How are Dental Veneers different from Crowns or Bonding?
Dental Bonding is a resin filling material used to wrap the front surface of teeth. Today, we usually use cosmetic bonding just to fill in small cracks of the enamel and mend blemishes of teeth. An entire crown is utilized while a tooth has used root canal surgery, or when a large amount of the whole tooth body (enamel) has been damaged. Porcelain veneers are useful to the surface of teeth to fix ground down teeth, mend cracks, mask staining and change the form or mask crookedness or gaping. Once adhered to the teeth, these slender, porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and extremely resistant to coffee, tea and other tarnishing drinks. For their strength and natural look, the similarity of veneers made of porcelain to healthy, white natural tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other selections for restorative dentistry.

What is the Dental Veneers treatment procedure?

1. At the first visit, your teeth are primed for the porcelain veneers and a mold is taken.
2. This impression is then shipped to a lab where the porcelain veneers are made custom to the dentist's requirements.
3. As the patients await their new permanent porcelain veneers, beautiful and custom fit temporaries are created to represent your fresh smile.
4. Patients should expect to leave the firstvisit feeling and appearing refreshed compared to when you came in!
