Ceramic Veneers – Smile Makeover
Are you looking to improve your smile by getting dental veneers done and achieve a long-lasting natural-looking result? Ceramic veneers might be the answer you have been searching for.
What Are Ceramic Veneers?
Ceramic veneers are thin shells made from high-quality dental porcelain or ceramic, a material that closely resembles the natural color and translucency of your teeth. They are custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. This ensures a seamless blend with your existing teeth, creating a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing smile. Ceramic veneers are designed to improve the appearance of your teeth by correcting various dental imperfections such as discoloration, chips, cracks, mild misalignment, spacing or teeth with improper shape and size.
Common Issues Resolved by ceramic veneers
Ceramic veneers are versatile and can address a wide range of dental issues. They are commonly used to:
- Address chipped tooth: Ceramic veneers can restore the shape and appearance of damaged teeth, making them look whole and healthy.
- Conceal Teeth Color and Tetracycline stains: Ceramic veneers can effectively cover your unsatisfied teeth color, discolored old fillings and stubborn stains caused by certain medications.
- Enhance aesthetics for slightly misaligned or uneven teeth: Ceramic veneers can create the illusion of perfectly aligned teeth, improving dental symmetry and overall aesthetics.
4. Close small gaps and alter irregular tooth shapes and sizes: Ceramic veneers can effectively close small gaps between teeth and create a more harmonious smile by altering the shape and size of teeth.
Pros of Ceramic Veneers
One of the significant advantages of ceramic veneers is their ability to provide a natural-looking appearance. Ceramic Veneers are designed to mimic natural teeth. They allow light to pass through them, mimicking the way natural teeth reflect light. The fabrication process for ceramic veneers involves sending impressions of the prepared teeth to a dental laboratory, where skilled technicians create custom veneers that perfectly match the shape, size, and color of the patient’s natural teeth. They are highly durable and stain-resistant, providing long-term results. They can last approximately 5-10 years or longer. Additionally, there is a wide-range shade of white available.
The Procedure for Getting Ceramic Veneers
Getting ceramic veneers at Bangkok New Smile typically involves several steps:
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a cosmetic dentist at Bangkok New Smile to discuss your goals and determine if ceramic veneers are the right option for you.
- Create Wax-Up Models: Teeth impressions are taken to create study models or mock-ups.
- Preparation: During this stage, a small amount of enamel will be removed from the front surface of your teeth to create space for the veneers. Impressions of your teeth will also be taken to create custom-made veneers. Temporary veneers are prepared and applied while you wait for the permanent ones.
- Fitting and Finalization: Once your veneers are ready before permanently bonding the veneers, the color, shape, and fit are checked to ensure patient satisfaction. Veneers are then cemented into place and cured with a special light after that your dentist will evaluate your bite and make any final adjustments if needed. They will also provide you with post-care instructions to ensure the longevity of your ceramic veneers.
- Prevent Unintended Breakage: Dental impressions will be taken to make your night guards, reducing the risk of accidental damage to your veneers caused by teeth grinding while you sleep.
Note: Additional treatment such as teeth whitening, scaling and polishing, tooth filling, etc. may be required for the best possible outcome. Also, sometimes an extra appointment is necessary if you request any changes to your veneer(s) after your third appointment.
Post-Care Instructions
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your ceramic veneers, it is important to follow these post-care instructions:
- Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
- Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects that may damage the veneers.
- Visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings.
- Consider wearing a mouthguard during sports or activities that may pose a risk to your veneers.
- Wear dental nightguards at night to prevent unintended breakage.
