What are veneers
Veneers are very thin shells that are permanently stuck to the front of your existing teeth. They are shaped and coloured to match your natural teeth, so they fit in perfectly with your smile.
They are an easier option than crowns because while crowns require a full covering for your entire tooth, veneers only require a single front shell to cover just the front of each tooth. Veneers are either made from composite materials or porcelain, each of which has its benefits.
Depending on your needs, preferences, and the condition of your teeth, you can choose one of the following types of veneers with the help of your dentist:
Composite veneers (direct veneers)
Composite veneers are the most common type and are popular for their lower cost and fast application. They are custom-made out of composite material that is added to the front of your tooth by an experienced cosmetic dentist.
Porcelain veneers (indirect veneers)
Porcelain veneers are a non-invasive treatment and are a relatively quick way to enhance the natural look of your smile.
Are veneers right for me
If you are unhappy with your smile, veneers can be an excellent solution. However, any cosmetic procedure requires careful consideration. At Nashua Dentist, we are always happy to consult you about veneers and other tooth restoration options. If you want to learn more, please contact us to book an appointment today.
How do I look after veneers
Neither Composite nor Porcelain Veneers require extensive care. All you have to do is brush your teeth twice a day and floss as per usual. Your dentist may also recommend wearing a bite guard at night to extend the lifespan of your veneers.
While permanent veneers are highly durable, we recommend that you avoid eating extra-hard foods, as well as foods that will stain your teeth such as rich curries.
