subject: Veneers In Dentistry [print this page] Dental veneers were first developed in California, USA. Though at the time the glue used was no good and the veneers came off after a short period.
These days, veneers have been highly modernized. Using modern bonding adhesives, they can bond to the teeth for up to 30 years. In the past, the only way to correct dental imperfections was to cover the tooth with a crown.
What is the definition of 'veneer'? It is defined as "a thin layer of a material bonded to the surface of a less attractive or inferior material". In the field of dentistry, veneers are thin layers of artificial tooth (made of resin or porcelain) that are the normal color of your tooth and are put on your tooth.
Veneers nowadays are used to better the appearance of teeth and to repair or protect teeth that have surface damage.
What makes you a candidate for veneers? Large spaces between your teeth; poorly shaped or crooked teeth; broken or chipped teeth; worn down, misaligned or uneven teeth. Dental veneers can also be used to handle externally or internally stained or permanently discolored teeth that can not be handled through professional teeth whitening.
As gone over previously, veneers are made of porcelain or resin. Your dentist can advise you which option might be best suited.
Dental veneers are very resistant from being tarnished by coffee, tea, tobacco and such. They give your teeth a fresh look; making them look new and healthy.
Veneers have had rave reviews by dentists and patients likewise. Stories of how they have literally changed peoples lives are abundant by giving them new confidence - no longer shying away from others due to the state of their teeth.
Though veneers stand within the realm of cosmetic dentistry, they are a relatively simple, fast, and straightforward procedure that greatly enhances ones looks, strengthens ones teeth, and may be exactly what you need to improve your appearance and your smile.
Dental Veneers are produced at the laboratory, following your first appointment with your local dental expert. Your dentist, during your initial visit, will consult you how the procedure will take place and will take a mold of the tooth/teeth that need to be veneered. When your veneer(s) have been produced, your local dental expert will place them on the required tooth/teeth. He will then go over with you how to care for your veneers in order for them to last and remain in good condition.
