The Wonders of Dental Veneers
Tuesday, October 4th, 2011Dental veneers are composed out of custom-made shells made of tooth-colored materials that help cover the front surface of the tooth, these are also known as porcelain veneers or porcelain laminates. These thin shells are stuck to the front of the teeth to change their color, shape, size or length and therefore improve your appearance. The objective of this procedure is to protect the damaged teeth or improve the appearance of teeth. This is similar to a false fingernail which can be put over your old nails.
Teeth are covered by enamel, which is a hard substance that turns a dull color and becomes faded in due time because it wears out from lifestyle choices such as softdrinks, coffee, tea, smoking or even drugs.(see )
When teeth are damaged due to roughness, cuts or cracks, dental veneers can be used to solve these problems. They are not only pleasing to the eyes, but will also help keep the damaged surface protected. Veneers are also used to replace the need for a crown, avoiding tooth preparation that will be more invasive.
Composite resins and porcelain veneers are the two materials that are commonly used in manufacturing dental veneers. Composite plates can be built in the mouth by putting it directly on the teeth and the alternative can be made at a dental lab with a dental specialist who will bond the teeth with the use of resin cement.
Porcelain veneers are manufactured and prepared at a later time because they cannot be built inside the mouth. Despite the expensive rates for porcelain veneers, these kinds of dental veneers last much longer.
For small cracks or chips on your teeth, you’ll spend less if you can recreate the bonding processes in your teeth instead. White composite filling can be used to fix minor teeth problems and ensure your teeth’s function and cosmetic appeal to everyone else.
