Having the smile that you love can make all the difference and give you the confidence you require. Various cosmetic treatments help people get the smile of their dreams, dental veneers are the most popular choice of treatment these days. A thin layer of material applied to the front of a tooth is called a veneer, they’re used to improve the appearance of your teeth & protect the tooth’s surface from plaque formation.

Veneers are usually made from composite and dental porcelain materials. A composite veneer is either indirectly produced by a dental technician in a lab and then cemented to the tooth with a block of resin cement or directly attached to the tooth. They are most commonly utilised to treat adolescent patients who will require a more permanent design once they have reached adulthood. A composite veneer has a lifespan of about four years. A porcelain veneer, on the other hand, may only be made indirectly. A restoration that covers all of the coronal tooth surfaces, according to the definition of a complete veneer crown.

Advantages:

Dental veneers help combat discoloured teeth, malformed teeth, enamel hypo calcification (enamel not fully mineralised), fluorosis, tetracycline staining, non-vital tooth discolouration, enamel hypoplasia (insufficient enamel),  mal-aligned teeth, enamel fractures, enamel loss by erosion, and changing the shape of the tooth can all benefit from dental veneers. They give you a natural look, and a gorgeous smile boosts your self-esteem and confidence. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, and the dental process is not painful or time-consuming.

Patients who have veneers will need to maintain their regular dental hygiene routine (brush and floss at least twice a day, and also rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash). Veneers do not need to be treated in any way. Your dentist may advise you to stay away from stain-causing foods and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine). Veneers can last anywhere from seven to fifteen years, but they can chip or break over time. Small chips can be fixed, but new veneers are usually required.
