Veneers provide immediate and noticeable results making them one of the most popular cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile. Teeth that are chipped, misshapen, or discoloured can be corrected using veneers.
Veneers are a permanent restoration and cannot be reversed.
What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are thin tooth-coloured strips of porcelain that is bonded to the front of teeth to give the appearance of no imperfections. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, so there is no need to worry about them becoming discoloured.
What happens during the procedure?
When being fitted for veneers, your dentist will remove about half a millimetre of enamel from the surface of your teeth. This also roughens the tooth surface an ensures the veneers bond correctly, and it allows for the added thickness of the veneer. An impression is taken so your customised veneers can be fabricated.
At your follow-up appointment, your dentist will place the veneers on your teeth and check the shade before cementing them into place and curing for a mini smile makeover result.
Many people choose single-tooth dental implants to replace a missing tooth.
Missing teeth can have a detrimental effect on your self-esteem, the beauty of your natural smile, and can even lead to problems with chewing or speaking.
Dental implants can be a long-lasting solution to this problem.
How does a single-tooth implant work?
Your dentist will implant a small titanium/zirconium screw in your jawbone. The screw takes the place of the root of a natural tooth.
On top of this screw, the dentist will attach a dental crown, essentially a prosthetic tooth customised to fit your mouth and match the colour of your natural teeth.
Why should I consider a dental implant?
Losing a tooth causes the bone tissue in the immediate area to break down. This, in turn, can impact the rest of your teeth by loosening or causing other teeth to drift into the gap.
If you wait too long before getting an implant, the recession and break down of the jaw bone by the missing tooth may make you unsuitable for an implant.
A dental implant stimulates the bone cells in your jaw, preventing and in some cases reversing bone recession.
