Veneers

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of teeth and provide a long-lasting solution to a variety of dental issues. They are also relatively minimally invasive compared to other cosmetic dental procedures, like dental crowns or implants. 

The best part? You can personalize your veneers to match exactly what you’re looking for. From the type of material used to the shade and shape of the veneers, the possibilities are endless. With customized veneers, you can achieve the perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of. Contact the care team at Indian Trail Dental Studio today to book your appointment.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are an innovative solution for those looking to improve the appearance of their teeth. They are thin, custom-made shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, misaligned, chipped, or worn down.

The process of getting veneers involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of the teeth to create space for the veneers. Then, the veneers are custom-made to fit over the teeth and are bonded to the tooth surface using a dental adhesive.

Whether you have discolored, misaligned, chipped, or worn down teeth, Indian Trail Dental Studio can help you achieve your cosmetic dentistry goals.

What to Expect During Installation

When you’re beginning the process of transforming your smile, it’s important to understand what goes into a veneer installation. Here’s a closer look at what to expect: 

  • Consultation: Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals and expectations for the treatment. We will also discuss the various types of veneers available and help you choose the best option for your needs.
  • Preparation: To prepare for a veneer, your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from the surface of your teeth. This is necessary to create space for the veneer to sit flush with the surrounding teeth.
  • Impressions: Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create your veneer. These impressions are sent to a dental lab, where your veneers will be crafted.
  • Temporary veneer: While you wait for your permanent veneer to be made, your dentist may fit you with temporary veneer. These will protect your teeth and maintain your appearance until your permanent veneer is ready.
  • Fitting: Once your veneers are ready, your dentist will carefully place them on your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. Minor adjustments may be made to ensure the veneers are comfortable and look natural.
  • Care and maintenance: Caring for your veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth. You’ll need to brush and floss regularly and visit your dentist for check-ups and cleanings.
  • Longevity: With proper care, veneers can last for many years. However, they may need to be replaced over time if they become damaged or if your natural teeth shift.

What Happens if Dental Prosthetics Are Done Incorrectly?

When it comes to veneer installation, it’s vital to ensure that your veneers are installed properly. While the ultimate end goal is to have a bright and white smile, taking shortcuts can have serious repercussions. For instance, if veneers aren’t properly bonded to your teeth, they can come loose or fall off completely. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and even infections. 

Additionally, veneers that are too thick or not fitted properly can cause a larger bite force on certain teeth, which can lead to fractures or cracks. So, it’s always best to get your veneers installed by a qualified professional like Indian Trail Dental Studio who knows the ins and outs of veneer installation. Your smile, and your health, will thank you.

Dental veneers are resistant to staining and discoloration, but they cannot be whitened with traditional teeth whitening methods. If the veneers become discolored over time, they may need to be replaced to restore their natural appearance.
