Dental Veneers Cosmetic dentistry has plenty of options. If you want teeth that look great, you may want to consider the idea of getting veneers. Our team at Robert F. Walker Jr. DDS knows a thing or two about improving smiles.If you do not know what veneers are, do not worry. We will explain to you what they are and how they work. You may or may not be a candidate for veneers, but a consultation with the dentist will make that final determination. Improving your smile may be difficult if you have limited options. However, the dentist will find the best one for you, and it may be veneers. What Are Veneers?Veneers are made of either porcelain or ceramic. They are thin shells that fit over your teeth and protect your teeth from further damage. The veneers are colored to match your regular teeth. Veneers are considered to be more of a cosmetic enhancement as opposed to a dental treatment for those dealing with severe tooth decay. Many patients will choose veneers so their teeth look their best. Why Veneers?One of the reasons why people get veneers are for cosmetic reasons. Patients may be worried about stains and discoloration. At the same time, you can get them as a way to repair teeth due to non-tooth decay related issues. These issues include teeth grinding, dental injury, or other habits that may cause damage to teeth. Types Of VeneersThere are five different types of veneers to choose from: porcelain, composite, lumineers, palatals, and removable veneers. The most common veneers chosen by patients are porcelain or ceramic. The reason being is that those two types of veneers are said to last a long time. If you choose to get porcelain or ceramic veneers, they will last roughly 10 to 15 years. They can last this long if you take care of the veneers and the rest of your teeth properly. How Veneers Are PreparedThe process for veneers starts with the dentist removing small amounts of enamel from both the front and sides of the teeth. This will provide space for the placement of veneers. Next, the dentist will then make an impression of the teeth that will be used to put the veneers in place. Once the impression is made, it is sent to a lab where the customization of your veneers begins. This will usually take several days before this process is complete. In the meantime, you may have the option to wear temporary veneers. Your next visit is when the veneers themselves are put into place. They are then bonded to the teeth and you are all set. Any further changes can be made in future appointments at the discretion of the dentist. What To Know Before Getting VeneersIt is important to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy before getting veneers. If you are known to clench and grind your teeth regularly, these may not be right for you. Be sure to discuss any treatment options with your dentist if you have any questions.
