Ceramic/Composite Veneers

Ceramic/Composite Veneers

Many patients are discovering the benefits of Dental Veneers. Unlike a dental crown which covers the entire tooth, dental veneer is a thin covering that is placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth. Participating dentists apply veneers in a simple, comfortable procedure that takes just a few visits.

Dental Veneers are a popular treatment option for several reasons. They generally are placed on upper front teeth that are severely discoloured, poorly shaped or slightly crooked. Veneers may be used to lighten front that are naturally yellow or have a gray cast and can not be whitened by bleaching. Veneers are sometimes used to correct teeth that are chipped or worn. They also may be used to correct uneven spaces or a diastema (a large, noticeable gap between the upper front teeth).

Porcelain Veneers

Dental Veneers – porcelain resin Preparations for porcelain veneers are always dictated by three-dimensional steps on how the final restoration is to be placed within the shape of the patient’s face, mouth, lips, and entire gingiva. This is finalized by a smile design with patient inputs and requirements and is to be personally verified based on use. The dental clinic technician should always work backward to remove teeth structure based on the individual material requirements for space (such as thickness of the entire restorative dental material).

Cost of Dental Veneers

The cost of dental veneers varies from each dentist and patient’s case. A heavily restored patient’s teeth, worn out teeth and any teeth set with insufficient enamel available for dental bonding or teeth too weak to fight functional forces. Also, where the spaces requiring closure are too wide to be closed just by increasing tooth width alone. Any discolouration of the tooth is critical to be masked by a small sheet of porcelain veneer and where thickening of the veneer would require extensive preparation into dentin. non-vital teeth for reasons of tooth weakness and the possibility of unfavourable, subsequent, colour changes.

Types of Veneers

There are two types of dental veneers: resin-based composite veneers and ceramic veneers (sometimes called laminates).

Resin-based Composite Veneers

Resin-based Composite Veneers generally are placed in one appointment. After the tooth is prepared or reshaped, the dentist carefully bonds and sculpts the composite material in a colour that matches your other teeth. A special light is used to harden the composite. The veneer is smoothed and polished to look like a natural tooth.

Ceramic Veneers

Ceramic Veneers are extremely thin shells made of strong and durable dental ceramics. The dentist removes a small amount of enamel from the front and sides of the tooth. This makes room for the veneer and prevents the restored tooth from feeling or looking bulky or unnatural.

Next, the dentist makes an impression of the prepared teeth so that the shape of the preparations and surrounding teeth can be replicated in the dental laboratory. The dentist also looks for the shade that will best match or blend with the other teeth. The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory that makes the ceramic veneers to fit your teeth. This may take several days.

At the next visit, the dentist places the veneers on the teeth to check the fit and shape. After any adjustments, the teeth are cleaned and the ceramic veneers are bonded to the teeth with dental cement. Further adjustments may be done at a subsequent appointment.
