Dental Veneers

How Do Veneers Look?

If you’ve ever noticed a star with absolutely perfect teeth, don’t despair – they may have dental veneers. Some may get one or two dental veneers to enhance their teeth’s appearance, while others may go for more to have a symmetrical smile. It’s essential to understand what happens through veneer treatment before you choose to go for it.

Veneers: Step by Step Guide

Veneer treatment includes several sessions. If you have veneers fitted at All On Dental clinic, the process may take six days to complete, depending on the individual patient and your dentist’s suggestions.

After sharing your smile images, you will know your trip details and the price.

Dental Consultation

First, you want to send images and x-rays of your teeth so your dentist can ensure they are suitable for dental Veneers. Once evaluated, you’ll receive a treatment plan with trip details. The first day after your arrival in Turkey will be a consultation with your dentist. Your dentist will examine your teeth, look for signs of damage or decay, and explain your veneers' translucence, shade, shape, and colour.

Preparation of Your Teeth

Dental tools remove the external enamel layer from the teeth getting Veneers. This process is identified as ‘shaving down,’ and it’s essential to know that your dentist will shave down barely enough enamel so that your veneers don’t look bulky once fitted.

Making the Impression

After your teeth have been prepared, your dentist will make an impression by creating veneers that uniquely match your teeth. Your dentist will then give the mold to a dental laboratory which will use it to produce exact replicas of the damaged teeth.

If you have veneers fitted at All On Dental, the crafting can take around 2-4 days. But the time you need to be in Turkey can vary depending on arrival day and availability.

While you wait for your veneers, you’ll be provided with temporary ones to wear while the permanent veneers are being made. The temporary veneers are just for protection and appearance. They might not be optimum for chewing hard food and chewy food. You are advised to eat processed soft food for around four days.

Choosing the Shade

Before any veneer can be crafted, the color of the suitable veneer will need to be chosen. Each patient gets a personalized approach for their veneers using a color chart. The color chart guarantees a perfect finish and helps build a more natural teeth expression.

Bonding the Veneers

Within four working days, the permanent veneers are ready. The next round is the bonding procedure. Your dentist will clean, polish, and etch your teeth. Etching allows a robust bonding method.

After that, the dental cement is applied to the teeth, and the veneer is attached. The dentist will use a specially focused light beam to bond the veneer to the tooth. This step only takes a few minutes. Lastly, any excess cement will be extracted, leaving the veneer in place and returning the natural look of your teeth.

What Are The Different Types of Veneers?

There are a couple of popular types of materials used to create a dental veneer:

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers have many features that make them a practical choice. They typically require some dental work to shave down the teeth for bonding, but they have notable benefits. They reflect light more naturally, simulating the effect of tooth enamel entirely. They’re also more robust, can last longer than composite veneers, and resist teeth staining more efficiently with decent care.

IPS Empress Veneer

An IPS Empress veneer is an inclusive restoration for teeth that are more obvious when you smile. They are also tough enough to close some gaps between teeth. IPS Empress veneers are cemented to the front of teeth usually.

E-MAX Veneer

E-MAX veneers offer various advantages and features. Made from a single block of lithium disilicate ceramic, this is a top-class material known for its toughness, durability, and translucency, making it a highly prized option. This is considered to be the closest match for your natural teeth.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers can be more comfortable than porcelain options, as they’re cheaper and require fewer dentist visits. They can be created in one sitting and require less drilling and processing of your teeth. However, composite veneers are usually less hard-wearing than porcelain veneers. They will generally have to be replaced within five years of installation. They’re often more susceptible to staining and don’t always have a natural-looking toothlike translucency.

What Are The Advantages Of Having Veneers?

Veneers can significantly enhance the appearance of worn or discoloured teeth. They’re a long-lasting procedure capable of giving your teeth a renewed and natural-looking shape and color.

One of the most compelling advantages of veneers is their versatility. They’re able to correct many different dental issues:

• Repair chipped or cracked teeth
• Improve your smile’s appearance quickly
• Correct teeth discoloration
• Protect your teeth
• Cover uneven teeth, gaps, or stains
• Fix unusually shaped or sized teeth

The tremendous extra advantage is that you have a choice when deciding their color, enabling you to select one that suits the rest of your natural teeth and your skin. Porcelain veneers also have the same light-reflecting features and translucence as natural teeth to ensure that your surfaces won’t look artificial or unnatural.

How To Take Care Of My Veneers After Treatment?

Following your veneers fitting, you’ll want to have a final check-up with your dentist to evaluate how good the veneers are. Your dentist will examine how the veneers interact with your gum tissues and make any suggestions for dental hygiene in the future.

Looking after your dental veneers is generally straightforward. Here are essential tips to prolong your veneers' life:

• Practice proper oral hygiene to prevent gum disease and visit your dentist twice yearly
• Use soft toothbrushes and non-abrasive toothpaste to protect the polish and surface
