Dental Veneers: A Smile Makeover
Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment, gaps and chips or cracks. Dental porcelain veneers fall into the category of Cosmetic Dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers provides a more natural look than what's been available in the past.
Regardless of what causes unattractive teeth, dental porcelain veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues, including:
Worn enamel : Over time, the thin, hard white substance covering your teeth (enamel) may become worn, dulled, and discolored. Such wear and discoloration may be natural or the result of a genetic predisposition; however, it is often a result of your habits (soft drink, tea, or coffee consumption, smoking, medication use, etc.).
· Wear and tear : Teeth naturally wear down as people age. Aged teeth are more likely to have chips, cracks, or a generally uneven appearance.
· Genetics : Certain people may be born with abnormal spacing between the teeth that grows wider as they age.
· Uneven teeth : Uneven teeth can result from tooth grinding or general wear and tear.
When are Veneers Appropriate?
Bonding often serves as an inexpensive and effective restoration for small chips and cracks in the teeth. Such minor problems may be functionally and cosmetically repaired with a composite "white filling." A composite resin material is bonded to the tooth in order to fill in the chip or crack and better protect the surrounding tooth structure. However, composite restorations can discolor and absorb different liquid colors over time and may have to be polished and or reconditioned. Therefore, for more severe cases of dullness, wear discoloration, chipping, cracking, spacing, or uneven teeth, dental porcelain veneers may be recommended as a more permanent solution.
