Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made to fit over teeth and improve their color, shape and overall appearance. Placement of dental veneers can dramatically improve your smile and appearance.
In dentistry, a veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect the tooth’s surface from damage. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain.
Composite resin veneers or direct veneer will build up in the mouth, it’s accomplished in one visit. An adequate amount of tooth structure is removed to allow for placement of composite resin in the desired shape without added tooth bulk. Bonding agent is applied. Composite resin is then added, light cured, then finished and polished.
Porcelain veneers or indirect veneer, it make by a dental technician in a dental lab, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Resin veneers are thinner and require removal of less of the tooth surface before placement. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.
Veneers are routinely used to fix:
Teeth that are discolored either because of root canal treatment; stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)
- Multiple teeth to create a “Hollywood” type of makeover.
- Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
- Permanently externally stained and/or internally stained teeth.
