Dental Veneer

Veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are the materials thin in size, placed over the teeth so as to mainly improve an aesthetic oral appearance and to save the teeth from any further damages. In this procedure, a small amount of tooth enamel is removed with the veneer then being applied on. While they give the best natural look to our teeth, they also provide great strengths and resilience to them. Dental Veneers are primarily the customized tooth-shaped and colored shells that can go over our teeth; matching their size, shape and color.

Type of Dental Veneer

Cosmetic dental veneers are primarily made up of either of two materials – Porcelain or Resin Composites. Porcelain dental veneers are actually a white, vitrified semitransparent Ceramic material. Porcelain dental veneers have better stain-resistance than resin veneers; whereas, resin veneers are usually thinner than porcelain dental veneers; thereby requiring a very little layer of enamels to be removed while being placed. Porcelain dental veneers is a highly sought-after dental treatment. The costs of dental veneers in India are affordable.

Types of Dental Problems Being Mainly Solved by Veneers

Advantages of Dental Veneers

They provide a natural tooth appearance.
Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well.
Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
The color of a porcelain veneer can be selected such that it makes dark teeth appear whiter.
Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth’s color and shape; veneers generally don’t require the extensive shaping prior to the procedure that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative.

Procedure For Placing Veneers

Local anesthetia is not usually required when placing veneers. However, depending on the patient’s sensitivity, it can be used if needed. The dentist will clean the tooth and determine the correct shade for the veneer. The dentist will remove a very small amount of the enamel of the tooth to provide room to place the veneer on the tooth.
An impression of the tooth will be made for the laboratory and a temporary veneer will be placed on the tooth with spot etching in the center of the tooth away from the margins.
After the laboratory has delivered the porcelain veneer to your dentist, the temporary veneer is removed, the tooth is cleaned with pumice and water. The veneer is then etched, rinsed throughly with water and air dried. The adhesive is placed on the preparation and then the cement and the veneer is placed for exact fit and contour.
The veneer is then light cured for 60 seconds on all surfaces of it to attach it to the tooth structure.
Your dentist will remove any excess material and polish the margins of the veneer.

Scaling is one such procedure that keeps your gums healthy and firm.It is a procedure used to remove infected deposits like plaque, calculus and stains from the tooth surfaces. Such deposits, if not removed by scaling, cause infection and loosening of the gums, ultimately leading to pyorrhoea and tooth loss.
