Dental veneers are sometimes also called dental porcelain laminates or porcelain veneers. They are custom-made, wafer-thin shells that are tooth-coloured and designed to cover a tooth\u2019s front surface. Dental veneers are bonded to the front of the particular tooth, changing its shape, colour, length or size and improving the overall appearance.<\/p>\n
Dental veneers can be made from resin composite materials or porcelain. Porcelain dental veneers are much more effective in resisting stains than resin dental veneers and better mimic teeth\u2019s properties of reflecting light. Resin dental veneers are much thinner than porcelain dental veneers and hence require the removal of less of the front surface of the tooth before placement. However, it is always best to take the advice of your cosmetic dentist to decide the best dental veneer material for you.<\/p>\n
Dental veneers can fix the following dental problems:<\/p>\n
\u2022\tTeeth which are discoloured
\n\u2022\tTeeth that are broken or chipped
\n\u2022\tTeeth that have been worn down
\n\u2022\tTeeth that are uneven, misaligned or irregularly shaped
\n\u2022\tTeeth that have space between them<\/p>\n
Dental veneers do not require any special care after they have been bonded to your teeth but you do need to treat them well if you want them to last. You must also continue to practice good oral hygiene and brush and floss your teeth as you normally do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
