What are veneers?
Veneers are a highly popular service offered as part of a series of treatments that come under the term cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry refers to treatments and procedures that are carried out with the primary intention of changing and improving the appearance of the patient’s smile.
In most instances, veneers are made from high-grade porcelain, although further options including veneers made from composite resin and zirconia are also becoming more widely available. Nevertheless, porcelain veneers are the most commonly provided and have proven to be highly successful. Each veneer, which looks similar in size and thickness to a fingernail, is custom designed to fit each specific tooth you wish to be addressed, and then glazed in a shade that closely resembles your natural teeth. It is possible for a patient to have a single veneer, or in some cases whereby the entire smile is discolored or stained, an entire set. Each is applied individually, enabling your dentist to correct a variety of esthetic problems with your smile, including:
- Covering stains and discoloration, particularly where whitening isn’t possible or has proved unsuccessful
- Small, unsightly gaps between your teeth
- Improving the height of teeth that seem shorter than the others
How are porcelain veneers fitted?
The procedure to fit you with your new porcelain veneers is very simple and straightforward. It is also minimally invasive, and patients should feel no more than a little pressure during and a little sensitivity after their procedure. Nevertheless, in order for the veneers to fit properly and sit flush against your natural teeth without looking unusually thick or artificial, it is first necessary for your dentist to file down some of the natural enamel of your teeth. This is done while you are under the effects of a local anesthetic, so you will not feel any pain. However, since enamel cannot regrow, once the process to remove it so that your veneers can be fitted has begun, you will always require veneers on the affected tooth.
