Veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic services we offer at Dental Aesthetics, and in this article we‘ll explain what you should know before looking into booking an appointment.
Dental Veneers
So, what exactly are dental veneers? Well, they‘re tiny, decorative coverings for teeth that are individually glued onto the front surfaces to make them look better.
Veneers are very thin, tailored shells that are mainly made from porcelain or composite resin and that are fitted on a front tooth of a patient. They resemble the size and color of natural teeth and at the same time, they can be used to fix cracks, discolored teeth, chips or slight mispositions. Veneers are a one or two visits treatment mainly because of the little treatment that they want to fit on dental tissues.
Why Pakistan Is Becoming a Hub for Cosmetic Dentistry
In recent few years there has been a drastic increase in demand for cosmetic dental treatment in Pakistan. Every clinic in the metropolitan city has the latest technology, an internationally trained dentist and a price tag much cheaper as compared to western world and this is the main reason why patients are willing to get the best veneers in Pakistan and not go abroad at a higher cost.
All of our clinicians at Dental Aesthetics use state of the art diagnostics in conjunction with a patient-centric approach, so every veneer case is customized to your face shape, bite and aesthetic preferences.
Types of Veneers We Offer
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain is a popular choice of veneer due to the fact that they are natural looking and durable. They are less porous than composite veneers and stain less. They can last between 10 to 15years with good maintenance.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are a cheaper alternative that are often completed in one appointment. Though they do not last as long as porcelain them, they are a great option for those who want a speedy cosmetic salvation.
Zirconia Crown Treatment as an Alternative
Zirconia Crown Treatment. Those patients who require additional structural support along with their aesthetic correction, it is our usual recommendation to opt for an overall coverage likeZirconia Crown Treatment. Zirconia crown provides a full cusp coverage as it covers the complete outside surface of a tooth as compared to normal veneers.
Who Would Be a Suitable Candidate for Veneers?
Veneers are ideal for patients dealing with:
Discoloration that doesn‘t bleach out.
Chipped orabrazed teeth.
Diastma increased spaces between the teeth.
Small misalignments that are not severe enough to justify an orthodontic correction.
Irregular morphology and size of teeth.
Veneers are not always suitable for every situation though, other options such as Clear Braces, Fixed Braces or Ceramic Braces (depending on the severity of the case) may be more appropriate and are available at Dental Aesthetics.
What Should be Done Before Veneer Application?
Prior to any cosmetic procedure our dentist carries out a comprehensive oral examination. This is necessary because you need to treat any problems before you go ahead with the treatment.
For instance:
In the event of an infected or broken tooth, a Root Canal may be suggested prior to a Veneer or Crown.
Patients who have sustained an injury may require Jaw Fracture Treatment to stabilize the bite until cosmetic work can be done.
Anyone with jaw pain, clicking, or pain when chewing should go through TMJ Pain Treatment first, because untreated TMJ problems can alter the fit and overall shape of veneers after they have been implanted.
Oral Dental Surgery may be needed in some situations, to set the mouth in readiness for the cosmetic restorations.
This incremental process means your new smile will not only be beautiful but healthy as well and durable.
