There is nothing like a dazzling smile to set your face aglow - it reflects good health and confidence. And that's why each of us wants to have a perfect set of teeth. Even, straight and white teeth no longer need to be something you dream of, you can have a set of teeth just like a movie star with cosmetic tooth veneers. Did you imagine that all celebrities are born with a perfect set of teeth? That is not true, but the fact that getting cosmetic tooth veneers is easy, painless and fast has made it very popular.
Cosmetic tooth veneers: What are they and why would you need them?
A strong, thin layer of porcelain "shell" is placed over your teeth and permanently bonded to your natural teeth with the help of a resin adhesive, in order to create perfectly formed teeth that can be as white as you please. Veneers are durable and resist stains and you can enjoy your beautiful teeth for several years. Your dentist can guide you on whether you are a right candidate for veneers after a consultation followed by a detailed examination, but most common conditions like gaps between teeth also known as diastema, broken or chipped teeth, misaligned teeth or stained teeth can be corrected.
Here's how cosmetic tooth veneers are placed.
After removing a small part of the enamel to make space for veneers, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth in order to fabricate tooth veneers that are an exact replica of your own set. On your next visit, your dentist will put a mild solution on your teeth that helps the veneers stick to your teeth more efficiently. A tooth coloured bonding material is applied next, and the tooth veneers are attached to your natural teeth one by one.
Are cosmetic tooth veneers high maintenance?
Just as your teeth, veneers can't endure forceful impacts and can get damaged by biting nails, ice or other hard objects. Cosmetic tooth veneers should be cleaned like your natural teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day to remove food debris to prevent buildup of plaque and dental decay. It is also recommended to visit your dentist regularly for cleaning and examination. You need to take good care of your teeth veneers so that they last several long years. Your dentist would advise you about recommended oral products and also give you tips to maximise the life of your tooth veneers.
