What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are custom-made, thin, tooth-colored shells that are attached to the front surfaces of your teeth to enhance your smile. They benefit people who want a long-term solution to persistent cosmetic concerns, including chipped, broken, discolored, stained or misaligned teeth. They work by camouflaging cosmetic flaws. At La Derma Medical Centre we use high-quality dental materials, such as porcelain or resin-composite to permanently bond your teeth.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
- Veneers can enhance the appearance of your smile by masking chips, cracks, discoloration, and other imperfections.
- Veneers can resist staining better than natural tooth enamel.
- Veneers can blend in and feel like your natural teeth.
- Dental veneers don’t require any additional maintenance because they only cover the front of your teeth.
- With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years.
- Veneers are a minimally invasive procedure and require less shaping and filing of teeth than crown treatments.
Types of Veneers
At La Derma Medical Center, we use various dental veneers, including:
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers can be constructed fully or partially of porcelain. They have a matte finish that is both durable and natural-looking.
- Emax Veneers: Emax veneers deliver a very natural-looking finish to the teeth. They are hand-painted to match the exact tooth colors and are custom-made for each patient by highly competent experts.
- Composite Veneers: Resin materials are used for producing composite veneers. There are various methods for applying them, and the lifespan of the veneers is largely determined by how they are put.
- Ceramic Veneers: Ceramic veneers are exceedingly thin shells with a very natural appearance. These are manufactured to the patient’s specifications.
