Change Your Smile by Direct Composite Veneers
What are Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are a form of cosmetic dentistry in which a layer of tooth-colored composite is placed over the facial surfaces of your teeth to correct worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, discoloration, and chips or cracks. There are a number of shades of white available. Composite veneers can usually be completed in just one dental appointment. This is a great advantage for individuals with busy schedules or those seeking immediate results.
Procedure for Composite Veneer Treatment
- Consultation: The first step in the composite veneers treatment process is a consultation with your dentist. During this discussion, your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your desired outcome.
- Select Color and Attach Veneer: Your dentist will help you select the veneer color and shape that best suits your desired outcome. To ensure that the veneers adhere properly, a small amount of enamel may be removed from the front surface of your teeth during the tooth preparation process. After that composite material is bonded, shaped and polished.
For the best treatment outcome, our dentist might recommend some additional treatments such as teeth whitening, tooth fillings, and teeth cleaning before getting composite veneers done.
