Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth coloured porcelain (ceramic) shells carefully crafted to bond to and cover the front of unsightly teeth. One of the most aesthetic smile solutions, porcelain veneers are popular in treating a number of smile issues. Porcelain veneers are strong, will not stain and feel natural.
Key benefits of porcelain veneers
- Minimal tooth preparation
- Permanent and durable
- Improve the appearance of natural teeth eg. restore spaces, chips, fractures, rotated or misaligned teeth, unshapely or discolored teeth
Treatment process
Visit 1. At the first visit the teeth are prepared but relatively very little of your tooth structure is reduced. Impressions of the prepared teeth are taken and sent upstairs to Omega Ceramics Dental Laboratory where the veneers are made. You will visit the laboratory and meet the dental technician to enable the ceramist to see your teeth and accurately colour match your porcelain veneers. Temporary veneers are made to protect your teeth whilst the porcelain veneers are made.
Visit 2. At the subsequent appointment, the temporary veneer/s is removed and the final veneer/s is permanently bonded into place.
