When men and women seek cosmetic dentistry to improve their smiles, porcelain veneers are a celebrated option. Unlike a crown that completely covers the tooth, a veneer is a super thin layer of very tough porcelain, composite bonding, or ceramic. When bonded to a tooth, the veneer creates a natural, translucent, and new surface. It improves the appearance of the visible portion of your tooth instantly.
To begin, you will need a consultation with your dentist, who should have expertise in cosmetic procedures. You should examine what you do not like about your smile and ascertain how you want it improved. Veneers may not be ideal for you. Other cosmetic dental procedures are available that may be a better fit for the features you wish to change.
Porcelain veneers can repair many minor to moderate problems, including the size, shape, and color of your teeth. Gaps between teeth can be filled, as well as the lengthening or shortening of teeth to complete your nice smile.
Your dentist will also discuss both types of veneers: traditional veneers and prepless veneers. Before a traditional veneer is put on the tooth, the dentist first removes a very thin layer of enamel. Enamel cannot be replaced, which is one reason this method is permanent.
The second procedure is called ‘no-prep’ or ‘prepless.’ With this type, enamel removal is typically not needed. When no enamel is removed, the treatment can be reversible. However, this method has specific criteria.
In addition, it is possible to use both types of veneers for multiple teeth, depending on the condition of each tooth.
Your dentist will help you assess your unique needs and advise you on how to reach your goals. Once you and your dentist have created a dental plan, your dentist will work with a laboratory and dental team to ensure everything is carried out as outlined.
