What to Know About the Dental Veneers Procedure

Dental veneers are quick and easy dental restorations. These are thin shells capable of covering any visible blemish, stain, discoloration, or damage. Veneers are either porcelain or composite resin. Your cosmetic dentist can attach these restorations in no time. Advanced 3D technology can even make the procedure as quick as one day. If you want to know more about getting dental veneers, here are the details.

The procedure

The general dentist will inspect the patient’s teeth. The patient will have teeth whitening first if the patient prefers it. Areas of decay will receive dental fillings first. Then, the dentist will order a digital X-ray and intraoral photographs of the patient’s mouth. The dentist could even show the projected outcome of the procedure on the computer monitor.

Preparing the tooth comes next. A local anesthetic will numb the area to prevent discomfort. The cosmetic dentist will shave off some of the enamel to ensure the fit of the veneers. Taking an impression of the patient’s mouth will come next. This will be either through traditional means (putty) or modern means (intraoral scanner). The dentist will then choose the right shade for the dental veneers.

The impression will reach the dental lab for fabrication. The dentist will create temporary veneers. The veneers will cover the treated teeth until the permanent veneers are ready. These will stay on for a few weeks. On placement day, the dentist will check and fit the dental veneers.

There will be adjustments first. The dentist will then bond the veneers on the patient’s teeth. Any excess bonding cement will come off. The dentist will polish the tooth.

Some dental clinics create veneers with the help of dental labs. This often takes weeks. Other clinics adopt the computer-aided manufacturing process. This allows the patient to get dental veneers on the same day.

After the procedure

Cosmetic dentists cement the veneers to their patients’ teeth. This dental restoration is permanent. Poor adhesion or preparation may cause veneers to fall off. Following the proper aftercare procedures can help maintain the integrity of the shells. Avoiding hard foods will result in the longevity of dental veneers.

Brushing and flossing every day will keep the veneers looking new. Using fluoride toothpaste will strengthen and protect teeth. A healthy diet will provide the treated teeth the nutrients to stay healthy. Avoiding staining drinks and foods will also help keep the dental veneers looking new.

Wearing a custom night guard at night is for those who have bruxism. This dental appliance will shield the veneers and neighboring teeth from wear and fractures. Seeing the cosmetic dentist for routine dental checks is also important. Doing so will keep the veneers in top shape all the time. Engaging in sports is still possible, even with dental veneers. Wearing a custom-fit mouth guard will also protect the teeth and veneers from impact.

Dental veneers can transform your smile and your life

A quick smile makeover is possible without any surgery. Dental damage or discoloration can go away with dental veneers. Your cosmetic dentist will see if you qualify for the treatment. Preparation and placement will take no time at all.
