Operation of Veneers - Steelecroft Dental
There are so many positive benefits to the use of veneers. They can give your smile a renewed confidence and make you look better than ever before! But what if you're wondering how best to go about using them? Here at Steelecroft Dental, we are happy to share our advice on how to use veneers. They can be used in many ways, but they require a certain set of procedures.
WHAT ARE VENEER
Is a thin layer of tooth-colored material bonded to the front of teeth. Veneers can be made from various materials and are used to improve the appearance and function of teeth.
HOW VENEER WORK
1. REMOVING TOOTH STRUCTURE
Tooth structure can vary depending on the tooth type. For example, a molar (the chewing teeth) will have a thicker enamel layer than a premolar (the small triangular teeth). By removing the unwanted tooth structure (teeth, pulp, and gum tissue), veneers can be created that fit precisely to the shade of your existing teeth.
2. REMOVING SURFACE DAMAGE
Damage to the enamel and dentin (the innermost layer) of teeth can show as white spots on the front teeth, giving them a yellowish appearance. Veneers can also remove any black stains on teeth.
3. CREATING NEW TOOTH STRUCTURE FOR FRONT TEETH
Veneers are attached to your existing teeth using a resin material called porcelain. The process of creating veneers is called 'inlays.'
