Dental veneers are often used to fix aesthetical dental problems for the front teeth. Thin custom-made thin, tooth-coloured shells that are designed to attach the front (visible) part of the tooth to improve their appearance. These shells are permanently bonded to the in front of the teeth changing their size, shape and colour in order to boost your self-confidence and appearance. Veneers are almost like artificial nails; Thin acrylic materials are adhered over your natural nails to create an appealing look that lasts about 3-4 weeks. However, veneers are a long term investment where they last about 10-15 years.

Differences Between Laminate Veneers and Dental Crowns;
There is some confusion when it comes to the differences between Veneers and Crowns since they provide the same solutions. However, it is not up to the patient to choose between them.
*Veneers are only used for aesthetic purposes and dental crowns are used for aesthetic purposes as well as dental restoration purposes if the tooth is broken, extremely worn down and has a large filling.
*Before getting Laminate Veneers the tooth is filed down minimally since there should be enough enamel on your tooth for a veneer to bond to it. However, if a crown is needed, the tooth is filed down a lot more to fit the dental crown.
* Another difference is that a veneer only covers the front of your tooth and a crown covers the entire tooth.
Both Laminate Veneers and Crowns are custom-made and matched with the rest of your teeth.
Procedure of Getting Dental Veneers
1- Before getting started, the dentist will examine your mouth's condition and get a feel for what you want as well as understanding your needs and concerns. Then to make space for your veneers, a small bit of enamel from each tooth will be removed. Next, an impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a dental laboratory. The laboratory will use the impression to create your veneers. During this time, you will be given temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth.
2- Once your veneers are ready, your permanent veneers will be bonded in place and a special curing light will be used to activate the dental cement so it permanently bonds the veneer to the visible part of your tooth.
Veneers Aftercare, take good care of your new smile!
