Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials intended to cover the front (facial) part of the teeth for improved appearance. Veneers are intended to last for many years.Unlike most bonding materials veneers will not change colour over time. You should consult with your dentist to find out exactly how long veneers will last in your mouth.

WHAT TYPES OF PROBLEMS DO DENTAL VENEERS FIX?

Veneers are routinely used to fix:

       • Discolored teeth that can be caused by root canal treatment; stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; like the presence of large resin fillings.

       • Teeth that are worn down

       • Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth (for example, have craters or bulges in them)

       • Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)

Several visits are necessary to complete the treatment, the tooth preparation required is minimal and confined to the enamel structure. The veneer is bonded to the tooth structure with tooth- colored resin cement.Patients should be aware that this is usually an irreversible process because it’s necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell.

ADVANTAGE OF VENEERS

Natural tooth appearance

       Because veneers are individually sculpted for each patient, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between a veneer and a natural tooth.

Stain-Resistant

       Made of high-tech, extremely polishable materials, custom-made veneers resist stains from coffee, tea and cigarette smoke
