Dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry procedure that amends visual issues with the teeth that form the smile. The below issues are commonly remedied with the use of dental veneers at your local Palm Beach Dentist or other dentist near me:
- Chipped or damaged teeth
- Discoloured or stained teeth
- Crooked or spaced teeth
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
- Overly small teeth
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are a thin cover or shell that is made to be fitted to the outer surface of the tooth. Once bonded, veneers cover cosmetic issues with the teeth that sit behind. They can also make your teeth a more desirable shape.
Dental veneers procedure
Your no gap dentist Palm Beach will generally first remove plaque, tartar and any decay from the teeth in question. They may also need to remove any old fillings. Sometimes it is necessary to prepare the tooth further, by making it an appropriate shape for the veneer (though this may not be necessary for non-prep veneers).
It may also be required that your Gold Coast Dentist take a mould or impression of your teeth, to ensure that the veneers will be a perfect fit.
How many dental veneers you need depends on your smile. Some people may only need one dental veneer if they are lucky enough to have an issue with only one tooth. However, issues often affect all the front teeth. Having the main 8, 10, or 12 frontal teeth fitted with veneers is one way to create a uniform and perfect smile.
What different types of dental veneers are available?
Veneers differ in terms of the type of material that is used, and in terms of how much preparation is necessary. The main types of variation are between:
- Composite veneer material and porcelain veneer material
- Veneers that require preparation and non-prep veneers
- The number of additional treatments that are included to improve the appearance of your teeth. For example, your Gold Coast Dentist may offer a scale and clean, fluoride treatment, and a sleep guard as part of your dental veneer package.
Your Palm Beach dental clinic will be able to advise on the pros and cons of every type of veneer so you can make an informed decision that best suits your circumstances.
