Dental Veneers at Smiles On Grenfell
There are few things that can make over your appearance like a beautiful smile. We want to help you love your smile by offering an array of cosmetic dental solutions such as veneers. If you have teeth that are uneven, discoloured, worn or chipped, veneers may be an ideal solution for you.
What are they?
Veneers are custom- fitted, ultrathin shells made of tooth coloured porcelain or composite. Because they are affixed to the tooth’s exterior, they can cover a multitude of imperfections.
The advantages of porcelain veneers
In addition to looking gorgeous, porcelain veneers can protect the teeth that have been damaged in some form. Veneers are also more budget- friendly as they cost less than crowns. Here are some other benefits:
Before the application of the veneers, the dentist will remove approximately ½ millimetre of enamel from the frontal surface of each tooth. Next an impression of your teeth will be taken to create a mould, from which the veneers will be fabricated. Your dentist will send the moulds to a lab where the veneers will be made. The prepared teeth are temporised with a temporary veneer, until the porcelain veneers have been made. Once fabricated the porcelain veneers are then cemented to the teeth with a tooth coloured cement, to create a very natural looking smile.
Composite Veneers
As a more cost-effective type of veneer, composite veneers are also an effective solution for concealing various tooth imperfections such as gaps, chips or stains. The process involves bonding then layers of composite resin to the front of your teeth. The application of composite veneers can be completed in one visit.
