Veneers also known as Dental laminates are durable thin shells of porcelain which helps to fix teeth imperfections by adhering it to the anterior part of the unappealing tooth. Bonding porcelain veneers recreate the natural appearance along with the original strength and flexibility of a wrecked tooth.
What problems can be fixed with porcelain veneers?
- Teeth discoloration
- Chipped or cracked tooth
- Mishaped teeth
- Gaps or spaces between the teeth
- Skew teeth
- Teeth enamel wear off
Dentists recommend porcelain veneers if the natural look of a tooth cannot be replicated by removing stains with dental bleaching treatments.
Are porcelain veneers vulnerable to cavities?
No. Veneers cannot decay. The ceramic material shields the tooth and minimizes the tooth’s vulnerability to dental caries. Gum infections or food debris trapped beneath the veneers will cause cavities in the veneered tooth.
Is the veneer placement process painful?
You will not feel any pain or discomfort during the veneer process because we anesthetize the tooth region at the beginning of the treatment. Some patients feel mild sensitivity in the tooth for some days after bonding the veneers.
