Dental Veneers
Have you thought about completely transforming your teeth with professionally applied dental veneers? At Frederick Orthodontist Dublin 1, our specialised cosmetic dentistry team thoroughly understands our patients’ needs when restoring and perfecting their smiles. Our team is ready and waiting to transform your smile today!
Whether your natural teeth have severe discolouration or are fractured significantly, our dental veneers in Dublin centre promise to restore the original appearance of your teeth. Veneers are also an excellent option for patients who have concerns with overcrowding and spacing in their teeth. The application of professional dental veneers completely restores the shape, strengthens the function and improves the general appearance of your teeth.
What exactly are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are custom-made, thin layers of porcelain bonded securely to the front surface of your natural teeth. Two main types of veneer materials are available to develop a veneer: composite and dental porcelain.
Firstly, our specialised dentists will precisely match the porcelain for the veneers to the natural shade of your teeth. It is also a good idea for patients to whiten their natural teeth before veneer application to ensure a more exact shade match. Patients can discuss all options with our team during your consultation.
What are veneers used to treat?
Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because they offer a minimally invasive way to change the look of your teeth. Veneers are also stain-resistant and can last for many years with proper care, making them a great investment in your smile.
Veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are an ideal choice for correcting cosmetic imperfections such as;
- Gaps between teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth,
- Stained or yellow teeth.
Veneers can also be used to change the shape, size, and length of your teeth.
Do I need Composite Bonding?
Fortunately for patients seeking composite bonding to conceal imperfections with their smile, there are numerous treatment options available. Here at Frederick Orthodontist Dublin 1, we pride ourselves on providing the leading composite bonding in Dublin, ensuring that we provide detailed treatment plans and treatment options for all patients.
Unlike other cosmetic treatments such as veneers and crowns, composite bonding is quick and produces immediate results, that only requires a single visit. Most dentists will require the client’s teeth to be as healthy as possible before the composite bonding treatment which can be achieved through house hygienic treatment before bonding.
For severely misaligned teeth, our dental team will recommend an orthodontic consultation before the composite procedure.
Are Veneers suitable for me?
01. How long do veneers last?
The longevity of a patient’s dental veneers will vary from person to person but will mainly depend on how well they are cared for during their lifespan.However, the longevity of veneers will also depend on how well they are bonded entirely to your tooth’s enamel.
If applied perfectly and treated well following application, veneers can last ideally for up to 10-15 years with no changes required. However, porcelain veneers tend to last much longer and will keep their original appearance for longer due to the durability of the material used. The porcelain veneers are tough, smooth and durable material, meaning they will have a longer lifespan than other materials, which is why it is the more popular option among patients.
02. Other Treatment Options to Consider
One potential drawback of dental veneers is that they require removal of a small amount of enamel from your natural teeth in order to prepare them for bonding. This means that once you get dental veneers, they are not reversible. Another potential drawback is that dental veneers can be costly.
It may be worth looking at composite bonding as a cosmetic option, or orthodontic treatment, as these are not destructive to your teeth.
Treatment Process
After you consult with our team of dental professionals, the dentist may first need to remove the enamel on the front of your teeth before placing the veneer. The dentist will then take an impression of your tooth/teeth ensuring they match the exact shape and specifications of the original tooth. While you await your permanent veneers to be developed in a dental lab,you will be fitted with temporary veneers. As soon as the permanent veneers are ready, the dentist will apply an acidic gel to the teeth that dissolves materials and creates a slightly rougher exterior. This is to ensure the veneer has a proper surface to bond to sufficiently.
The process of applying the veneers takes approximately two visits to complete as the first appointment is for matching the shade and preparing the teeth, and the second is for applying the veneers.
Caring For Your Veneers
Veneers are strong and durable, but you still need to take care of them like you would your natural teeth. Be sure to brush and floss regularly and see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. Also, avoid biting your nails or eating hard foods like ice that can crack or chip your veneers.
Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in recent years, and porcelain veneers are one of the best examples of that. If you’re interested in learning more about porcelain veneers and how they can help you achieve the smile of your dreams, contact our office today to schedule a consultation.
