Porcelain Veneers

                                 

A dental veneer is a layer of tooth-coloured material which is attached to and covers the surface of a tooth. They are usually made of porcelain or composite resin. Composite resin veneers can be built up directly on to the tooth, while porcelain veneers are made in the laboratory and are later glued (bonded) onto the tooth. The  Family Smiles Dental is suitably located at 1011 N Hwy 77, Ste 105, Waxahachie,  is dedicated to the removal of wisdom teeth. Our state of the art facilities are purpose built with the latest technology and for any type of  Dental Care  dentist near you for   Dental Check up and  any type of  Dental Problem  .

To fit a veneer, the tooth will need a very small amount of enamel removed from its surface. This is usually completely pain free. A digital scan (yes, no more of the old-fashioned, uncomfortable moulds are taken) will be made of the tooth. The dentist will also record the colour that the new veneer will need to be to match the neighbouring teeth. This information will be sent to a dental laboratory who will make the veneer.

Until the veneer has been made the tooth may be more sensitive to hot and cold. A temporary veneer is usually necessary.

Veneers are used in a variety of situations:

When there is tooth discoloration that cannot be cleaned away

When there is an abnormal structure or texture, including chipping, fractures, or wear (erosion) of the tooth

To aid closure of spaces between the front teeth

To create the illusion of straight teeth with the desired colour and shape when the front teeth are slightly crowded

To camouflage front teeth that have multiple, shallow and unsightly fillings

There are no strong reasons against veneering a tooth. However, certain factors increase their risk of failure, such as grinding of teeth, excessively worn teeth, very large fillings, unfavourable bite (occlusion), vomiting associated with bulimia and chronic alcoholism and acid regurgitation as in hiatus hernia. They may also be unsuitable if the teeth are very discoloured.

Compared with a crown (cap), less of the tooth needs to be drilled away. Veneers are relatively quick and simple, although they require as much planning and attention to detail as any other treatment.
