What Are Veneers?

Veneers are a wonderful treatment option because they brighten up your smile and can improve the functionality of your pearly whites when other corrective options fail to succeed.  For some individuals, orthodontics (braces), teeth whitening, and cleanings alone cannot brighten or completely correct imperfections or repair damage. Veneers can be a wonderful option to cover up those imperfections that other forms of treatment cannot.

Most patients find that in receiving treatment they are more motivated to take better care of their teeth through thorough brushing and flossing and regular dental checkups. They boost self-esteem by creating a flawless, bright, and confident appearance

What Are They Made Of?

Veneers are typically made from either porcelain or from composite/white filling materials. Porcelain options are often preferred because they do a better job at resisting stains and better mirror the light reflecting properties that natural teeth exhibit.  However porcelain is more expensive and difficult to repair if it chips.  Composite veneers on the other hand are less costly, but not as strong as porcelain.

How Are Veneers Put On?

During a dental veneer procedure, the dentist will remove some of the tooth structure in order to create space for a thin veneer cover that will be bonded into place on the tooth.

You will be eligible to receive veneers if there is discolouration of your teeth from a root canal treatment, permanent stains caused by medication, or have large areas of composite fillings which can stain the tooth over time. Veneers are not only used to cover teeth, they are also used in the treatment of broken or chipped teeth as well.

In undertaking this procedure, you are making a commitment not only to your overall appearance but also to your dental health. Give Divine Dental Care a call today and start your journey in getting the smile you have always wanted.
