It is the dentist who can only tell you which veneers will look best for you. Since a lot of factors have to be kept in mind while choosing the ideal veneers.

Let us talk about the types of veneers in detail

Porcelain veneers

These are the veneers that are made based on the customised needs to be a perfect fit for the teeth:

Advantages:

• These are firm and will not break in your mouth, so discard that fear.

• They give a natural appearance to the teeth.

• Mitigated removal of the enamel as compared to the crowns or the caps

• These do not get stained at such an early stage.

How are porcelain veneers placed?

• Step 1: Removal of the enamel

To make the room for the veneer placement, some enamel is withdrawn from both the front and the back sides of the tooth.

• Step 2: Perfection is sought

To make veneers look aesthetically pleasing, they are made taking into account the exact shade of the other teeth. The dentist will take the impression of your teeth and it customarily takes one week for the veneers to get prepared.

• Step 3: Placements

Once the shape and size of the veneers come out to be suitable for teeth, then the dentist will place them after thoroughly cleaning the teeth.

Composite resin veneers

The main benefit of these veneers is the exact tooth colony matching following. Let’s study some other benefits also:

Benefits:

• Fewer visits to dentists will be required as compared to ones that are associated with the porcelain veneers.

• These are cost-effective.

• These can be fixed easily if they encounter any kind of damage.

How are composite resin veneers placed?

• Step 1: Sculpting of the veneers

Once the teeth are reshaped, the dentists carry out the sculpting by particularly using the matching colour.

• Step 2: Hardening of the material

The special kind of light helps in the hardening of the material and makes it get bonded to your teeth.

• Step 3: Final touches

This stage involves the smoothening of the veneers to make them inhibit the natural look.

Final thoughts

For the treatment of chipped, crooked, misshapen or stained tooth, consult our dentists who have gained expertise in this field.

Some people are facing the problem of crooked teeth for which they choose the option of metal braces to get their teeth straight. If you do not want to get your appearance changed or do not want to wear braces for 18 months to 3 years then there are other options available which the patients can opt for. It means patients looking to get immediate results should opt for porcelain veneers. Here are some of the reasons for selecting this option:

Get your teeth straight fastly

Your dentist will let you know in detail about the time needed for different treatment options. When you wear fixed orthodontics there are changes need to be made which include brushing also. For a long time, you won’t be able to eat a certain type of food as they need to be worn for 22 hours a day.

But with porcelain veneers, you can achieve a great smile within 2 weeks. Once the consultation and impressions are taken, the fabrication process will be started. Once they are made you visit the dental clinic to get them fixed which will cover the crooked teeth or gaps. The option of veneers is best for patients who have a minor misalignment. If the problem is severe then treatment will be made accordingly.

Veneers are comfortable to wear

Wearing braces and clear aligners are going to be slightly uncomfortable. Even in some cases, these options are not at all a choice because the patient is allergic to the metal and plastic material. As long as you are able to remove the tooth enamel (minimal amount and the process is painless) to get them placed for covering the imperfections. Additionally, to place the veneers no force is needed so there is no discomfort.

No need of wearing retainers

Once the braces come off or you are done wearing the last pair of aligners then there is still a need to wear a retainer. You need to wear it 24*7 and until the doctor determines that the teeth are shifted fully. This is done so that relapses are prevented in future. But with the porcelain veneers, there is no such problem of wearing retainers as it will automatically help you keep your smile bright and beautiful.
