A warm welcome to Delta Park Dentalâyour one-stop dental clinic for high-quality dental treatments designed to rejuvenate the appearance of teeth and enhance overall oral health. One of our most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures is dental veneers, an elegant and conservative approach to addressing a variety of cosmetic flaws, including misaligned teeth, misshapen teeth, stained teeth, and more.
Understanding Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin layers of tooth-coloured materials, such as porcelain material or composite resin, that are bonded to the surface of teeth to mask imperfections. Whether you have minor damage, discoloured teeth, crooked teeth, or gaps between teeth, veneers can provide an immediate boost to your smile by enhancing the overall appearance of your real teeth.
Veneers work by covering the original teeth and creating a fresh cosmetic surface that mirrors natural tooth enamel. Though commonly used as a cosmetic procedure, they can sometimes be a functional solution for broken teeth or slightly damaged teeth that still have enough healthy teeth structure. By addressing various cosmetic concerns, aesthetic imperfections, and other dental issues, veneers can be part of comprehensive treatment options to achieve a beautiful smile with minimal intervention.
The Dental Veneer Procedure
Undergoing the dental veneer procedure at Delta Park Dental generally involves several steps. While the exact process may vary slightly based on the type of veneer (e.g., traditional veneers vs. no-prep veneers), the general sequence remains consistent.
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey starts with an appointment at our dentist office.
- Oral Examination: We assess your dental history, current dental health, and specific cosmetic issues (like misshapen teeth or discoloured teeth) to confirm you are a good candidate for veneers.
- Treatment Plan: Next, we discuss your concerns and create a treatment plan tailored to your cosmetic dentistry goals. We may also talk about insurance providers, insurance plans, and possible dental insurance coverage.
- Active Role: We encourage you to take an active role in discussing your desired cosmetic appearance, including the shade and shape you want for your veneers.
2. Tooth Preparation
For traditional porcelain veneers, a small amount of tooth enamel is removed to make room for the placement of veneers.
- Prepared Tooth: The surface treatment protocols involve removing up to half a millimeter of your tooth structure to ensure the veneers fit properly and appear natural.
- Conservative Approach: In contrast, no-prep veneers or partial veneers remove minimal or no enamel, preserving as much of the original teeth as possible.
- Temporary Veneers: In many cases, temporary veneers may be placed to protect the prepared surface until your permanent veneers are ready from the dental laboratoryâa process that can take 1-2 weeks or even 2-4 weeks depending on your geographical location.
3. Application of Veneers
Once your custom-fit porcelain veneers or composite veneers are prepared, the placement process follows.
- Bonding Agent: A bonding substance or dental glue (often a special bonding cement) is applied to the tooth surface to ensure a secure bonding process.
- Alignment & Fit: Our dental professional checks the shape of teeth and the alignment to ensure they match the surrounding adjacent teeth and yield a symmetrical smile.
- Hardening with Light: A special light or bright light is used to harden the composite resin or to finalize the application of porcelain veneers, resulting in a finished tooth that fits seamlessly.
Types of Veneers
Different types of veneers are available, each tailored to suit specific cosmetic tooth concerns, budgets, and desired outcomes. During the treatment planning phase, our dentist will recommend the type of veneer that best meets your needs.
1. Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are arguably the most popular. They are often called Traditional porcelain veneers or porcelain dental restorations. Porcelain features excellent optical properties, mimicking the translucency of natural teeth. Because of their superior physical properties and mechanical properties, they are highly durable and resistant to staining from dark-colored foods or beverages.
- High-Quality Dental Material: Made of ceramic material, these aesthetic veneers offer a long-term solution for discolored teeth, stained teeth, and minor damage to teeth.
- Custom-Fit Porcelain Veneers: The dental laboratory crafts each veneer to match the colour of porcelain veneers to your existing tooth enamel, ensuring a symmetrical smile.
- Cost of Porcelain Veneers: While they can be an expensive option, the costly process is often justified by their longevity and seamless integration with neighbouring tooth structures.
2. Composite Resin Veneers
Composite resin veneers (often referred to as resin-based composite veneers or composite veneers) are made of a composite material applied directly to the tooth surface.
- Affordable Solution: They tend to be more budget-friendly compared to porcelain veneers, making them a desirable choice for patients concerned about insurance coverage or the average cost of cosmetic dentistry.
- Bonding Process: A resin composite or composite resin cement is molded onto the prepared tooth, hardened with a special light beam (like a bright light or UV light), and shaped to create a finished tooth.
- Less Enamel Removal: Composite veneers typically require removing smaller amounts of enamel than porcelain, making it a more conservative treatment in some cases.
3. No-Prep Veneers
No-prep veneersâsometimes written as â-prep veneersâârequire minimal or no tooth preparation.
- Minimal Invasion: Since the hard-outer layer of your tooth enamel is mostly preserved, these veneers generally require less or zero drilling.
- Candidate for Veneers: No-prep veneers (like certain Ceramic veneers and âpop-on veneersâ) may be ideal for those with sufficient tooth structure and fewer dental flaws. However, they are not suitable for everyone, especially if you have significantly misaligned teeth, deep overbites, or unhealthy teeth.
4. Removable Veneers
Removable veneers, also known as âTemporary veneersâ or âpop-on veneers,â are a type of cosmetic device that you can wear over your original teeth without permanently altering them.
- Custom Veneers: Created after an oral examination and manufacturing process by a dental laboratory or specialized facility, these acrylic veneers can address certain cosmetic concerns like minor gaps between teeth.
- Ease of Use: They can be taken in and out at will, which makes them more versatile but less durable. They are not a long-term solution if you want permanent changes or are dealing with more serious dental issues.
