Use Porcelain Veneers For A Permanent Solution

                                                                                         

Our teeth are one of the strongest parts of our entire body, and have been designed in such a way that it may last a lifetime. However the wear and tear often results in tooth loss or chipped or discolored teeth. This causes a dent in an individual's self esteem and a solution is quickly sought after. Porcelain veneers are small ceramic plates that are fitted into a person’s teeth to improve appearance.

Also called ‘instant orthodontics’ these thin porcelain shields are used to cover the front of the teeth and are put on the teeth as a permanent measure to cover up stained, chipped, broken or other defects of the teeth. They are also used to fill gaps between teeth. The two types of veneer are ‘porcelain veneer’ and ‘composite resin veneer’. Resin is a filling material which is close to the color of one’s tooth and is used to hide a filling once it is complete. Resin can also be used to create veneers to cover a tooth. On the other hand ceramic veneers are thin porcelain shields that are put on the front surface of the tooth.

The two primary reasons why porcelain veneers are at an advantage over resin veneers are:

1.Porcelain veneers look much more natural and appealing

2.Porcelain veneers are much more durable and stains less than resin veneers

Application of veneers requires preparing the teeth before the procedure and dentists also advise about how to correct a particular dental problem. A particular dentist applying veneers in an Agoura Hills porcelain veneers case even used imaging software to give his patient an idea about how he will look after the treatment! Depending on what type of veneer is being used and also the position of the tooth, your doctor may want to remove the enamel of your tooth. Temporary covers are placed on the teeth whose enamel has been removed, to prevent it from getting damaged. A suitable color has to be chosen for the veneer to see if it matches the natural teeth color. The final appointment with the dentist will see the permanent veneer being fixed with a special strong adhesive. Special care needs to be taken to ensure that the adhesive is placed in the correct position.

Taking care of these veneers is not very difficult since they are a permanent solution for your teeth. However it is advisable that one brushes their teeth twice daily as with regular teeth. Biting nails or opening food packets with your teeth should be abstained from.
