VENEERS
A veneer is a thin covering that is placed over only the front part of the tooth. They are a popular option because they use most of the present tooth structure and can correct a variety of problems. If you have tooth discoloration, slightly crooked or poorly shaped front teeth, this can be a good option. Veneers can also be used to correct teeth that are chipped or worn, and can correct uneven spaces or a slight gap in front teeth.
There are two kinds of veneers: ceramic and composite resin.
Ceramic veneers are made of strong and durable dental ceramic and are extremely thin. They have a very smooth translucent surface that provides a very natural appearance. They are more resistant to staining than composite veneers but may require more visits to complete. A small amount of enamel is removed from the front and sides of the tooth. The thin layer of veneer is placed over this tooth structure, without making the restored tooth look bulky or unnatural. The veneer is then permanently bonded to the tooth with dental cement.
A composite resin is generally done in one appointment. They are generally not as strong or wear-resistant as ceramic, but should they fracture, composite veneers are easily and quickly repaired. With a composite veneer, once the tooth is prepared, the composite material is bonded and sculpted to match your other teeth. A special light is used to harden the composite and the veneer is smoothed and polished to look like a natural tooth.
At your initial consultation, you and the doctor will discuss the most suitable material for your veneer, based on durability, color and natural look.
