What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin, translucent shells placed on the front surface of the affected teeth to conceal their imperfections. They are generally crafted from porcelain or ceramic and can be used for one or multiple teeth to transform your smile. You can depend on veneers to enhance the aesthetics of your smile.
You should consider getting veneers if you have the following concerns:
- Chipped teeth
- Misaligned or misshapen teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Gaps in between teeth
- Smaller than average teeth
The Process of Getting Veneers
Consultation
Everybody has different needs and goals for their smile. During your initial consultation, Dr. Meshkin will discuss your unique smile goals and the dental imperfections you would like to be corrected.
Preparation
Next, Dr. Meshkin will prepare your teeth for veneers by removing a thin enamel layer. This ensures the veneers have sufficient space to fit naturally and comfortably in your mouth.
Impressions
Dr. Meshkin will capture impressions after preparing your teeth and decide the right shade of color for your veneer restoration.
Fabrication
The impressions will be sent over to a dental lab, where your customized veneers will be fabricated. Meanwhile, Dr. Meshkin will give you temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth until your permanent ones are ready.
Placement
During the next appointment, Dr. Meshkin will place the veneers. The dentist will remove your temporary veneers, check your permanent veneers fit correctly, and then attach them to your teeth using dental cement and special curing light.
The Benefits of Veneers
- Veneers are custom-designed to suit your unique smile. They have the same translucent appearance as enamel, allowing them to blend in naturally.
- Veneers are more resistant to stains than natural enamel. You can achieve a brighter smile that will last longer with veneer treatment.
- There is no recovery period involved after getting veneers. Instead, you can resume your daily routine and can show off your new smile as soon as the veneer placement is complete.
- With proper care, veneers can easily last up to 10-15 years.
