Dental veneers are delicate, tooth-colored coatings placed over the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They are often composed of porcelain or a resin-composite substance and permanently attach to your tooth. A dental veneers procedure can transform damaged, broken, deformed, or stained teeth into suitably sized, naturally colored teeth, which may amaze people.
Before getting your veneers, you'll have a screening meeting with your dentist to determine which options are best for the patient and how many surfaces you wish to have. If your teeth are crooked or uneven, your dentist may recommend braces before placing the veneers.
At this step, your dentist will probably take X-rays to examine your dental health. They'll be on the search for symptoms of oral disease, gum disease, or the need for root canal treatment. In case you face any of these problems, veneers may not be a solution for you.
At the next visit, your dentist will take off around half a millimeter of your teeth (using a cutting instrument to take the surface) before taking a mold (imprint) of your tooth. This mold goes to the laboratory, where they use it to create custom veneers.
You are cleaning your dental veneers the same way you would your natural teeth. In contrast to other dental treatments, the healing time is relatively short. Instead, you can normally eat and chew food after the bonding of veneers and any medications have faded.
