Porcelain Dental Veneers – Cosmetic dental procedures under the dentist knife
Being self-conscious about your smile is now a thing of the past. Over the last decade, Cosmetic Dentistry has proven itself to be a revolutionary way to improve your smile and enhance your overall appearance and confidence. Cosmetic Dentistry is a comprehensive oral care solution which involves multiple advanced techniques and procedures to give you that dazzling new smile you always wanted and deserved. Among the several new solutions are dental veneers, ceramic reconstruction (CEREC) crowns, tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, etc. which can do just about anything for your smile – close gaps, whiten teeth, fix cracks and chips, replace, repair and restore!
To begin with, let us consider the fast-growing phenomenon— dental veneers. A veneer is concerned with both, aesthetics as well as the protection of teeth. They are made from either ceramic or porcelain, thus matching the existing natural colour of teeth while being significantly durable. This thin, corrective material placed over the tooth surface can be either built up in the mouth or put together in a dental laboratory to be placed on to the tooth afterwards. However, now-a-days, quick and easy veneer solutions have evolved to the point where little or absolutely no local anesthic is required. Due to this high level of efficiency, these treatments have become less invasive and less time-consuming. With the decrease in the time taken for these dental solutions, the responsibility on the part of the dentist has simultaneously increased. The dentist, using high quality digital X-ray machine, has now to place veneers with utmost care as thick veneers could jut out of the mouth and ultimately push out the lips of the patient, leading to undesired results. Veneers which are not placed properly also run the risk of getting chipped or dislodged. Read more…
