Porcelain Veneers For Improving Your Appearance

By Lionel Piedmont




Porcelain veneers are also referred to as dental porcelain laminates or dental veneers. They are fundamentally shells that are customized and thin as wafers and have the colour of tooth, designed to be placed over the teeth to make improvement to the appearance of the wearer. The length, size, shape or colour of the teeth is modified when the shells are fixed to the teeth front. Veneers employed in dental procedures can either be made from resin material or porcelain. When compared to the resin veneers, the porcelain veneers are way more immune to stain and can better imitate the light that reflects the appearance of natural teeth.

There are many reasons explaining why porcelain veneers are recommended by dentists. These include the teeth becoming discolored. Blackening can be on account of treatment for root canal, stains from drugs like tetracycline, too much fluoride or big fillings made from resin which modified the colour of the teeth. One more reason for applying porcelain veneers is because the teeth have worn down, damaged or chipped. Jagged, badly aligned or unevenly shaped teeth and those having openings between them are other reasons for using these sorts of veneers.

The placement of porcelain veneers needs a selected process. This include visiting the dentist 3 times for consultation, to design the veneer and then to apply them. The first step is the visit where the dentist looks to determine if veneers are appropriate for the patient, predicted outcomes and limitations are communicated and the mandatory x-rays and other exams carried out. Impressions of the teeth and mouth are likely to be made at this appointment.

During preparation for porcelain veneers, enamel of nearly a half millimeter will be removed from the outer surface of the tooth by the dentist to deal with the thickness size of the material that'll be added. A regular pain-killer will be applied to the area to numb it before the enamel is trimmed off. The dentist will carry out the process of making the impression or model of the tooth and send the model to a lab where the veneer will be assembled. The veneers will be returned to the dentist in two weeks or less. If the teeth are very upsetting looking, the dentist can put in brief veneers at a higher cost.

The dentist will carry out a series of checking, correcting, adjusting and fitting before going on to make the final step of permanently bonding the porcelain veneers to teeth. This is done after the teeth are cleaned and polished. They're also etched to give the teeth a coarse feel so that the bonding will competently hold. Adjustment to the colour of the veneer can be made to be suited to the cement shade being used.

It is really important for persons who are considering applying porcelain veneers to grasp that the process is not as horrifying as they would believe. The dentist will make sure the bonding chemicals are activated to harden quickly so the patient can begin to get accustomed to them quite soon. The patient might be required to go to the dentist again in 2 weeks so she can check the way in which the gums are reacting to the veneer and to look at the placement.
