Wondering what dental veneers are? Well, they are a thin layer or porcelain or other material, placed over teeth, to either protect them from further damage or improve aesthetics. These are thin, custom-made shells, sometimes of porcelain, of tooth colored materials that are bonded to your teeth to improve the overall appearance of your mouth. These are bonded to the front of the teeth, in order to change their shape, size, color or length.
Procedure for Getting Dental Veneers
The procedure for getting dental veneers is like most other dental procedures. It is carried out in stages – treatment planning, preparation and bonding. The first step is to see a dentist and undergo a complete mouth diagnosis. This stage involves your active participation. You will have to explain to your dentist the result that you want to achieve. And your dentist will then examine your teeth to find out if you're a good candidate for the treatment. The diagnosis may involve taking x-rays and impressions of your mouth and teeth.
If you're found a good candidate for the treatment, in the next appointment your dentist will prepare you for veneers. He or she will remove about ½ millimeter of enamel from the surface of your tooth. You may also need a local anesthetic to numb the area before trimming off the enamel. Once it's done, the impressions of your tooth are taken for custom-building veneers and are sent to laboratory.
The porcelain veneers in Tampa FL will take around 10-15 days. In the mean time, your dentist will provide you with temporary veneers on an additional cost. Once your veneer is ready, it will be bonded on your tooth. Before fixing it permanently, your dentist will temporary fix it on your tooth to see if it fits the space. Some adjustments can be made on the spot before cementing it permanently. Remember your tooth needs to be cleaned and polished before fixing veneer. It may make the surface rough, which does nothing but allows a strong bonding. Once it is done, excessive cement is removed carefully.
Your treatment doesn't end here. You will have to make a follow-up visit to your dentist to examine the placement of the veneer and to check how gums are responding to the presence of veneers.
