The condition of your teeth plays a huge role in your self-esteem. Several conditions, such as a stained, broken, or chipped tooth, will make you shy away from exposing your teeth in social places. You can change this when you visit Empire Dental Group of New Jersey for veneers in Old Bridge to cover your damaged tooth.
Materials For Making Veneers
Dental veneers are very thin coverings used in cosmetic procedures to hide discolored teeth and repair a broken or chipped tooth. Dental masks are made from two types of material which are:
- Composite resin
- Porcelain material
The durability of veneers depends on the type of material used. For example, porcelain veneers last for longer periods compared to masks made from composite resin. A lot of people choose to get dental veneers because of the advantages, which include:
• Veneers correct multiple flaws simultaneously, such as the shape, position, and color of your teeth.
• The process of installing dental veneers is quick.
• Porcelain veneers have a natural appearance on your teeth.
• The procedure used to get dental veneers is non-invasive and pain-free.
• You will require a short period to recover.
• Dental veneers are custom-made for you to fit the size and shape of your tooth.
• You do not require any extra maintenance after getting dental veneers.
• Porcelain veneers do not stain.
Disadvantages Of Veneers
There are a few downsides to dental veneers. For example:
• Your teeth will become sensitive after your doctor installs the veneers.
• Once your dentist attaches the veneers to your tooth, you cannot change the shape or color.
• Veneers are prone to breaking in case of an injury.
• The entire veneer will need to be replaced if it chips or breaks. Dental veneers are not a good option if you have grinding and clenching habits.
• Your gums may shrink after the procedure.
• The masks are not as strong as dental crowns.
You will consult with your dentist before and discuss the results you desire to have after the procedure. To establish your eligibility for dental veneers, your doctor will:
• Ensure you have healthy and strong gums
• Check if you have grinding habits because this will break the dental veneers
• Examine your overall dental health to ensure you don’t have tooth decay
Procedure For Getting Dental Veneers
At Empire Dental Group of New Jersey, your specialist will create a sample of your veneers by scraping off small amounts of enamel from the surface of your tooth to create a space for your veneers. Your doctor will take the impressions to a lab where temporary veneers will be custom-made for you. Before the next visit, your dentist will install temporary veneers on your teeth as you wait to get the permanent ones.
You will visit your dentist again to get your permanent dental veneers installed. During the process, your dentist will:
• Create a rough surface on your teeth
• Use a dental adhesive to attach veneers to your teeth
• Ensure the veneers are in place and use a special beam of light to cement them on your teeth
• Trim away any excess cement
Care Instructions For Veneers
After your dentist installs the veneers, you will need to:
• Eat soft foods because hard foods will chip or break the veneers
• Brush your teeth using fluoride toothpaste to avoid the formation of plaque
• Floss every day after meals and before you go to bed
• Pay your dentist a visit for examining of your teeth every six months
