Various types of discoloration or demineralization cause stained teeth.
- Teeth with cavities or damage on the oral surface requiring a longer-term solution than adhesive fillings (composite) can offer.
- Large fillings in front teeth leading to color changes over time.
- Short or small front teeth: Some people may have a genetic predisposition to this tooth shape, which can also result from tooth fractures or wear on the occlusal surface.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Minor aesthetic orthodontic adjustments.
How are they prepared?
Three appointments are needed to complete veneers.
During the first appointment, the tooth surface is prepared and measurements are taken. Temporary works are applied to protect the exposed structure.
The second appointment involves trying on the veneers and checking their fit.
The actual veneers are attached in a separate procedure during the third appointment. This is followed by two monitoring sessions:
The first check-up comes after a week to assess the gums around the veneers and ensure adequate and obstruction-free fitting.
The second follow-up session occurs after one year. An initial session may be necessary for complicated cases (or at the patient’s specific request), involving a mock-up with the final appearance of the veneers.
How long do they last?
Veneers are expected to last 10-20 years. Porcelain, containing organic substances, is susceptible to “plaque.” For this reason, veneers lose their freshness and shine over time and may need replacement. Procedures are straightforward when the tooth surface is prepared. Loss, damage, or chipping of a veneer requires its replacement. Your dentist will provide a protective mask and instructions for use.
