Porcelain veneers are a splendidly simple way of improving your smile. Dental veneers can immediately improve your grin, the tooth shape and colour and they can correct a spread of tiny defects like dental cracks, stains and chips. If you're interested in dental veneers, then you should know a few things before you go and see the dentist.
Sorts of veneers. Most dentists offer 2 different types of veneers: porcelain and composite. Porcelain veneers are more natural looking and they're exceptionally stable. Nonetheless they do take roughly a week to complete. The dentist will prep your teeth, then take a measurement or impression of your teeth and custom-make the porcelain veneer for your teeth. This does take a little time. However , composite veneers can be completed faster. They can be done immediately in one sitting or you can choose a two-sitting veneer application. Both varieties are popular with patients and they are awfully natural looking.
Aside from traditional veneers, dentists now offer a few alternative kinds like Lumineers, which are made of patented porcelain. These veneers are about the thickness of a contact lens and are awfully powerful. They can be attached to the tooth surface without the need to trim the tooth surface. The process is faster and pain-free. Da Vinci veneers are like Lumineers but a special lab in California only makes them for a selected few patients and dentists. MAC veneers are another variety that are made of pressed ceramic and they're surprisingly robust with a similar appearance to porcelain. Ideally, your dentist will suggest the best variety for your teeth but it is a good idea to research the various variations that are accessible and debate them with your dentist.
Cost. Porcelain veneers are better looking but custom making them is costly. A single veneer may cost about $700-$2000 or even more. But some insurance corporations do provide coverage. Composite veneers are cheaper and they cost about $250 per tooth. But you should know that lab costs, the ability and reputation of the dentist and the amount of teeth covered will all influence the cost of the veneers.
Preparation time. The precise preparation time will change according to the veneers you have selected. As an example, porcelain veneers will require two weeks to complete. The dentist will ready your teeth, take a measurement and then hire a lab to custom-make your porcelain veneers. In this two-week time, your dentist may cover your prepared teeth with non permanent veneers to guarantee dental safety. Composite veneers are prepared quickly and they can be finished in one sitting at the dentist or they may require a week to complete. If you're in a hurry, tell your dentist, and he will adjust treatment time accordingly. Special veneers like Lumineers, Da Vinci, MAC etc will take a great deal of time to make and they're pricey.
The bottom line. Veneers are beautiful but they do need upkeep. Make sure you floss and clean your teeth frequently to ensure that your veneers are maintained.
