Veneers

Are you unhappy with your smile? Dental veneers are an excellent way to improve the appearance of your teeth and enhance your confidence. By bonding these custom-made shells to the front of your teeth, you can change their shape, size, colour, or length and fix a variety of common problems such as discoloured, worn down, chipped, broken, misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth, and gaps between teeth.

But which type of veneer material is right for you? Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant

and offer a natural appearance that closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. In contrast, resin veneers are thinner and require less tooth surface removal before placement. Your dentist will work with you to choose the best option for your needs.

Getting dental veneers is a simple and pain-free process that typically involves just three visits to the dentist. During the first visit, your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss the desired result you want to achieve. During the second visit you will be presented with your smile design and mock up of your proposed new smile.

During the third visit, your teeth will be prepared for the veneers. Finally, during the fourth visit, your dentist will bond the veneers to your teeth, leaving you with a beautiful, new smile.

Dental veneers offer many advantages, including a natural appearance, staining resistance, and a conservative approach to changing a tooth's colour and shape. They are a more robust and more aesthetic alternative to crowns. However, it's essential to remember that veneers are not reversible and are more costly than composite resin bonding. They may also cause sensitivity and are not repairable, and teeth with veneers can still experience decay. Veneers are not a good choice for individuals with unhealthy teeth.

Have you ever wondered how long your dental veneers will last? Well, we've got you covered! Veneers last between 5 and 10 years, which is a long-lasting solution to your dental woes!

The best part is you don't have to do anything special to maintain them. Just 

stick to your regular oral hygiene routine, which includes brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash, and your veneers will stay in top-notch condition.

However, it's important to note that even though porcelain veneers resist stains, you should try to avoid foods and drinks that can cause stains. For example, coffee, tea, and red wine can cause discolouration, which can be a bummer, especially if you want your veneers to remain pristine.

Remember, taking care of your veneers is crucial. So, follow good oral hygiene practices, and you'll be rewarded with beautiful, functional veneers that will last for years to come!
