Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are among the most widely used cosmetic dental procedures. They are thin, tooth-colored shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of your smile and are an excellent option for treating damaged, discolored, or misshapen teeth. Veneers are made from high-quality porcelain that is very durable and looks natural. The porcelain can be matched to the color of your natural teeth so that they blend in seamlessly. Veneers for teeth are also stain-resistant, which means they won’t yellow with time. Porcelain veneer cost differs.

Why choose porcelain veneers?

  • It has a natural appearance and feel.

Porcelain veneers are designed to look exactly like your natural tooth enamel. A dental imprint of your teeth will be made during your initial visit. The lab where your veneers porcelain are manufactured receives these dental impressions. Your dentist will make minor modifications to the color and fit of your veneers when you return to the dental office. Porcelain veneers appear and feel more natural than other forms of dental coverings.

 

  • Minimal Invasion.

Porcelain veneers don’t require as much tooth enamel to be removed from the surface as other tooth repair methods do. Veneers protect more tooth enamel than dental crowns, which is why many patients prefer them.

 

Porcelain veneers may only be bonded to the front of your teeth. Since the veneers treatment is noninvasive, you may not even require anaesthesia when your dentist removes enamel.

 

  • Easy to maintain

Maintain veneers in the same manner as natural teeth. This includes brushing twice a day and flossing once a day to eliminate plaque. Additionally, be sure you go to the dentist consistently. Your veneers will remain flawlessly white with this easy maintenance, giving you a stunning, healthy smile. Dental veneers are more resistant to stains and cavities than natural tooth enamel because they are non-porous. In other words, maintaining veneers requires very little work.

Porcelain veneer procedure

The procedure for getting porcelain veneers is relatively simple. First, your dentist will clean your teeth and roughen up the surface to help the bonding process. Next, they will take an impression of your teeth and send it to a lab where your veneers will be custom-made. Once your veneers are ready, your dentist will bond them to your teeth and make any final adjustments. With the right maintenance, porcelain veneers may last for many years. Make sure you consistently brush, floss, and see the dentist for checkups. Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, and don’t use your teeth as tools (for example, don’t open bottles with them).
