what are veneers teeth

Description
  • A dental veneer is a shell, or layer of
    tooth-colored porcelain or composite that is
    placed over the facial surfaces of your teeth to
    correct worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment
    or spacing, discoloration and chips or cracks.
  • Although veneers fall into the category of
    cosmetic dentistry because they create bright,
    white smiles with beautifully aligned, shapely
    teeth, they also protect the surface of damaged
    teeth and may eliminate the need for more
    extensive treatments. Other benefits include
    durability, an improved smile appearance, and the
    need for little-to-no removal of tooth structure
    compared to crowns.

  • Regardless of what causes unattractive teeth,
    dental veneers may solve most or even all of your
    cosmetic dental issues, including
  • Worn enamel Over time, the thin, hard
    translucent substance covering your teeth
    (enamel) may become worn, dulled and discolored.
    Such wear and discoloration may be natural or
    result from a genetic predisposition. However, it
    often results from consuming soft drinks, tea or
    coffee smoking using certain medications, etc.
  • Wear and tear Teeth naturally wear down as
    people age. Aged teeth are more likely to have
    chips, cracks or a generally uneven appearance.
  • Genetics Certain people are born with abnormal
    spacing between their teeth that widens with age.
  • Uneven teeth Uneven teeth can result from tooth
    grinding or general wear and tear.

  • To determine if you are a candidate for dental
    veneers, your dentist will schedule a preliminary
    consultation during which your oral health will
    be evaluated and all available treatment options
    discussed. Treatment involving tooth preparation
    is irreversible, so it is important that your
    dentist discuss any alternatives that provide the
    same results but with minimal to no removal of
    tooth structure. If you and your dentist decide
    that veneers are the best option, the next step
    involves a thorough review of treatment details,
    including preparing your teeth for your specific
    veneer procedure and what will be necessary for
    them to look and fit correctly.
  • During your consultation, you will actively
    participate in the "smile design process." By
    sharing your preferences for the shape, length,
    width and color of the veneers and the change in
    the appearance of your smile that you want them
    to create, you help ensure that your treatment
    will meet your expectations. It is important that
    your dentist understands your objectives when
    undergoing a veneer procedu

  • Veneers Cost Factors
  • Porcelain veneers are more expensive than the
    indirect or direct composite resin alternative.
    Traditional porcelain veneers cost between 925
    and 2,500 per tooth but can last 10 to 15 years.
    Composite veneers cost approximately 250 to
    1500 per tooth and may last between five and
    seven years.
  • Generally speaking, the cost of dental veneers
    depends on many factors, including
  • The fees of the cosmetic dentist performing the
    procedure.
  • The artistic and technical skill of the ceramist
    making the veneers and the cosmetic dentist who
    places them.
  • The location where treatment is performed. Costs
    for cosmetic dentistry procedures vary widely by
    region of the country, specifically from large
    metropolitan areas to smaller towns.
  • The type of dental insurance you have. Dental
    insurance typically does not cover cosmetic
    procedures.
  • The material used. Porcelain is more expensive
    than indirect or direct composite resin.
  • The number of teeth being treated.
