What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin shells, usually made of porcelain or resin, that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. Dental veneers can fix chipped, cracks, discoloration, or even gaps between teeth. In essence, they are a cosmetic dental treatment for a brighter, more even smile.

Types Of Veneers

1] Porcelain Veneers
2] Composite teeth veneers
3] Injection Molding Techniques
4] Instant Porcelain Veneers
5] Porcelain Veneers with a Smile design
6] Lumineers
7] Snap-on smile

Advantages

1] Durability Champions: Porcelain veneers are incredibly strong and resilient, lasting for 10-15 years or even longer with proper care. They can withstand everyday wear and tear much better than natural tooth enamel.

2] Stain-Resistant Smile: Unlike natural teeth or composite veneers, porcelain is highly resistant to staining from coffee, tea, red wine, or other pigmented foods and beverages. This allows you to enjoy a brighter smile for longer.

3] Natural Beauty: Porcelain mimics the light-reflecting properties of tooth enamel exceptionally well. Skilled dentists can create veneers that are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, achieving a stunningly natural and beautiful aesthetic.

4] Versatility for a Flawlessly Confident Smile: Porcelain veneers are a powerful tool for addressing a wide range of cosmetic dental concerns. They can effectively camouflage chipped, cracked, discolored, misaligned, uneven, or worn teeth, giving you a smile you can truly love.

What Is Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells, usually made of porcelain or composite resin, that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can fix chipped, cracks, discoloration, or even gaps between teeth. In essence, they are a cosmetic dental treatment for a brighter, more even smile.

Disadvantages

1] A Permanent Choice: Placing porcelain veneers requires removing a small amount of tooth enamel to accommodate the veneer’s thickness. This is irreversible, so it’s a decision to be carefully considered with your dentist.

2] Investment in Your Smile: Compared to composite veneers, porcelain veneers are generally more expensive. However, their durability and stain resistance can make them a cost-effective option in the long run.

3] Potential for Chipping: While strong, porcelain veneers can chip if subjected to excessive force or trauma, such as biting on hard objects. It’s important to practice good dental hygiene and avoid using your teeth for anything other than chewing food.

Porcelain Veneers With Smile Designing

Porcelain veneers are thin shells custom made to improve your smile’s appearance. Smile designing involves planning the veneers’ placement, size, and color for a natural, aesthetically pleasing outcome. In short, it’s a cosmetic dentistry treatment that combines tooth customization with veneers for a beautiful smile.

Advantage

1] Beautiful, natural-looking smile: Smile design ensures the veneers perfectly complement your facial features and remaining teeth, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.

2] Durable and stain-resistant: Porcelain veneers are strong and resist staining better than natural teeth, so you can enjoy a bright white smile for years.

3]Durable and stain-resistant: Porcelain veneers are strong and resist staining better than natural teeth, so you can enjoy a bright white smile for years.

4] Fixes multiple cosmetic issues: Veneers can address chipped, cracks, discoloration, gaps, and even slightly misaligned teeth, all in one treatment.

Number of Appointments

1] Consultation: We assess your suitability for veneers. A strong foundation is crucial, so we may recommend cleanings, fillings, posterior support (strengthening back teeth), or replacing missing teeth. We may also address dental infections.

2] Scans and Photos: We capture detailed images of your teeth and smile.

3] Smile Design Discussion: We discuss your desired outcome and create a digital plan for your new smile.

4] Mock-Up or Temporary Veneer Placement: We place temporary veneers based on the digital design to visualize your final smile.

5] Intra-Oral Smile Design Discussion: We refine the design based on how the temporary veneers feel and look in your mouth.

6] Veneer Placement: We permanently bond your custom-made porcelain veneers.

7] Appointment: We check your veneers for fit, function, and aesthetics, and make any adjustments needed.

Disadvantage

1] Irreversible procedure: A thin layer of enamel is removed to place veneers. This cannot be reversed, and the teeth will require veneers permanently.

Time Frame

1] Most cases are completed within 2 to 4 weeks.

2] The Porcelain Veneer Journey: A Transformation Worth Taking Choosing porcelain veneers is a significant decision, but the results can be truly life-changing. At our practice, we prioritize meticulous care and artistic expertise. Our porcelain veneers are crafted with a smile design process to ensure optimal results you’ll love for years to come.

Lumineers Veneers

Lumineers are a brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers similar to traditional veneers. Smile designing helps plan their placement, size, and color for a natural-looking smile. So, Lumineers Veneers with Smile Designing combines Lumineers with cosmetic planning for a beautiful and minimally invasive smile makeover. However, only about 20-30% of patients are eligible for Lumineers.

Advantage

1] More conservative procedure: Lumineers require less tooth enamel removal compared to traditional veneers, making them potentially reversible.

2] May require minimal anesthesia: Due to the minimal enamel removal, anesthesia may not always be necessary for Lumineers placement.

3]Suitable for minor imperfections: Lumineers are ideal for addressing minor chipped, cracks, or slight discoloration due to their thinness.

Disadvantage

1] Less durable than traditional veneers: Lumineers may not be as strong as traditional veneers and may chip or break more easily.

2] May not address severe concerns: Lumineers’ thinness makes them less suitable for major cosmetic issues like severe chipped, cracks, or deep discoloration.

3] Potentially more expensive: In some cases, Lumineers with Smile Design may be more expensive than traditional veneers.

Snap-On Smile

Snap-on smiles are removable dental appliances that resemble retainers. They are custom-made from acrylic and fit over your existing teeth to improve the look of your smile. Unlike veneers, they are a temporary cosmetic solution, not a permanent dental restoration. Durability: It usually lasts 1-2 years depending on usage. Cost: The cost for Snap-on Smile is $2,000 to $3,000 per jaw.

Advantage

1] Affordable and non-invasive: Snap-on teeth veneers are a budget-friendly option compared to other cosmetic dentistry procedures. They require no drilling or permanent changes to your teeth.

2] Quick and easy smile makeover: You can get a snap-on smile in a relatively short time frame and simply snap them in for a confident smile.

3]Conceals various cosmetic issues: They can effectively hide chipped, cracks, discoloration, gaps, and even some misalignment for a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Disadvantage

1] Temporary solution: snap on teeth veneers are not permanent and will need to be replaced every few years.

2] May affect speech and eating: Getting used to the feel of the appliance in your mouth can take time and may slightly impact speaking and eating.

3] Not suitable for all cases: They may not be ideal for severe dental problems or those missing multiple teeth for proper support.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are thin shells made of tooth-colored resin bonded directly to your front teeth. They can fix chipped, cracks, discoloration, or minor gaps. Unlike porcelain veneers, they require minimal tooth removal and can sometimes be repaired if chipped. They can be used to address a variety of cosmetic dental concerns, including: 1] Chipped or cracked teeth, 2] Discolored teeth, 3] Gaps between teeth, 4] Worn-down teeth, 5] Uneven tooth shape or size

Advantage

1] More affordable: Composite resin veneers are generally less expensive than porcelain veneers.

2] Minimal tooth removal: The procedure requires removing a smaller amount of tooth enamel compared to porcelain veneers.

3] Re-repairable: In some cases, minor Chippedor cracks in composite veneers can be repaired or reshaped by your dentist.

4] Procedure time: Composite veneers can often be placed in a single appointment, whereas porcelain veneers usually require two appointments due to the lab creation process.

Disadvantage

1] Less durable: Composite veneers typically don’t last as long as porcelain veneers and may stain more easily.

2] Prone to staining: The resin material in composite veneers is more porous than porcelain and can absorb stains from coffee, tea, or red wine.

3] Less natural-looking: While improved, composite veneers may not achieve the same level of natural translucency and shine as porcelain veneers.

4] More technique-sensitive: The skill and experience of the dentist can significantly impact the final aesthetics of composite veneers compared to porcelain veneers, which are prefabricated in a lab.

Benefits Of Composite Veneers

1] Natural-looking results: Composite resin can be precisely matched to the color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless appearance.
2] Minimally invasive procedure: Composite veneers require less removal of tooth enamel compared to porcelain veneers.
3] Cost-effective: Generally more affordable than porcelain veneers.
4] Single-visit procedure: In many cases, composite veneers can be placed in just one appointment.
5] Reversible: Composite bonding can be removed and replaced if needed.

Guarantee

Similar to any machine (e.g., car, TV, laptop), composite veneers don’t last a lifetime. Based on recent research from Australia, America, and Britain, the average lifespan of composite resin veneers is around 5 to 7 years. We offer a 5-year guarantee on our work, provided the patient attends regular check-ups and cleanings every 3-6 months as recommended by the dentist. During these appointments (charged at an additional cost of $220-$270), minor adjustments like finishing, polishing, or even minor additions may be performed.

Direct Composite Veneers

Direct composite veneers are a type of cosmetic dental treatment where tooth-colored resin is sculpted and applied directly onto your teeth in a single appointment. This minimally invasive procedure can fix chipped, cracks, discoloration, or minor gaps, all while mimicking the natural look of your teeth.

Advantage

1] Cost-effective: Compared to porcelain veneers, direct composite veneers are generally less expensive.

2] Minimal tooth removal: The procedure requires removing a minimal amount of tooth enamel, making it a more conservative approach.

3]Same-day procedure: In many cases, direct composite veneers can be completed in a single appointment, saving you time and multiple visits.

Disadvantage

1] Durability: Direct composite veneers typically don’t last as long as porcelain veneers (5-7 years vs. 10-20 years) and may chip or break more easily.

2] Prone to staining: The resin material is more porous than porcelain and can absorb stains from colored foods and drinks.

3] Less natural-looking: While advancements have been made, achieving the same level of natural translucency and shine as porcelain can be more challenging with composite veneers.

Injection Molding Techniques

In the world of dentistry, research with digitalization, 3D printers, 3D scanners, smile design incorporating facial proportions, and other areas has progressed alongside advancements in materials. The culmination of this research has led to the innovative technique known as injection molded composite veneers.

Compared to traditional composite veneers more precision with functionality and design can be achieved to meet or surpass the patient’s expectation

I had intended to leave a negative review because there were some serious communication problems and misinformation given to me by the lady on the phone which was very frustrating. BUT everything turned out ok.. I can’t fault the dentist, she was lovely, gave very thorough explanations and advice and she did a great job on my teeth.

I can't speak highly enough about Dr Shaveta and Dr Nick. They saved my back molar with root canal treatment when everybody else wanted to pull the tooth. Their staff, including Tracy, are so warm and welcoming. I have found a dentist for life! Absolutely wonderful dentists!
