VENEERS
Veneers can help you improve the beauty of your smile.
Veneersare thin shellsmadeof porcelain or composite resin that are placed over the frontsurfaceof a tooth to improve its appearance. They are custom-made to match the color, size, andshapeof the surroundingteeth,andare bondedto thetooth with a strong adhesive.
Veneerscan be usedto improve the appearanceof teeth that are stained, discolored, chipped,cracked, or misshapen.Theycan also be usedto close gaps between teeth, andto make teeth appear straighter andmore symmetrical.
The process of getting veneersusuallyrequirestwoappointmentswith a dentist. During the first appointment,the dentistwill prepare thetooth by removinga small amountof enamel from the front surface.An impression of thetooth will then be taken andsentto a dental laboratory, where theveneer will be custom-made. In the meantime, the patient will wear a temporary veneer.
Duringthesecondappointment,thetemporary veneerwill be removed, andthe permanentveneerwill be bondedto the tooth with a strong adhesive.The dentist will then make anynecessary adjustments to ensurethat the veneerfits properly andlooks natural.
