 Veneers are a popular treatment for a variety of smile problems. Veneers
are the ultimate restoration for spaces, chips, and fractures; resulting
in a dramatic cosmetic makeover. They are more involved than bonding with
fabrication done in a dental laboratory and require at least two visits.
The advantage that veneers have over bonding is their color stability and
much longer life expectancy.
Preparation of the veneer(s) is done in the first visit and may or may not
require use of a local anaesthetic. Due to the minimal amount of tooth
reduction, it is usually not necessary to fabricate any type of temporary
restoration. Should a temporary be needed, they can, in most circumstances,
be made at the time of treatment. In approximately one week, a dental
laboratory will fabricate the veneer(s) and a second visit to the dentist
is required to insert the veneer(s). The insertion can be accomplished
with or without local anaesthetic, as was the preparation. This visit is
usually longer in length. The laminates are placed with a light sensitive
resin that is hardened by using a white light. Veneers are not reversible
since a small amount of tooth enamel (about .5mm) is removed in adhering
the facing to the tooth.
Porcelain Laminate Veneers can beautify your smile by concealing stains,
chips, cracks, injuries, and misalignment. They are an excellent
alternative to crowns and are virtually undetectable. Veneers are
resistant to injury and are long-lasting, making them one of the best
cosmetic procedures options available.
