Tooth damage can change your personality. It affects your smile so drastically that it can smash your confidence. Don’t let a mere tooth damage do that to you. Visit your dentist right away.

Veneers are a great way to restore damaged teeth. They are thin layers of a material that is used to cover damaged teeth to protect them against further damage. Typically, the material used is porcelain.

What happens in the procedure? A clay-like material is applied on your teeth to create a mould. This mould is then used to make the perfect-fitting veneer. Your dentist may file the surface of your teeth to make space for the veneer. There are two types of veneers: prep veneers and prepless veneers. Prep veneers are the ones that require a certain amount of preparation before they can be fit onto your teeth. An example of prep veneers is the porcelain ones. As you would have guessed, prepless veneers don’t require preparation before the actual fitting. Durathin and Lumineers are examples of prepless veneers.

It may take a couple of weeks to make the right veneer for you. You should have perfect looking teeth on your second visit to the dentist.

While damaged teeth need veneers, veneers are used for aesthetic reasons as well. The good thing about them is that they can last for many years. Yes, you have got to take care of your new smile from the moment you walk out of the dental clinic. And don’t forget to visit your dentist regularly.

Happy smiling!
