Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Veneers

What are Veneers and what do you need to know before getting them? Dental Veneers are a common Cosmetic Dental Treatment that can enhance and transform smiles. In this article, we will cover everything you should know before you get Veneer Treatment.

What Are Veneers?

Dental Veneers are an effective and modern Cosmetic Dental Treatment that is used to enhance the aesthetic of a smile. Dental Veneers are thin Dental Restorations that are permanently bonded to the surface of a tooth. Dental Veneers help to reshape, whiten and balance the appearance of teeth for a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

The two most common materials used for Dental Veneers are Porcelain and Composite (Resin). The best Veneers material for you will depend on the quality you are after and your budget.

Porcelain Veneers are much higher quality and longer lasting than Composite Veneers. The high-quality Porcelain Veneers at Brisbane Smiles can last up to 20 years when combined with proper oral health care.

What Are Composite Veneers?

Composite Veneers, also known as Resin Veneers, are made from Resin material. Composite Veneers typically will not last as long as Porcelain Veneers as the material is not as strong.

Resin Veneers are usually a shorter-term solution than Porcelain Veneers and are often selected due to budget restraints. With the right Veneers Treatment and proper Oral Health Care, Brisbane Smiles’ Resin Veneers can last over 5 years.

What Are the Benefits of Veneers?

There are many cosmetic and functional benefits of Dental Veneers, should Veneers Treatment be right for your condition. Many patients are now opting for Veneer Treatment instead of lengthy orthodontic treatment, and to achieve the smile of their dreams. Porcelain Veneers can be used to correct:

Dental Veneers Aftercare Tips

Properly Clean Your Veneers

To properly clean and care for Veneers, use a soft toothbrush to thoroughly clean the teeth. You can also add a fluoride rinse and fluoride toothpaste or gel to your cleaning regimen. Gently floss between the Veneers once or twice a day. An Electric Toothbrush with a pressure sensor will help to avoid brushing too hard and damaging the gums around your Veneers.

Regularly Visit the Dentist

Your Dentist will provide you with an aftercare plan, which will involve routine Dental Check Up and Clean appointments once every six months. This is vital to ensure the longevity of your Dental Veneer Treatment by removing plaque and tartar and monitoring your Oral Health.

Avoid Harmful Foods

With Dental Veneers, you can eat most regular food. Although, we recommend avoiding chewing your fingernails, biting into hard objects and crunching on ice cubes.
