PROCELAIN VENEERS
The veneer is a very thin layer of porcelain that is custom made and permanently attached to your tooth.
The veneer is much thinner than a crown and our dentist only needs to remove a small amount of the tooth surface. We will match the porcelain to your existing teeth so it will blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
There are numerous reasons; we would recommend porcelain veneers to improve the look of your teeth like :
- Chipped tooth due to sports injury or accident.
- Gaps in between front teeth.
- Discolored front teeth.
- After root canal treatment in some special cases.
What’s the difference between a porcelain veneer and a crown?
Both are made from porcelain however; a crown is used to cover the entire tooth while a veneer is just attached to the front of the tooth. The veneer is much thinner than a crown and the dentist only needs to remove a small amount of the tooth. With a crown, the dentist must remove more of the tooth enamel.
Lucky are the ones who are blessed with beautiful pearly whites and a healthy smile.
But each person has a basic right to healthy and perfect dentition.
This young female patient wasn’t amongst the lucky ones when it came to her front teeth.
Her front teeth were smaller in size. Two of her front teeth had interchanged their position giving her a smile she wasn’t happy about.
We, at Studio Dentale gave her Porcelain veneers for upper front teeth.
We could not only correct the shape of the teeth but also choose the color shade most suitable for her.
She was extremely happy with her New smile.
