Veneers
Veneers can enhance the shape of your teeth,
make your teeth as white as you want, and give
you the smile you have always desired quickly
and easily.
 Usually fabricated from
porcelain, Veneers are thin, semi-translucent
"shells," made to fit precisely over an existing
tooth. They are permanently bonded to the front
of the tooth by a special resin that adheres the
back of the veneer to the front of the tooth.
The finished result is extremely strong and
durable. Though veneers are not suitable for
every patient, they are a cosmetic alternative
for a variety of dental conditions affecting the
front teeth.
Sometimes, a certain amount
of tooth reduction is required to apply veneers,
while other times, no reduction Of the outer
shell of the tooth) is required at all. The goal
is always to keep natural tooth reduction to an
absolute minimum, while creating tooth
preparations that will allow for the final
veneers to achieve the cosmetic goals. Since
they are very thin, Veneers are considered one
of the most conservative cosmetic treatments
available.
Veneers can last for many
years, depending on how well they are taken care
of. Because veneers are stronger than simple
resin bonding, they are more resistant to
stains, discoloration, or chipping. It is most
important to maintain good daily oral hygiene,
keep regular routine cleanings and assessments,
and avoid oral habits such as biting nails,
pens, or chewing ice. These precautions will
help ensure that your veneers will last a long
time and keep them looking as good as new.
Veneers often provide the opportunity to
dramatically transform the aesthetics of your
teeth and smile in a very short time span and at
a relatively small expense. Have one of the
expert cosmetic dentists at Family Dental Group
complete an examination of your teeth to
determine if veneers are the ideal solution for
the smile you desire.
