DENTAL veneers are a simple option to improve smiles.
The veneers are thin coverings placed over the visible part of front teeth, achieving a natural appearance. Veneers can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues, such as:
· teeth that are stained and cannot be whitened by bleaching;
· chipped or worn teeth;
· crooked or misaligned teeth; and
· uneven spaces or a large gaps between upper or lower front teeth.
Veneers are made of either porcelain or composite resin material. Dentists can help patients choose the right material for their particular requirements, with each type of veneer having its own benefits.
Porcelain veneers are a thin shell custom-made to fit on individual teeth. They are strong and longer-lasting compared to composite resin veneers, do not stain easily and have a natural-looking surface.
Composite resin veneers are made from a tooth-coloured filling material bonded to the tooth. The benefits of resin veneers include the usual removal of less tooth enamel, lower cost than porcelain, potentially fewer follow-up visits to the dentists and easier repairs if damaged.
