An Overview of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic bonded to the front of your teeth. They can improve the appearance of gaps, chips, cracks, discolouration, and misalignment in teeth. The layers of translucent, all-ceramic porcelain allow light to shine through, reflecting off the opaque tooth dentin below the surface and giving the appearance of brighter, natural-looking teeth. Using porcelain veneers at our Perth practice near Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland, we can remake your smile in just a few appointments.
Preparing for Porcelain Veneers
During your initial consultation for porcelain veneers at our practice near Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland, you will discuss your aesthetic goals for correcting and improving your smile with our qualified cosmetic dentist, Dr. Elaine Halley. She will design the specifications for your new teeth, including instructions for the lab regarding the shape, colour, and translucency of your new veneers. Dr. Halley will also tell you what to expect over the next few appointments.
During the second appointment, Dr. Halley will prep your teeth for your new porcelain veneers. Doing so requires buffing off about a half-millimeter of tooth enamel to adjust for the added thickness of the veneers. After your teeth have been prepared, we will take a mold of your mouth to send to the laboratory, where they will craft your porcelain veneers to match your teeth. We will also bond temporary veneers to your teeth so that you can get used to the new shape of your teeth while your permanent porcelain veneers are prepared.
Placing Your Porcelain Veneers
After two or three weeks, your porcelain veneers will be ready and you will return to our Perth practice, convenient to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland. If you are satisfied with the color and shape of your veneers, they will be permanently cemented to your teeth.
After the Procedure
After your porcelain veneers have been permanently affixed to your teeth, you can care for them much as you would your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing will maintain them over time. It should take several weeks for you to adjust to the new feel of your teeth, but before long, they will feel natural.
Porcelain veneers are not the only option for restoring broken, chipped, or discoloured teeth. There are other cosmetic dentistry alternatives to consider as well. Like porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, composite bonding, and teeth whitening can all improve the aesthetics of your smile.
