Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are typically used to address a variety of cosmetic dental problems, including:
- Teeth that are discolored or stained
- Teeth that are chipped or cracked
- Teeth that are misaligned or uneven
- Teeth that are too small or too large
- Gaps between teeth
The veneers are bonded to the front surface of the teeth using a special dental adhesive, and can be made to match the color and shape of the surrounding teeth. Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment option because they can provide a dramatic improvement in the appearance of the teeth with minimal tooth reduction or preparation.
The process of getting dental veneers typically involves several steps, including a comprehensive oral evaluation, dental imaging, and consultation with the patient to determine their specific needs and goals. The dentist will then prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of tooth enamel, and take impressions of the teeth to create custom-made veneers. Once the veneers are fabricated, they will be bonded to the teeth using a special dental adhesive.
However, they do require proper maintenance and care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, to ensure their longevity.
