Veneers
If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malaligned, veneers will give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment.
A veneer is a porcelain facing on the front of your teeth usually your top teeth, it is just like a false finger nail.
Veneers are made out of porcelain and are used mainly for aesthetic reasons.
Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and
because they are very thin and are held in place by a
special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little
preparation of the tooth is needed
Porcelain
veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of
teeth.
A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give
the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained
tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones)
generally.
Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable.
If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others. |
