Dental Veneers

Your smile can be hampered not just by discolouration, but also by teeth disfigurement. No matter how white and shiny your teeth are, disfigured teeth can ruin your smile.

Teeth veneers are ideal not only for covering up disfigured teeth, but also for appearing as completely natural teeth. These are basically thin covers made up of porcelain or composite, shaped like the front surface of a tooth. A dental veneer adheres onto the contour of the surface of the tooth and addresses a wide range of dental issues such as teeth staining, chipping, gaps between the teeth and misalignment.

In the cosmetic veneers dental procedure, a certain amount of enamel is removed from the teeth, after which a mould is made. The impression obtained from the mould helps to make a porcelain veneer.

Another veneers dental procedure uses a resin composite filling material bonded over the surface of the teeth after enamel removal. A special high intensity light is used to harden this material. The hardened composite is then polished and chiselled to form the veneer. At Melbourne Dental Family Care, we offer options for a composite or porcelain dental veneer at our Vermont clinic.

Usually, porcelain dental veneers are a more popular choice due to their durability and aesthetics. Regardless of the nature of the material, dental veneers can provide a wide range of benefits.

• Versatility in application – Dental veneers can cover chips, cracks and discolouration. They offer a simple way to address a multitude of problems and make your smile look natural. Your teeth will function like nothing ever happened!
• Minimum removal of enamel – The veneers dental preparation phase involves the removal of some amount of enamel. Enamel cannot be restored, although the administration of teeth veneers involves the removal of little enamel compared to other treatments like crowns. This enamel removal is important not just for the mould preparation, but also to ensure that your treated teeth don’t end up looking oversized and awkward.
• Extremely durable – With proper care and maintenance, dental veneers can possibly last as long as a decade.
• Low maintenance – Unlike tooth enamel, veneers are non-porous. This makes them highly resistant to stains when compared to natural teeth. Simple care for your veneers such as brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing and frequent dental check-ups can help you maintain your veneers without any hassles.

We concentrate on all the minute details regarding the amount of enamel removed, preparation of the surface and thickness of the veneer, and the placement of the veneer over the teeth in question. This methodological approach ensures a natural-looking result.
