If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malaligned, veneers can give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment.
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic facings bonded to the front of your teeth.
They can improve the appearance of gaps, chips, cracks, discolouration, and misalignment in teeth.Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable.
If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the other The layers of translucent, all-ceramic porcelain allow light to shine through, reflecting off the opaque tooth dentine below the surface and giving the appearance of brighter, natural-looking teeth.
Using porcelain veneers we can remake your smile in just a few appointments.
At Rosehill, everyone is treated as an individual, but the process is roughly the same.
During your initial consultation for porcelain veneers at our practice we will discuss your aesthetic goals for correcting and improving your smile with one of our dentists. He or she will design the specifications for your new teeth, including instructions for the laboratory regarding the shape, colour, and translucency of your new veneers. The dentist will also tell you what to expect over the next few appointments.
During the second appointment, our dentist will prepare your teeth for your new porcelain veneers. Doing so requires buffing off a thin layer of tooth enamel to adjust for the added thickness of the veneers. This is painless, and after your teeth have been prepared, we will take a mould of your mouth to send to the laboratory, where they will craft your porcelain veneers to match your teeth.
Making a natural looking porcelain veneer is an artform. We only use the very best dental labs. We will also bond temporary veneers to your teeth so that you can get used to the new shape of your teeth while your permanent porcelain veneers are prepared.
After two or three weeks, your porcelain veneers will be ready and you will return to Rosehill. If you are satisfied with the colour and shape of your veneers, they will be permanently cemented to your teeth.
After your porcelain veneers have been permanently fixed to your teeth, you can care for them much as you would your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing will maintain them over time. It may take several weeks for you to adjust to the new feel of your teeth, but very soon, they will feel absolutely natural.
Porcelain veneers are not the only option for restoring broken, chipped, or discoloured teeth. There are other cosmetic dentistry alternatives to consider as well. Like porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, composite bonding, and teeth whitening can all improve the aesthetics of your smile.
