– Stained or discolored teeth that can’t be whitened by bleaching

– Worn or broken teeth

– Crooked or misshapen teeth

– Large gaps or uneven spacing between the upper front teeth

– Smaller than average teeth

Some people may get just one veneer to repair the broken or crooked tooth. But most people get veneers done in all front teeth to give them a symmetrical and uniform appearance.

There are two main types of veneers: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Porcelain veneers are made from high-quality dental porcelain that is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. They are known for their durability and natural-looking appearance, and are a popular choice for many patients.

Composite veneers, on the other hand, are made from a tooth-colored resin that is bonded directly to the teeth. They are a more affordable option than porcelain veneers and can be completed in just one visit to your dentist. However, they are not as durable as porcelain veneers and may need to be replaced more frequently

Natural Apparence: One of the main features of veneers is the similar properties of porcelain to the tooth structure and remarkable resemblance with enamel because of its optic properties. This gives the veneer a natural and realistic appearance.

Easily brighten your smile: Porcelain is ceramic, and glass-like structure makes it extremely smooth and impervious. This makes the teeth resistant to discoloration and permanent stainings like stains from coffee, wine, or cigarettes.

Color versatility: The color of porcelain can be easily altered. The required shade can be selected from the shade guide and matched with the patient’s natural teeth or can make them appear whiter.

Shaping and contouring: Compared to crowns, veneers do not need excessive shaping or contouring. The ultra-thin nature of veneers often required the least shaping of teeth and easy placement.

Improved appearance and confidence boost: Veneers can help to cover the little flaws, crooked smiles, stains or gaps in between the front teeth. Veneers significantly improve a person’s smile and help in building confidence.

High Cost: Veneers, especially porcelain are a little costlier when compared to other dental procedures. The cost of treatment increases with each unit where the veneer has to be done.

Fragile: Although veneers are quite durable, when compared to crowns, veneers are extremely thin and are more prone to chipping and fracture. They are not suitable for patients with the habit of night grinding and eating hard food items.

Sensitivity of teeth: Bonding of veneers requires removal of some enamel that could make your tooth more sensitive to hot and cold foods.

Permanent treatment: Placement of veneers requires slight cutting of enamel, it is a permanent procedure and once it is done there is no going back.

Case selection: In patients with unhealthy teeth with weak, or less enamel on the surface, extensive decay, or periodontal problems, veneers cannot be used as an option for the treatment of aesthetic corrections.
