Veneers are considered to be one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available because of how many different problems in the mouth they can treat. They are a great solution for keeping damaged teeth from deteriorating further and needing more complicated treatments. To get a veneer, you only need two appointments with our dental veneers Oshawa dentist at Harmony Dental Care in Oshawa, ON.
What Problems Can Veneers Treat?
Veneers are a very versatile treatment that can be used for both minor and more extensive damage to teeth. They are great for covering up cracks and chips. They can also be great for changing the color of a tooth that’s been stained from either genetics, smoking, medication use, or diet. They are also used sometimes for changing the shape of a tooth. You can lengthen a tooth that’s too short or that has been worn down. They can help fix the look of uneven teeth. They can also fill the gaps between teeth rather than having to use orthodontics.
Benefits of Veneers
One of the great things about veneers is how natural they look. Nobody will know that you have had any treatment done to your teeth. Besides that, they only require removing a small amount of tooth structure. This is different from other options, such as dental crowns.
The Procedure
Before getting a veneer, you will need to sit through a consultation at Harmony Dental Care. During this consult, we will check the condition of your teeth and the rest of your oral health. This is to make sure that veneers are a good option for you. Remember that they are an irreversible decision, so we want to make sure you know all about the procedure and know about any alternatives.
Once you’ve decided that a dental veneer is the right option for you, we will begin prepping your tooth. You’ll receive a local anesthetic, and then the surface of your tooth will be removed. Then an impression will be made, and the right color will be chosen for the veneer. This is then sent to a dental lab. You will return for your second appointment when the veneer is finished being created. It will be bonded to your tooth and then adjusted if necessary.
