Dental Veneers A commonly provided restoration in dental offices is veneers. These porcelain shells can be custom-made to enhance the shade, size, and shape of a tooth. If you have crooked, chipped, discolored, or fractured teeth, and you want to restore their function and aesthetics, dental veneers can be a viable solution. Our team at The Strongsville Center for Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry will examine your teeth before recommending dental veneers. What Are Dental Veneers?A veneer is often a lean shell fabricated of a strong material like ceramic or porcelain. Our dentist makes the shade, shape, and size of the veneers to match the surrounding teeth, ensuring that the restoration blends in beautifully. Since veneers are fabricated of stain-resistant material, it means your teeth remain whiter and brighter. Even if you frequently sip your favorite hot cup of tea and coffee or wine, dental veneers will not stain easily. Uses of Dental VeneersOur dental team can correct many imperfections with dental veneers. A veneer placed over a tooth can help protect it. Often, people ignore seeking a dentist for dental treatment and choose to stay with a crooked or damaged tooth. However, when you avoid treatment, you only heighten the chances of having pain and getting an infection like gum disease. A chipped tooth risks exposing the inner region, which can contribute to pain when biting down on something, eating, or drinking. Veneers can help prevent further damage to a tooth. Additionally, veneers are used to make a tooth have a uniform length. Our dentist places dental veneers to change the size of a tooth and make it symmetrical with the others. We can install veneers to bring back the functionality of a tooth that has been cracked, broken, or chipped. We use veneers if the tooth structure has not been affected by the cracking or chipping. Therefore, we ensure that we restore the look of the tooth and at the same time make it trouble-free to speak and eat normally. We can also provide prep-less veneers when indicated. Veneers ProcedureOur dentist takes an impression of the teeth and uses it to fabricate the veneers in a laboratory. It takes about a week or two to have the restorations ready. Before fitting the veneers, our dentist prepares the tooth surface. We will scrape a part of the enamel off to make room for the prosthesis. After prepping the tooth, you will receive a temporary veneer that is fixed using removable glue. The temporary veneer protects the scraped-off tooth area and prevents sensitivity from arising. Once the permanent veneers have been fabricated, we request you to visit our office to place them. We remove the temporary prostheses and fit the new, stronger veneers. Our dentist makes any adjustments needed and bonds the veneer onto the tooth. After The ProcedureYou may have discomfort for a few days following the procedure. Our team may prescribe painkillers to relieve the pain. A cold compress helps reduce swelling. Consider eating soft foods. Brush and floss because oral hygiene is very crucial, with or without a prosthesis. It is even more important when you have restorations such as veneers or porcelain crowns.
