Composite & Porcelain Veneers
A veneer can help you fulfill your dream of having whiter and straighter teeth. It not only improves the look of the stained or crooked teeth but is also helpful in changing the shape, size, and color of the teeth.
A veneer is a thin shell covering a portion of the tooth to improve its look and protect it from damage. Most of the patients choose veneers to improve the appearance of their teeth, and some use them for restorative functions.
There are two main types of traditional veneers. Porcelain veneers are a commonly used type of veneer. They are made of durable ceramic materials. These veneers are stain-resistant and give a natural look to the teeth. Another popular type is the Composite Veneers. Made of resin composite material, they are less expensive than porcelain veneers. You can get it even on the same day. So, if you have discolored, chipped, or damaged teeth, then visit Bull Creek Dental and improve the appearance of your teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells usually made of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth by enhancing their shape, size, color, and alignment.
Veneers can effectively address a range of cosmetic dental concerns, including chipped, stained, discolored, or misaligned teeth. They can also close small gaps between teeth and improve the appearance of worn or uneven tooth edges.
The application of dental veneers typically involves three main steps: (a) consultation and treatment planning, (b) preparation of the teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel, and (c) bonding the veneers to the tooth surface using dental adhesive.
Veneers are considered a permanent dental treatment, as a small amount of tooth enamel is removed during the preparation process. Once the enamel is removed, it cannot grow back. With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last for many years.
Veneers do not require any special care beyond regular oral hygiene practices. Brushing, flossing, and attending regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining oral health and the longevity of veneers.
Modern dental veneers are designed to closely resemble the natural appearance of teeth. Porcelain veneers, in particular, have a translucent quality that mimics the look of natural enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains compared to natural tooth enamel. However, it's still advisable to avoid excessive consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to maintain the longevity of the veneers.
Most people are good candidates for veneers, but an initial dental evaluation is necessary to determine eligibility. Individuals with severe tooth decay, gum disease, or inadequate tooth enamel for bonding may not be suitable candidates.
The preparation process for veneers involves removing a thin layer of enamel, which may be irreversible. However, the amount of enamel removed is minimal, and the procedure is performed with precision to preserve the tooth's strength and integrity.
In the event of minor damage to veneers, such as chipping, they may be repairable. However, significant damage might require replacement. Regular dental check-ups can identify and address any issues with veneers promptly.
