What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their colour, shape, size, or length.

Dental veneers in Bulleen can be made from porcelain or resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material with your dentist.

What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?

  • Teeth that are discoloured — either because of root canal treatment, stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes, or the presence of large resin fillings that have discoloured the tooth
  • Teeth that are worn down
  • Teeth that are chipped or broken
  • Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
  • Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)

A veneer is a thin layer of tooth-coloured material placed over your natural tooth to mask the underlying enamel.

 

Before After

 

Veneers are designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth by –

  • Masking permanently stained teeth.
  • Closing Diastemas – spaces between your teeth.
  • Straightening misaligned teeth.
  • Improving the appearance of damaged or broken teeth due to decay or trauma.

The procedure is usually completed in two visits, which is a simple and relatively quick route to improve your smile; the first part of the procedure involves the dentist removing a small amount of enamel from the front of your tooth and in the second appointment, the veneers are fitted into place.

Before After

Our dental technician individually handcrafts each veneer to correct the appearance of your teeth and create a healthy, natural look.

The first part of the procedure will be a consultation appointment; this is when you can discuss with the dentist your concerns with your teeth and explain how you would like them improved.

Before After

Your dentist will make a ‘Diagnostic wax-up’ of your teeth to show how your teeth will look with veneers. This is a very simple procedure; the dentist will take impressions (moulds) of your teeth, which will then be sent to the laboratory. Our technician will cast your teeth using the supplied impressions (moulds). Dental wax is then applied to the cast to show how the final veneers look.

If you decide that veneers are for you, you must make two appointments. The first appointment is when the dentist prepares the teeth, and the second is to fit the veneers.

The Preparation appointment

  • The dentist will give you a local anaesthetic to numb the tooth and the surrounding gum.
  • A small amount of tooth is removed from the front surface of your tooth to make room for the veneers. The dentist will do this using a fast hand drill.
  • An impression (mould) is taken of your teeth using special dental “putty”. The putty is placed into an impression tray; they are both then inserted into your mouth and pushed onto your teeth in order to take an impression. Once the dental putty is set the impression will be removed. An impression is also taken of the opposing teeth, so the technician can see how you bite together.
  • The dentist may fit temporary veneers to protect the teeth whilst your veneers are being fabricated.
  • The impression (mould) of your teeth is sent to the Dental Laboratory where each veneer will be handcrafted to create your new smile. This process can take between two and three weeks.

The Fit Appointment

  • Your temporary veneers will be removed and your teeth will be washed to remove any remaining cement.
  • Your new veneers will be temporarily placed using a special paste which will allow the dentist to make any adjustments that are required and to make sure that you are happy with the appearance.
  • The veneers will then be removed and the tooth surface prepared for the dental adhesive. The veneers will be permanently cemented in place to create the beautiful smile you have been waiting for.

Advantages of Dental Veneers

Veneers offer the following advantages:

  • They provide a natural tooth appearance.
  • Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well.
  • Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant.
  • The colour of a porcelain veneer can be selected to make dark teeth appear whiter.
  • Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth’s colour and shape. They generally don’t require the extensive shaping prior to the procedure that crowns do, yet they offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative.

Looking after your veneers

Veneers can last a long time, but a lot depends on how you take care of them. You must maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing twice a day and having six monthly examinations with your dentist.

Habits that damage natural teeth, such as biting pens and pencils, opening bottle tops with your teeth, and biting your nails, will also damage your veneers.
