| What are dental veneers?
|
|
|
| Dental
veneers are very thin pieces of
custom-designed porcelain or "jackets
or shells" (very precisely
tailored to match individual patient's
needs) that are glued over "honed-down
and prepared" teeth, often
an alternative to crowns. Sometimes,
only the front of the tooth needs
porcelain laminates for a cosmetic
look. The resultant naturally-looking,
well-aligned, whiter, more evenly-spaced
teeth provide for that much sought
after cosmetically perfect smile.
Dental veneers are most popular
among people of all walks of life
and profession who are aesthetic-conscious,
and not only among actors and
actresses and other public performers.
Dental veneers are made of very
thin porcelain which has great
longevity, 10-15 years or more). |

The
veneers are strong and durable,
and if properly cared for, they
could last up to 10 to 15 years.
They won't stain, and come in
various shades of colors that
will brighten dark teeth and will
not change or fade. Porcelain
veneers cannot stand excessive
forces or sharp impacts. Biting
on hard objects, like hairpins,
fingernails, bottle caps, bones
or any other hard items are to
be avoided because this could
crack or dislodge veneers. Those
into sports must wear a protective
mouth guard. Those who clench
and grind their teeth (termed
"brux") must control
this habit of bruxism. A plastic
night guard for the teeth can
be worn to protect the porcelain
veneer from breaking during sleep.
