What Are Veneers?

Sometimes called porcelain veneers or porcelain laminate, veneers are pieces of wafer-thin porcelain that are permanently bonded to teeth.

Veneers can be applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth and are effective at correcting issues with colour, shape and positioning in the mouth.

What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?

Dental veneers are effective at correcting many types of problems with teeth, particularly cosmetic issues.

Veneers are ideal for fixing:

  • Tooth discolouration due to root canal therapy, medications, excessive fluoride, injury (such as those in a childhood fall, car or sports accident) or large fillings.
  • Staining that just won’t budge no matter how many whitening treatments you have tried at home or at the dentist.
  • Broken, cracked and chipped teeth.
  • Teeth that are worn down from grinding (bruxism).
  • Uneven or unusually shaped teeth.
  • Misaligned teeth that don’t fit with others in the jaw.
  • Narrow teeth that create gaps in your smile, veneers can close the gaps.

What to Expect During a Dental Veneer Procedure

A dental veneer procedure is relatively quick compared with other cosmetic or restorative dentistry procedures. Unlike dental implants or crowns which can take multiple visits over a period of months, veneers can be finished in a few visits just days or weeks apart.

  • Process For Getting Veneers

    1. Book a consultation with your dentist to get as much information as possible. Your dentist will discuss possible complications and let you know what veneers can achieve for your smile. X-rays and moulds are also done to aid in the preparation of the veneers.
    2. On your second visit, a local anesthetic will be applied and the tooth ground down in preparation for the application of a temporary veneer. Often the tooth will be significantly ground down past the enamel, this is irreversible and means you will require a veneer or crown for the life of the tooth.
    3. Your third visit for final veneer placement involves the veneers being shaped and adjusted before being cemented into place. This can take many hours and involves a deep and thorough clean of the tooth or teeth This helps to eliminate the risk of decay occurring between the tooth and veneer.
    4. At the second to last step, ultraviolet light is applied to harden and bind the adhesive between your tooth and the veneer.
    5. The tooth is cleaned of any residual dentistry cement and minor adjustments made to ensure the comfort of your bite and that they look great.

  • What Is Recovery From Veneers Like?

    Most patients experience some tooth sensitivity in the two weeks following treatment. You may also experience some tenderness in the gums as they change to accommodate the veneers. Veneers can feel a little foreign in your mouth at first. Expect a period of adjustment while you get used to your new smile.
    Should you experience excessive pain and discomfort, contact your dentist immediately. This could indicate an issue with the health of the tooth.

  • How Long Do Veneers Last?

    Veneers are not considered a permanent solution, very few dental procedures are. However, when well cared for as part of your usual dental hygiene routine, they should last between 7 – 15 years.

Surely, you can find the best answers to common concerns about our clinic and the treatments available.

The application of veneers is normally painless. The majority of patients have no more than moderate discomfort during the tooth preparation phase. Local anaesthesia is normally applied to ensure no pain during the procedure and normally there may be minor discomfort afterwards.

Veneers can also make slightly crooked or misaligned teeth run in a straight line which may help to create a nicely aligned smile. Yet, if misalignment is significantly worse, then the use of either braces or Invisalign is more appropriate.

There is no special care that needs to be taken for veneers; just like with any other tooth structure, they must be cleaned daily. To keep them in place and healthy, and for your real teeth, you should brush, floss and see your prosthodontist from time to time.

Veneers are a long-term solution since a part of the enamel is shaved off to fit the veneers onto your teeth. In some cases, they can be changed but cannot be done away with totally since this will cause an impingement of the natural base of the tooth.

Veneers are ideal for all individuals with sound health of their gums and teeth, but fitted for different purposes depending on a person’s age. But it depends on their condition and they may not be appropriate for people with major tooth decay, gum disease, or bruxism. You can get an appointment with our dental practitioner to get advice on whether to undertake veneers or not.

The average dental veneer cost range is from $300 to $1800. The price of veneers depends on the material that was used, the teeth condition, and additional check-ups and treatments required. Porcelain veneers are costlier than composite veneers but the former has a better kind of durability and the look is also akin to natural teeth.
