Aesthetic treatment to give you the smile of a star
While everyone aspires to a perfect smile, the reality is that many people struggle with imperfections that can cause discomfort when flaunting their smile in public. If you're one of these people, dental veneers could be the ideal solution for you. These thin shells of porcelain or composite resin can simultaneously correct several aesthetic flaws in your teeth, giving you the smile you've always wanted.
A comprehensive assessment
Before proposing dental veneers, your Passion Sourire clinic dentist takes into account the patient's aesthetic needs and objectives, as well as the specific dental problems he or she wishes to correct with veneers. If the patient is a good candidate, the dentist will discuss treatment options, the benefits and limitations of dental veneers, and develop a personalized treatment plan. It is essential that the patient understands all the implications of the treatment before making an informed decision about dental veneers.
To correct a variety of problems
Dental veneers are thin, customized shells made of porcelain or composite resin. They are designed to cover the outer surface of teeth that are visible when smiling, particularly incisors and canines. They are used to correct a variety of dental problems, including :
Tooth discoloration
Veneers can mask stains and discoloration on teeth that don't respond well to tooth whitening.
Chipped or cracked teeth
Veneers can repair chipped or cracked teeth, improving their appearance and function.
Misaligned teeth
Treatment can result in better-aligned teeth and more uniform dentition, without the need for prolonged orthodontic treatment.
Gaps between teeth
They can fill gaps between teeth, which is particularly useful for slight gaps (diastemas) between teeth.
Different options for your dental veneers
When you opt for dental veneers, the process generally depends on the type of veneer you prefer. Composite veneers can be fitted in a single appointment, while porcelain veneers require two.
Composite veneers: This type of veneer involves applying a layer of composite resin directly to tooth surfaces, shaping it to the desired appearance. The resin is then cured to ensure strength. It's a more economical and less invasive option, since there's no need to prepare the teeth by removing a layer of enamel. However, composite veneers are more fragile, but can be repaired in the event of breakage.
Porcelain veneers: Porcelain veneers are more solid, and their appearance is closer to that of natural teeth. To install them, a very thin layer of tooth enamel must be removed, a step performed under local anaesthetic. Impressions are then taken, enabling the veneers to be fabricated in the laboratory. They are then installed during a subsequent appointment at the clinic. Porcelain veneers cannot be removed, and must be completely replaced if broken.
CEREC veneers: CEREC technology enables us to manufacture porcelain dental veneers with the same properties of strength and natural appearance. However, using this technology eliminates the need for an external dental laboratory, so the entire process is completed in a single appointment!
