Veneer: An Amazing Technique For Teeth Whitening

Author : Alice Campbell


         


Teeth whitening procedure in cosmetic dentistry is the most wonderful thing that has happened to present us a beautiful smile. We often lose the whiteness of our teeth due to a number or reasons. Smoking, drinking tea or coffee/cola, food, aging, etc. discolor our teeth. Number of times we develop chips or deep spots on the tooth that make our smile quite unattractive. Cosmetic dentistry procedures like veneer take care of all our problems regarding the look of our teeth.

Teeth whitening can be a simple process if the stains are not too strong. You can use home bleaching procedures or visit your dentist for laser bleaching. But often things are not that simple. There can be deep stains or small hole on the tooth that needs fixing or alteration of the shape of your tooth. This is where veneers come in.

This process is essentially done in the dentist's office. It is extremely important to take full information on the dentist before you start with the procedure. Veneer can be done only under the supervision of an expert dentist.

Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain strips which the cosmetic dentist will bond over the teeth to give it a whole new look. Veneers are made to duplicate our natural teeth color and texture so that it should not stand out from our natural teeth after the treatment.

Teeth whitening with veneer needs some preparation from the dentist. A tiny portion of the tooth is removed to give the porcelain strip the space. Then the impression of the tooth is taken by the dentist. This impression is used to create the customized veneer for your teeth in the laboratory. Next, the special veneer prepared for the patient will be placed over the tooth. A special glue is applied on the surface of the tooth and the veneer is placed on it. To make the veneer hard and durable a laser beam is applied to bond it with the tooth. Veneering will take only two to three visits to the cosmetic dentist.

You need to take care of your veneer after the procedure. You should maintain your oral hygiene. You need to floss and brush your teeth well. Teeth whitening with veneers last longer than bonding. It is stronger too, as porcelain is harder than bonding paste. You should avoid too much of tea, coffee or foods that stain the teeth. Also, you should not grind your teeth or bite into hard things. This will damage the veneer covering. If the veneer is damaged or broken it cannot be repaired. You will need to get a new veneering done.

In teeth whitening procedures veering is generally done to the teeth which show when we smile. It can be done to both sets of teeth, upper and lower. It is easy for the dentist to match the color of the teeth to the porcelain veneer. Since they are made of porcelain veneers match the glassy exterior of a normal teeth. As a normal teeth reflects light veneered teeth too does the same.
