Dental Veneers - Quick Teeth Whitening
1. What are dental veneers?
Dental veneer is to cover your own teeth with an artificial substance to change the shape, size, color and angle of the teeth, so as to achieve the effect of beautiful teeth.
2. What material is used for dental veneers?
The material for a veneer restoration can be the composite resin used to fill a tooth, but the most common veneer restoration material is ceramic.
3. Are dental veneers harmful to the body?
The material of dental veneers has no harmful effect on the body. Compared with composite resin veneers, porcelain veneers are not easy to be stained, and well simulate the light reflection characteristics of natural teeth.
But resin veneers are thinner, which requires less tooth surface removal. Before making a final decision, you need to communicate with your dentist to choose the right veneer material.
4. What problems can dental veneers fix?
Tooth staining: When the teeth are too stained, such as fluorosis and severe tetracycline teeth, which cannot be improved by tooth washing, cold light whitening, etc., dental veneers can be used, which can cover any small stain on the teeth.
Damaged teeth: Excessive wear, excessive consumption of carbonated drinks, small chipped teeth, and accidental fractures can cause serious tooth damage. Dental veneers can hide these problems.
Too small teeth: The tooth body is obviously too small, showing a cone-shaped shape, and there is an angular gap between adjacent teeth.
Excessive gaps between teeth: Dental veneers can cover excessive gaps between teeth. It is a convenient and quick method for people who do not want to use orthodontics to close the gaps between teeth.
5. How long can dental veneers be used?
Ceramic veneers typically last 5 to 10 years, while composite resin materials have a shorter lifespan.
6. Advantages of dental veneers
1. Restoration materials and natural teeth have very similar optical properties (reflection and transparency), and the restored teeth look very realistic.
2. Commonly used ceramic veneer materials will hardly change color due to coffee, red wine, and tobacco.
3. Compared with the configuration of crowns, veneer restorations require much less grinding of natural teeth.
4. Compared with orthodontics, the treatment process is shorter. It is a quick way to beautify teeth.
