Some people find that they have a lot of close calls in their lives. One such instance is that during a fall or an accident, they chip or break a tooth but do not knock it out or need to have it removed.
This is a lucky break, so to speak, as it is preferred to have one’s original teeth in place for as long as possible. Even though science is very close behind, nothing can beat natural and healthy teeth that can support a person throughout their entire lives. But with chipped or broken teeth, patients may suffer needlessly from physical and emotional complications.
There is a way to conserve and protect teeth as well as present a picture perfect smile that patients can be proud to show. Porcelain veneers are a quick and easy means to cover a damaged tooth and leave a patient with a beautiful smile. They are a long lasting treatment option that can cover many other cosmetic dental concerns.
By speaking with a qualified team member at High Dental Implants Melbourne, you too can discover what the benefits will be for you if you choose to have this treatment for yourself. A dentist will go through the benefits and potential risks that you may personally face, talk you through a cost breakdown as well as the expected treatment plan for your situation.
You can choose to work with a single tooth or have an entire set of veneers over your existing teeth, otherwise known as a smile makeover. This is commonly seen on TV makeover shows and was once exclusively for the rich and famous. Many dentists are pleased to be able to offer this treatment to many of their patients.
What exactly are they?
Veneers are a very thin yet very strong piece of porcelain that is shaped like the outer edge of a tooth and is glued onto the visible front side of your teeth. It is done by removing a very thin layer of enamel in order to roughen the edges of your teeth to make for a strong bond between shell and tooth.
By using a special cement, you can expect the veneers to last up to and over 10 years until you may need to consider replacements. This treatment is for life and you will need to replace the veneer should it become loose or chipped.
Not only can a veneer cover and protect a chipped or broken tooth, but they are also used to hide badly stained teeth, as well as slightly misaligned teeth. If a person has several concerns regarding the appearance of their teeth, then this treatment is a great way to address these concerns quickly.
After only a few visits, you can expect to have picture perfect teeth ready to inspire you to confidently carve out your place in the world.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
