Dental veneers, which are designed to look completely natural, can correct most of the esthetic concerns you have about your smile. According to Ridgetop Dental International’s best dentists in Bangalore, though veneers can drastically change the appearance of your smile, there are certain things you should know about veneers before your treatment. Let’s take a look.

Can correct a variety of imperfections

Veneers can fix a variety of your smile related aesthetic concerns like-

  • Dark or yellow teeth
  • Unsightly gaps
  • Short teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Misaligned teeth

Needs removal of tooth material

Though veneers are one of the most conservative aesthetic restorations, they require a thin layer of tooth structure to be removed to allow veneer to be bonded to the tooth, without making it thick. Veneers are not considered reversible form of treatment.

You may or may not require sedation

Generally, veneer placement procedure does not require the use of a local anaesthetic, but if you suffer from dental anxiety, then your dentist may recommend local anaesthetic.

You may experience tooth sensitivity for sometime

Since, a small portion of your tooth's enamel covering will be removed; you may experience sensitivity to hot and cold for sometime, which will disappear in a few days after veneer placement.

Veneers are strong and tightly bonded to your teeth

 

Dental ceramic veneers are placed with a light-sensitive resin hardened with the use of a white light, effectively bonding them to your teeth. The veneers are so strong that they resist most of the forces placed on them, but extreme stress should be definitely avoided, like chewing hard food items, grinding your teeth etc.

SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

How long will my veneers last?

They can last up to twenty years, depending on your case. Their life depends on the teeth to which they are attached and the surrounding gum tissues, which change over the time. If a veneer falls off, it can be rebonded by an expert cosmetic dentist, like the cosmetic dentists at Ridgetop Dental International’s dental clinic in Bangalore.

Will I get cavities?

With regular dental checkups and basic at home care, like brushing and flossing, your veneers will stay protected from cavities.

Do veneers stain with normal things like tea, coffee and wine?

Porcelain veneers should never stain; however; you should avoid the things that cause staining of teeth, to prevent your other teeth from getting stained.

Can I opt for teeth whitening after veneer placement?

No, because whitening agents have no whitening effect on porcelain. So, if you want to have your teeth whitened, go for it before veneer placement, so that all teeth match perfectly.

Veneers are one of the best aesthetic restorations available in the field of modern dental sciences.
