Cosmetic veneers are a thin layer of porcelain, resin, or other material that’s bonded over the front of your natural teeth. The point of a dental veneer procedure is to mask unattractive healthy teeth, transforming them into a beautiful smile.
Veneers don’t repair or reinforce broken teeth, worn teeth, but they do improve the appearance of teeth that are structurally sound and intact. They’re not made to treat areas of active tooth decay, infection, or severely worn/broken teeth. Veneers are only for aesthetic purposes only.
Depending on what your smile looks like, you may need more or fewer veneers than someone else. Typically, the veneers procedure will involve treating all of the visible upper teeth in your “smile zone.” This can range from 6-10 teeth or more. The total number of restorations that you get will impact the total veneer cost; much of it is dependent upon the width of your smile.
When you look at veneers closely, you’ll see that they cover the front of each respective tooth, but they slightly overlap the edges and sides, too. This design allows you to smile without the natural tooth being visible. But it also makes veneers more conservative than dental crowns, as the back of each tooth isn’t completely covered.
Cosmetic veneers quickly enhance the way your overall smile looks. Investing in attractive-looking teeth can help you feel more confident, comfortable, and able to make a great impression around new people. Aesthetic treatments like veneers work best on teeth that are generally healthy, but not as attractive as you’d like them to be. Since the veneer treatment is fairly quick it offers fast results when you need it.
Most people consider dental veneers an investment in themselves and their self-confidence. When you feel great about the way your teeth look, you’ll feel more at ease smiling and talking to other people. Adults who are looking to make a career change, feel embarrassed by their teeth, or are jumping back into the dating scene may find that veneers can help them feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Composite Resin Veneers
Also known as “chairside veneers” or “same-day veneers”, are similar to cosmetic bonding or a white filling. Instead of being made in a lab, the material is immediately shaped onto your tooth by your dentist, then cured into place with a bright light. Not only is composite chair side veneers more affordable than porcelain veneers, these veneers can be done in one day and are a great option if you only need to fix one or two teeth as quickly as possible. Arguably the biggest advantage that composite veneers have over porcelain is reversibility. Porcelain requires reshaping of your natural teeth in order to fit the veneer. When it comes to composites, minimal prep work is required on your natural teeth, meaning they are not permanently altered to such an extent that the composite material cannot be removed and replaced as needed. With proper care composite resin veneers can last 3–7 years.
The downside to composite veneers is that composite isn’t as durable as porcelain veneers are, so they’re at a greater risk of chipping. Luckily, damaged composite is relatively easy to fix. It can be resulted with more resin to repair. Composite veneers also can stain easily, it is recommended for patients to adjust their diets to avoid foods like coffee, red wine or tobacco- anything that could discolor the resin.
A lesser-known alternative to traditional porcelain veneers and composite veneers is the no-prep design. These dental lab-made veneers are crafted from a durable laminate material and bond directly on top of your unaltered tooth enamel.
The advantage of no-prep veneers is that there is no drilling necessary and they are completely reversible. So, if you want to remove them later on, you can, and you won’t have to immediately replace them like you would with porcelain.
The downside to removable veneers is that not everyone qualifies for them since they can make some people’s teeth look bulky.
Which Type Is Best And Why?
Ultimately the best type of veneers for your smile is going to be different than what might be ideal for someone else. The type of restoration you choose will have a lot to do with factors like:
Maybe all of your teeth look great except for one of them. In that case, a single composite veneer would be recommended so that you don’t have to re-shape all of the other teeth around it.
