It is a painless and noninvasive treatment that the medical team at the Savasta practice is able to implement with professionalism and seriousness toward the patient.
Materials chosen for aesthetic dental veneers
Among the biocompatible materials available for veneers is composite, it turns out to be more durable than ceramic and porcelain, however, this material can vary in color over time, also there is a marginal possibility of customization in terms of color choice.
Their price is found to be lower than veneers made of ceramic or porcelain, and this is undoubtedly a virtue that can be counted against composite veneers.
These veneers are made of porcelain, are thin, have great strength and excellent aesthetics while also allowing for extensive customization to the patient.
They are applied directly to the patient's dental elements, it all happens in two sessions, in the first session impressions of the dental elements are taken, and in the second session the application takes place.
How are veneers applied?
The medical team at the Savasta office, after examining the patient and making the necessary assessments, will file down the dental elements on which the veneers will then be applied.
Then an impression will be taken BY DIGITAL SCANNER that will be used in the design of the veneers, temporary veneers will then be placed, and the appropriate color for the final veneers will be chosen.
The dentist will have to file down the dental elements, the filing will be done under local anesthesia, the procedure takes about half an hour, after filing, an impression is taken and sent to the laboratory, which will make the final veneers.
Before the final veneers are placed on the patient, temporary ones should be put on; when the laboratory provides the final veneers, the temporary ones will be replaced.
What is the durability of cosmetic dental veneers?
One has to take into account the material from which they were made and how the patient maintains them to make an estimate on their durability.
In the case of trauma or breakage, it is in any case possible to restore or replace them, thus ensuring a remarkable longevity for aesthetic dental veneers.
What problems do they solve
Cosmetic dental veneers go to solve many problems including:
- Dental misalignment i.e., the presence of dental elements that are misaligned with each other
- Dyschromiae that cannot be resolved by laser-performed bleaching
- Color alteration such as tooth yellowing that may be accentuated by coffee and cigarette consumption
- Corrosion of dental enamel
- Diastema i.e., the excessive space between teeth that is a source of great discomfort for the patient
- Fractures to the dental elements that compromise the aesthetics and functionality of the smile
For whom cosmetic dental veneers are not suitable
They are not indicated for those suffering from bruxism and pyorrhea because the filing required in the application of cosmetic dental veneers could place undue stress on the already weakened tooth elements, which would be at risk of breaking.
Patients should also be aware that filing is an irreversible process and can cause tooth sensitivity as it involves the removal of even a small portion of enamel.
If you plan to use cosmetic dental veneers, contact the medical team at the Savasta office, who, after examining you and taking an interest in your medical history, will assess whether this is the best option for you and, if so, will schedule an appointment to begin the process for placing cosmetic dental veneers.
The procedure will be performed professionally and with maximum patient safety.
