What is A Dental Veneer?

The term “tooth/dental veneer” refers to a thin shell of ceramic or resin that covers the front of your teeth. Dental veneers are manufactured specifically to fit the individuals’ teeth. They look and feel like natural teeth but are only placed on the front of a tooth as a cosmetic fix.

Veneers are created using either resin composite or ceramic. Most people choose ceramic veneers because they look natural and are durable. Each veneer is made specifically for you, to fit the shape and size of your existing teeth and enhance the appearance of your teeth & smile. They are an excellent way to correct a tooth that is too short, chipped, worn down, or discolored, and they are perfect for straightening a smile when only one or two teeth are misaligned or crooked.

Why You Might Need Dental Veneers?

Veneers can be a good option to correct mildly misaligned teeth. They can also be used to close gaps between teeth or cover oddly shaped teeth. If your teeth are mildly worn down or chipped a veneer can help restore their aesthetics. Discolored teeth that do not respond to teeth whitening can benefit from having veneers on them.

How Does it Work? - Dental Veneer Procedure

The dental veneer procedure begins with an initial consult, where the dentist will perform a thorough exam and take X-rays if required. After that, the dentist will discuss the pros & cons of having dental veneers.

After your initial consultation, impressions or 3D scans are made of your teeth and sent to the dental lab to make a mockup of your proposed veneer. This will give you an idea of what your smile will look like after the veneers are placed. Once you are happy with the appearance, a thin layer of enamel will be removed from the teeth needing the veneers, and another 3D scan taken and sent to the lab to create the final veneers. This will usually take 3-4 weeks to arrive. While awaiting the arrival of the permanent veneers, temporary veneers will be cemented.

Following the placement of the veneers, the majority of dentists will request a follow-up visit a week or two later for a review.
