Porcelain Veneers

What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin pieces of material, usually porcelain, that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They can completely transform your smile, giving you the confidence to smile freely and enjoy your life to the fullest.

Veneers can change the color, shape, size, or length of your teeth, resulting in a truly transformative smile.

Types of Veneers:

• Porcelain Veneers: Made from thin porcelain sheets, these veneers are custom-made to fit over the front surface of the tooth. They are known for their durability, resistance to stains, and natural-looking appearance. Porcelain veneers are ideal for improving the appearance of discolored, worn, uneven, chipped, or gapped teeth.
• Composite Veneers: These veneers are made of a tooth-colored composite resin material that is directly applied to the front surface of the tooth. They are a more affordable option than porcelain veneers and can be completed in a single visit. However, they are not as durable or stain-resistant as porcelain veneers. Composite veneers are suitable for improving the appearance of discolored, chipped, or uneven teeth.

Problems that Porcelain Veneers can Address:

Porcelain veneers can effectively cover up various issues that may make you self-conscious about your smile. They are suitable for fixing teeth that are:

• Worn down
• Chipped or broken
• Misaligned, with irregular shapes or unevenness
• Spaced out with gaps between them
• Discolored due to factors such as root canal treatment, old large composite fillings, excessive fluoride, or stains from certain drugs like tetracycline.

Pros and Cons of Porcelain Veneers:

Porcelain veneers offer several advantages in cosmetic dentistry, including their stain resistance, the option to choose a lighter shade for permanently whitening dark teeth, and their ability to mimic the natural light-reflecting properties of teeth. They also tend to be well-tolerated by gums, resulting in less discomfort and inflammation. However, it's important to consider the disadvantages as well. Porcelain veneers are a permanent treatment, and they are more expensive compared to other materials. People who grind or clench their teeth may not be suitable candidates as it can lead to chipping or cracking of the veneers.

It's essential to maintain proper oral care by brushing your teeth correctly at home and visiting Sinanak Clinic for regular check-ups and dental cleaning to prevent cavities and decay. Remember that once a veneer is cemented, its shade cannot be altered. If you plan to have porcelain veneers, it's advisable to whiten your other teeth before getting the veneers fitted.

The process of getting dental veneers involves three pain-free visits to Sinanak Clinic.

• Step 1: The Consultation
  
  During the consultation, we will discuss your desired smile and will examine your teeth to determine if dental veneers are suitable for you. The dentist will also provide information on the cost, procedure, and any limitations. X-rays, and impressions, will be taken, along with photographs of your mouth and teeth.


• Step 2: Temporary Veneers "Test Drive"
  
  Once you decide to proceed with veneers, your Sinanak Clinic’s dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small portion of the tooth surface to make space for the veneers. Local anesthesia will be used to ensure your comfort. An impression of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom veneers will be created. This process usually takes around two weeks.
  
  While waiting for your permanent veneers, you will be provided with temporary veneers. These temporary veneers allow you to preview how your smile will look and you will be able to request any desired adjustments.


• Step 3: Your New Smile
  When your custom porcelain veneers are ready, your dentist will remove the temporary veneers and try on the new ones. They will ensure the proper fit, color, and shape before permanently bonding the veneers to your teeth. Excess material will be trimmed, and your bite will be examined and adjusted as needed to ensure a comfortable and functional outcome.

Caring for your dental veneers is simple and doesn't require any specialized care. By following these instructions, you can ensure that your porcelain veneers last longer before needing replacement:

• Maintain proper oral care: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss regularly to keep both your natural teeth and veneers clean and healthy.
• Avoid biting on hard objects: Refrain from biting on hard objects like pens, pencils, or fingernails, as this can potentially damage your veneers.
• Check-ups and Dental cleaning: Don’t miss out on your scheduled checkups and dental cleaning dates at Sinanak Clinic to check the condition of your veneers and address any issues that may arise.
• Prevent teeth grinding and clenching: If you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, consider using a night guard to protect your veneers from damage.

It's essential to follow the instructions provided by your Sinanak Clinic’s dentist for the best results and longevity of your veneers.
