Dental Problems Are No More To Worry About!

Are you shy of flashing your teeth in the public because of teeth or dental problems? Prosthodontic care is your go-to solution. Dentists often use a particular analogy that veneers are made for teeth just as false fingernails are meant for hands. So, what are veneers?

Fundamentally, perfect smile veneers are made of customised shells cemented to your teeth’s front for altering their appearance immediately. They are meant for hiding the flaws that are apparent on your original teeth. They are made of resin or ceramic composite materials. The perfect smile veneers are a very elegant way for achieving a straighter, whiter and brighter smiles that is ever-lasting. 

Purposes of using veneers:

• Stained, yellow or discoloured teeth

• Broken, chipped or damaged teeth

• Gaps or uneven spaces between teeth

• Misaligned or crooked teeth. 

How are the veneers fitted?

The veneers are fitted to the front portion of the teeth. The colour could be matched according to the teeth and also for adjusting the size and shape. Ceramic veneers are more stain resistant than veneers made of resin. They can also mimic a natural teeth’s light-reflecting properties better. It can be done in three steps:

Step 1: Diagnosing followed by treatment planning- During this stage, the dentists takes x-rays and makes an impression of the teeth and mouth for fully examining the unique situation. The dentist can also give advice for a ‘Digital Smile Design’.

Step 2: Preparation- An approximately 0.3 mm layer needs to be removed from the surface of the teeth. This is replaced with a resin/ ceramic veneer having same thickness. 

Step 3: Bonding- The veneer is temporarily placed over the tooth for examining its shape, size and colour. Next, the teeth are polished and cleaned for allowing stronger bonding process. 

Low cost single tooth replacement:

There are generally three methods for replacing a tooth that is missing. These include:

• Providing removable denture.

• Placing one conventional bridge on teeth on the gap’s either side.

• Placing implant-retained crown. 
  

Introducing dental implants in the world of dentistry has made missing teeth replacement very evolved in the bygone 20 years. A dentist who is specialised in maxillofacial surgery and oral surgery would undertake implant surgery and graft surgery. The current treatment plans are patient-centred and dependent on several aspects including teeth condition on missing tooth’s either side, patient wishes and bone levels that are existing.
