Everyone these days is concerned about having a beautiful smile. Those who feel unhappy with their appearance often try to hide their smile. Though overcoming cosmetic dental concerns can be overwhelming, there is a solution for a myriad of problems. With dental veneers, a person’s smile imperfections can be completely covered so they are finally happy with the appearance of their teeth and can smile with confidence.
Dental veneers come in two basics types. The type used depends on the patient’s needs and how much they can afford for treatment. The most expensive option is porcelain veneers. These veneers are specifically made for the patient. Each tooth-shaped shell is adhered over each of the front teeth. The adhesive used is made specifically for dental work so it creates a strong bond.
To place porcelain veneers, the dentist at the Dental Clinic in St George UT must first prepare the patient’s teeth. This is done through the removal of a small part of the tooth tissue. Removing this tissue gives ample room for the veneer without causing any outward protrusion of the teeth. Once each veneer is in place, they can last as long as twenty years if they are cared for and maintained.
A less expensive option is available with composite type veneers. Instead of using prefabricated tooth shells, these veneers are created on the teeth by the cosmetic dentist. Using dental composite materials, the dentist places layers on the teeth. As the layers build, the dentist begins to shape them and cover the areas of cosmetic damage. Eventually, the material is polished so it shines like normal tooth tissue. This gives a natural look to the smile while covering cosmetic concerns. Though these veneers are less costly, they also do not last as long as porcelain veneers.
