Dental veneers are thin coverings that are placed on top of the existing teeth to enhance their appearance and to protect them from surface damage. Unlike a crown where a mold covers the entire tooth surface area, veneers act more like a jacket. They are usually placed only on the front side of the teeth to either cover the existing enamel or form new enamel altogether. They can be compared to applying paint to your teeth to replace cracked or worn natural enamel.
Dental veneer procedures
To start with, a competent dentist has to examine if you are the right candidate for dental veneers. If the results turn to be positive, the next step involves deciding the type of veneer material that suits you best. There are two types, and they include composite and porcelain veneers. The type you choose dictates the dental procedure your specialist uses.
If for instance you settle for the composite veneers, your specialist will either choose direct or indirect veneers. Normally, direct veneers are created in layers where they are shaped to your teeth at your initial visit. The appearance of the teeth depends with the artistic ability of your specialist.
On the other hand, indirect veneers are more customized teeth services created in a dental lab using your teeth’s impression.
In order for a cosmetic dentist to apply either the composite or the porcelain veneers, they must fast eliminate the existing layer of enamel. This creates space for the accommodation of the veneers. Customized veneers require a second visit as it takes about two weeks.
During the installation of customized veneers, the teeth surface is roughened so that bonding agents can adhere well. Dental cement is then applied, and ultraviolet light applied to strengthen it and make it harden quickly.
