Should I Get Veneers?
4 Possible Reasons Why You Should
Well there are a wide variety of reasons why you might opt for treatment with dental veneers:
- Discoloured Teeth– Veneers can cover stained teeth that won’t respond to whitening treatments.
- Damaged Teeth– Your teeth maybe damaged for a number of reasons, excessive grinding for example. Veneers can also correct the appearance of chipped or broken teeth. You can also use them for teeth where the enamel has been damaged or a replacement to stop any further damage to the tooth underneath.
- Gaps-Spaces between your teeth can easily be closed using veneers, giving you a more uniform-looking smile, making you feel happier.
- Crooked Teeth– There are only a few cases using Veneers for crooked teeth. If your teeth are not severely crooked you can use Veneers to give the appearance of a perfectly straight smile. Win – win.
So Which Are Better, Composite Veneers or Porcelain Veneers?
First, both composite and porcelain veneers have their merits. Porcelain gives you the most natural look as it has a colour similar to natural teeth. Composite veneers can be placed in just one appointment and require less preparation on your tooth surface, thus saving you time.
Furthermore, as with any treatment here at Advance Dental we will always look at what the best options are for your smile so you can decide what it is you want and to give you the very best result.

What Is The Procedure Of Having Dental Veneers Fitted?
The Advance Dental 7 Step Process…
- Once you are ready to go ahead with treatment your teeth need to be prepared for your new veneers.
- A tiny part of your front teeth will be removed; it will be the same amount as the thickness of your veneers so that they sit perfectly in your smile.
- After that has been done an impression of your teeth will be taken. This then goes to the dental laboratory so that they can make your veneers to fit your teeth exactly.
- While all of this is happening you will have some temporary veneers placed on your teeth to protect the prepared surface of the teeth underneath.
- And when your new veneers are ready you will come back into the practice to have them fitted. First they will just be placed over your teeth so that you can ensure that you are happy with their appearance. Make sense so far?
- Then once you are happy your teeth are thoroughly cleaned and the front surface will be roughened so that they provide a good surface for the bonding material between your tooth and the veneer to stick to.
- Next a curing light is used to activate the bonding cement so that it permanently bonds your tooth and veneer, once this has been done you will be left with a beautiful and natural looking new smile.
