Dental veneers are custom-made shells that  are placed over the front surfaces of your teeth. They hide stains, chips, cracks, and other flaws in appearance. One of the most popular procedures in cosmetic dentistry is veneer placement. 

Transform the appearance of your – smile with dental veneers. 

Veneers from Fort Lauderdale Dental Aesthetic Center are customized to fulfill your aesthetic and cosmetic goals while producing results that are both functional and long-lasting. Let’s learn more about veneers and are they the best option for you. 

Veneers: What are they?

The front surfaces of your teeth are covered by veneers. To make them, technicians employ premium dental materials such as porcelain – that is tinted like teeth.

Veneers on teeth are just aesthetic. Numerous visual flaws, like as chips, cracks, gaps, discolored teeth, and more, can be hidden by them.

How Do Veneers Function?

Veneers improve your smile by covering the front surfaces of your teeth. They function by hiding aesthetic defects.

Dental Veneers: Who Needs Them?

Veneers are an option for anyone looking to improve the appearance of their smile. These dental repairs have the ability to blend in:

  • Damaged or chipped teeth.
  • Diastema, or the spaces or gaps in your smile.
  • Stains for which tooth whitening is ineffective.
  • Teeth of insufficient size.
  • Teeth that are not quite right.

Remember that veneers are only a possibility if you are clear of gum disease and severe cavities. Before considering cosmetic procedures, you should take care of any significant oral health problems you may have.

Do I Need Natural-Looking Veneers?

Veneers may be a suitable option for anyone who is dissatisfied with their smile, especially if they have healthy gums, practice good oral hygiene, and have decent bone health. Veneers may be an excellent choice if you wish to alter the color, shape, or size of your teeth.

If your teeth are crooked and you want to straighten them, you might want to look into other choices first. Braces or Invisalign are two examples of these options.

Alternatives to Teeth Whitening and Dental Veneers

Whitening your teeth can help remove surface stains from items like soda, red wine, and coffee. Dental bleaching can brighten teeth by up to eight shades, making it an excellent alternative if discoloration or staining is the primary issue.

Dental Adhesion

It is possible to fix teeth chips and cracks with this technique. To fix any flaws in your teeth, a tooth-colored resin and bonding adhesive are usually employed to fix the porcelain veneer to your teeth

Dental Crowns

In contrast to dental veneers, dental crowns cover the entire teeth and not only the front surface as required for dental veneers. Teeth compromised or weakened structurally can be restored with dental crowns. Additionally, crowns can be utilized to prevent tooth decay. This choice is typically made when there is a need to improve aesthetics and maintain the health of the tooth with a sustainable option for full coverage of the tooth. 

With Invisalign

Using transparent aligners, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that gradually realigns teeth. For a year or longer, patients wear clear aligners to realign their teeth. When teeth are excessively crooked, they may need extensive reduction of the tooth surface. In such cases, dental aligners or braces may be recommended instead of dental veneers.

Misconceptions About Veneers and Teeth Shaving

It’s a widely held misconception that in order to apply veneers, a person’s teeth must be cut down to sharp fangs. This is untrue. For the majority of individuals, shaving their teeth will be very minimal as much as 1 – 1.5mm on the front surface only  to place the veneers.

In order for veneers to sit flush on severely crooked teeth, the patient may need to have substantial tooth shaving done beforehand, which is why dental aligners or braces may be a better option.

The Procedure: What Takes Place When Getting Dental Veneers?

To receive porcelain veneers, you will require three appointments. A consultation will take place during the first appointment, veneer preparation and temporary veneers will take place during the second session, and the permanent veneer application will take place during the third appointment. It will take about two weeks to complete the process after your second appointment.

Diagnosis and Treatment Strategy Development

The dentist will check your teeth and talk with you about your goals during your first session. The dentist will make every effort to ensure that you are aware of the procedure’s restrictions and that you know exactly what to anticipate.

X-rays could be taken by the dentist.

Getting Ready

You will schedule a time during the preparation phase so that an impression or model of your teeth are created. The dentist will prepare your teeth during this  appointment.

You will be equipped with temporary dental veneers while the veneers are produced in a laboratory, which will take two to three weeks.

Utilization and Attachment

Your dental veneers will be fixed on the third appointment. After making any necessary adjustments to the shape and placement, dental bonding materials will be administered to seal them to the teeth. –

Prior to the veneers being affixed, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned and polished. We’ll also take care of any additional etching or shaving that may be required. The size and placement of the veneers will be adjusted as needed. After that, the dentist will illuminate it with light to activate the cement’s ingredients and hasten its hardening process. Prior to the process being finished, any extra cement will be eliminated.

Your dentist will go over aftercare with you and schedule a follow-up appointment to make sure everything is going well.
