Dental veneers are a thin material placed over your natural tooth. They can be used both to protect your natural teeth, and improve the shape, colour and alignment of your smile.
Veneers can be made in several colours, sizes and shapes to perfectly match your smile and facial features.They have a life-like appearance and high durability so they will last a very long time. If you’re looking for dental veneers in Lara, contact our team of highly skilled dentists today.
Worn or Broken Teeth – Whether it be due to grinding or wear and tear over time, the outer layer of your tooth, called enamel, can break or become worn and discoloured. Porcelain veneers are a great way to treat such teeth and restore a youthful smile.
Crowded or misaligned teeth – Veneers can not only alter the colour of teeth but lightly preparing the tooth and shaping the veneers can also allow dentists to alter the size, position and alignment of your natural smile.
Stained or discoloured teeth – Patients who have severely discoloured teeth which cannot be fixed with teeth whitening are great candidates for porcelain or composite veneers.
Gaps in teeth – If you have smaller teeth which leave gaps in your smile, veneers can be used to slightly increase the width and length of your teeth to close any gaps and beautifully match your natural smile.
Consultation – As part of receiving your dream smile, your first appointment will be a consultation. This will include:
Presentation – A mock up or temporary smile will be created on the moulds taken last visit. This will be presented to you to help get an understanding of what they will look like and feel like. During this appointment we will also conduct a colour selection.
Treatment – This will be the longest appointment as we will commence preparation of the teeth and obtaining further scans or moulds of the prepared teeth. These scans will be sent to the lab for fabrication.
Final Placement – Once we receive the final smile back from the laboratory – we will bond them onto your natural teeth. In the interim you will be able to try out your temporary smile.
There are two main types of dental veneers. We offer both porcelain veneers and composite veneers in Lara, each with different attributes to suit your needs. Whether you want to know what porcelain veneers cost in Lara, or learn more about the benefits of composite veneers – our dentists can help.
Porcelain Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain material which is bonded onto the front surface of your teeth. These veneers are expertly created within a dental laboratory from digital moulds of your teeth and so always have a perfect fit.
Composite Veneers are also placed over the front surface of your teeth but are not made of porcelain. Instead they are shaped by the dentist and made of the same composite material used for standard fillings.
Dental Veneers are a great long-term solution for enhancing your smile. If taken care of, dental veneers can often last 10-15 years or more. Since veneers are cemented or bonded onto your tooth, it is very rare that they come off or break. And if they do, they can very easily be rebonded.
To get the best result, good at-home oral hygiene is required which involves daily brushing and flossing. Our dentists recommend 6 monthly dental check-ups to ensure the health of the veneers and underlying teeth are optimum.
