Dental Veneers Essex
Dental veneers are very thin laminates that are placed on the surface of teeth to correct teeth problems such as chipped teeth,worn out teeth,teeth with cavities or discoloured teeth. They are used primarily to improve the appearance of teeth. However,when used for chipped or worn out teeth,they also help to prevent further damage to the teeth. In a way, dental veneers are similar to false finger nails,only that they are worn on teeth and not nails. Dental veneers are mostly made of porcelain although sometimes they can be made of composite bonding material or ceramic. Porcelain veneers are available in any dental clinic in Essex near you. Your cosmetic dentist in a dental clinic in Essex might recommend dental veneers for the following conditions:
Stained/Discolored Teeth
Teeth suffer from the vagaries of age, just like other body parts. Aging causes teeth to get discolored. They can also get stained due to drinking certain beverages such as colas,tea,coffee ,taking certain medication or due to smoking. Although teeth bleaching and whitening can correct the problem of stained or discolored teeth,severely discolored teeth require dental veneers to cover the stains.
Chipped and Damaged Teeth
Severe trauma such as accidents or falls can lead to chipping of the teeth. People who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding)can also damage their teeth .Teeth can also get decayed due to excessive sugar consumption.
Crooked Teeth
Dental veneers are sometimes used to correct crooked teeth in cases where they are not too crooked(if they are excessively crooked,braces might be required).
Teeth With Gaps
Veneers can be used to close the gaps between teeth to give a more balanced smile. This procedure is available in an average dental clinic in Essex.
APPLICATION OF DENTAL VENEERS
When you visit your dental clinic in Essex,your cosmetic dentist will explain to you the various dental veneers available. Porcelain veneers are by far the most popular,due to a number of reasons. One of these is because they do not stain easily. Cleaning porcelain veneers is also easy and they last for a long time(if well taken care of,they can last for more than 10 years).The average dental clinic in Essex offers porcelain veneers to their patients.
The first step that a cosmetic dentist undertakes when fixing veneers is to examine your teeth to determine the extent of the damage. He will then use a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort when working on your teeth. The teeth are then reshaped to ensure that the veneers fit perfectly.
During the second stage the cosmetic dentist uses a special drill to remove the top surface of your teeth. An impression of your teeth is then taken to create custom fit veneers for you. This normally takes two weeks and you will therefore have to return to your dentist after this time. On your return visit,the cosmetic dentist will roughen the surface of your teeth before applying a special cement that will glue the veneers to your teeth. Once the veneers are fixed,they are then polished.
