Despite the many efforts that are being made to promote good dental health, many people still end up with dental health issues. The commonest dental health problems include stained teeth, chipped teeth, broken and discolored teeth. When you have any of these problems, it is very difficult to smile or talk confidently in public. Here are a few things that you need to know about getting veneers in Keizer OR.
What are veneers?
These are wafer thin and custom-made shells that are used to cover the surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are normally made from either porcelain or resin. Porcelain veneers are great because they are better at resisting stains. On the other hand, resin veneers are able to mimic the light reflecting properties of real teeth better than porcelain veneers. Resin veneers are also thinner and this means that less of the natural tooth will have to be removed to install them. When you decide to get veneers in Keizer OR, your dentist will help you decide on the best veneer material.
What do veneers fix?
The common problems that veneers in Keizer OR fix include:
* Teeth that are discolored as a result of root canal treatments, drugs like tetracycline, or excessive fluoride
* Worn down teeth
* Broken and chipped teeth
* Teeth that have irregularities such as craters or bulges in them
* Teeth that have many gaps between them
Getting veneers
The first step of getting the veneers will involve you explaining to the dentist what you want to achieve. The dentist will examine your teeth to see if veneers are appropriate. To install the veneer, the dentist will need to remove at least half a millimeter of enamel from the tooth. A local anesthetic may be administered during this procedure. The dentist will then make impressions of the teeth. These will be used to make the veneers. On the next visit, the dentist will bond the veneers with your permanent teeth. The result will be a beautiful smile.
Veneers improve the way your teeth look while at the same time strengthening the tooth.
