Understanding how dental veneers work
Dental veneers are essentially very thin shells made of porcelain that are bonded onto the front surface of a tooth to cover imperfections. This restoration will last many years before it needs to be replaced as long as patients take good care in protecting them and cleaning them. It is a more desirable option than alternatives such as composite resin bonding, which is susceptible to staining and is intended as a more short-term solution. Dental veneers are custom-made to match the patient’s smile in shape, size, and color and are natural-looking enough that others are often unaware that cosmetic dental work had been done.

Frequently asked questions

Veneers can be used to close gaps and large spaces between front teeth, whiten teeth with severe discoloration or staining, correct the appearance of a crooked or misaligned tooth, address irregularly shaped or unusually short teeth, restore worn, broken, or chipped teeth, and conceal cracks or other imperfections on a tooth.
Obtaining a porcelain veneer is often a multi-step procedure. The first step is to schedule an appointment with a prosthodontist. You can discuss your objectives and concerns at this session, and a prosthodontist will explain how veneers will work for you. Your teeth will require X-rays or impressions. The tooth is then prepared for the veneer in the second phase. An imprint is created after a little piece of tooth structure is removed. After that, the prosthodontist will insert temporary veneers. The temporaries are removed at the following session, and the final veneer is attached to your tooth.
Veneer preparation preserves the most considerable amount of tooth structure possible because very little is removed. They can improve the look of your teeth, and gum tissues adapt well to dental veneers. The color may be chosen specifically, and porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
Patients are usually sedated throughout the veneering procedure. Once the numbness takes effect, there should be no pain.
