Veneers

Are you suffering from damaged, discolored, or chipped teeth? If yes, they can affect the appearance of your smile and also steal your confidence. You can visit our clinic to address the problem, and we will recommend you opt for dental veneers.

What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, wafer-like tooth-colored shells that we design to mask the surface of your chipped teeth. They are also suggested in case of badly stained teeth. We bond them to your teeth to change their shape, size, color, and even length. This cosmetic dental procedure is a less invasive and affordable way to improve your smile.

Veneers are customized as per the shape and size of your teeth, thus resting comfortably on them. They give a natural appearance to your teeth, and your gum tissues can tolerate them comfortably. Another plus point, dental veneers are resistant to staining; thus, you do not have to worry about changing them now and then. If taken care of and maintained properly, they can last for 10-12 years.

Veneers are of two types – porcelain and composite resin. The former gives a more natural appearance than the latter.

How are Veneers Applied?

For the procedure to complete, expect three separate visits at our dental clinic.

• The first visit is a mere consultation with our dentist, where we will discuss your goals and requirements and what type of veneers you want for the treatment. We will also examine your mouth, and if necessary, we will carry out the X-ray of your teeth. 
• The second visit involves the preparation and development of the veneer. To let the veneer fit comfortably on your teeth, we will trim the enamel. This step makes room for it to adjust. We may administer a local anesthetic before working on your teeth. We will also make an impression of your teeth and send them to the dental lab to prepare a customized veneer for you. 
• The final visit is all about the application of the veneer and its bonding with your teeth. We will bond the veneer to your remaining teeth and then adjust it. We may also customize the color to match the natural appearance of your teeth. During this step, your teeth will be cleaned, polished, and roughened so that the veneer sticks permanently to them. After positioning the veneer, we will apply a special light to activate the curing chemicals in the adhesive.
