Veneers |
||
 |
If your teeth are stained, broken, or shaped in
a way that is not pleasing to you, then you may want to consider procelain
laminate veneers to enhance your smile. Veneers are very thin coverings
that are custom made from porcelain for concealing the surfaces of your
teeth. They can make uneven teeth even, make stained teeth appear white,
fill in gaps between teeth, and make broken teeth appear whole. Porcelain
veneers are the most natural-looking choice among cosmetic restorations.
Even though veneers are a thin covering, they are extremely strong and
durable and will generally not need to be replaced for 4 to 10 years.

How are Veneers Applied?
 |
Applying veneers is a 2 visit procedure. During your first visit, your
teeth will be prepared for the application of veneers by the removal
of a very thin layer of enamel. A mold of your teeth will also be made
in order for the veneers to be custom designed for your mouth. You should
continue to brush and floss as usual. |
|
Do Veneers need special care?
|
You should care for your veneers just as you would your natural teeth. They should be brushed after each meal and before bedtime and flossed daily. You should not bite on anything hard that may damage or break your veneers, especially nail biting. You may also experience some sensitivity to hot and cold, which usually subsides within two weeks. |
