Everything You Need to Know About Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are one of the easiest dental restoration procedures with astonishing results. They are customized oral appliances mainly used for cosmetic purposes that also help improve the strength and functionality of the teeth. 

Since veneers are made from tooth-colored material, they are also indistinguishable from the adjoining natural teeth, thereby allowing you to maintain a natural smile.

At Silicon Valley Dental Care, we know all about veneers and their benefits. Read on to learn all about them. 

What Are Veneers Used For?

At Silicon Valley Dental Care, we will conduct a thorough analysis of your oral condition before determining your candidacy for veneers. We usually use these restorations to treat individuals with the following oral conditions:

• Chipped or naturally misshapen teeth: Veneers can conceal tooth chips and fractures and restore the natural tooth contour. 
• Excessively worn-out teeth: Oral conditions such as bruxism, excessive grinding of teeth, clenching the jaw, etc., can lead to severe wear of the teeth. Veneers can restore them to their ideal size and contour.
• Excessively spaced teeth: Teeth that are spaced too far apart due to malocclusion can be corrected to appear properly spaced using dental veneers.
• Extreme discoloration: Teeth that are too badly stained or that may not respond well to teeth whitening procedures can be whitened with veneers.

Why Choose Veneers?

• Veneers are very versatile and can be used for correcting many dental issues.
• Veneers are made from tooth-colored, dental-grade, customizable materials, making them discreet.
• Veneers are very durable and maintain their aspect and structure for many years.
• It only takes one or two dental visits to get the veneers fabricated and bonded to the teeth. This makes the process extremely convenient and quick.

How is a Veneer Placed?

At Silicon Valley Dental Care, we start by carefully examining your oral health and the severity of the oral conditions that veneers may be a suitable treatment for. Once your candidacy for veneers is confirmed, we will prepare the tooth by removing a thin layer of enamel from it to make space for the restoration. 

To fabricate the veneers, we will use digital scans and X-rays.

Once fabricated, the veneers are placed on the teeth and any changes are made to ensure a perfect fit.
