Dentists use veneers to help conceal chips, stains, cracks, and other imperfections. Veneers fit over the front area of the teeth, thus covering the surface. Allard Dental Centre uses tooth-colored porcelain or composite resin to create dental veneers. Our dentists near you will discuss the material choice you prefer for veneers. After the procedure, you will have the imperfections masked with the restorations.
If you want to enhance the look of your smile, you may want to explore veneers. Receiving dental veneers in Langley, BC, can help camouflage the following:
You can only get veneers if you do not have extensive cavities or gum disease. Otherwise, if these issues are present, they have to be tackled first.
We make impressions or molds of the teeth. Our dentists use the molds to make the veneers in a lab, which takes a few weeks. During the second appointment, our dentists check the color, shape, and fit of the fabricated veneers and then bond them onto the tooth. We check your bite to see that it is proper, and if adjustments are needed, we perform them.
To keep veneers in good status, you should brush, floss, and visit our dentists regularly. Make sure you brush with a soft-bristled brush. Use non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Again, avoid whitening procedures because they can cause scratches on veneers.
Moreover, avoid biting directly into crunchy or hard foods like carrots, tough meats, and apples. You can slice or cut up the foods before chewing them with the back teeth. Although porcelain veneers are stain resistant, you still want to avoid dark-colored foods or beverages like red wine, berries, tea, and coffee since they can stain the restorations over time.
