Comprehensive Guide to Cosmetic Veneers at Dentistry at Golden Ridge

Cosmetic veneers can address various dental issues, including:

• Discoloration: Veneers can cover stains that are resistant to removal with teeth whitening.
• Chips and cracks: Veneers can effectively mask chips and cracks in teeth, restoring a smooth and even appearance.
• Gaps: Veneers can lessen the appearance of small gaps between teeth without the need for braces.

The process typically involves several steps:

1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, your dentist will examine your oral health and collaborate with you to determine your treatment objectives.
2. Preparation: A minimal layer of enamel will be gently removed from your teeth to accommodate the veneers.
3. Impressions: Precise impressions of your teeth will be taken to fabricate bespoke veneers that match your dental anatomy precisely.
4. Placement: The veneers will be securely bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth using dental cement, ensuring a snug fit. Any necessary refinements will be made to achieve an optimal result.

There is no restorative material that can be considered permanent in the mouth. Like the tooth structure, any restoration wears down with time. Veneers may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear and tear.

With diligent care and upkeep, cosmetic veneers typically maintain their appearance and function for 10-15 years or longer. Consistent adherence to excellent oral hygiene, routine dental check-ups, and avoiding habits that may harm veneers, like chewing on hard items, can significantly prolong their durability.

Most people with healthy teeth and gums are candidates for cosmetic veneers. However, individuals with severe tooth decay, gum disease, or inadequate enamel may need alternative treatments. A consultation with your dentist at Dentistry at Golden Ridge will determine if veneers are right for you.

Caring for veneers is similar to caring for natural teeth:

• Brush and floss regularly using non-abrasive toothpaste
• Avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth as tools
• Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings to maintain oral health
