Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?

Protection is the primary motive behind dental veneers, as their ‘shield’ against all kinds of tooth decay. As teeth get deteriorated with time, mostly becoming subject to weakening and decay, this protection adds to their long-term security. Moreover, chewing/eating becomes less harmful as this serving protection reduces tooth damage and decay by a very large margin.

Furthermore, in order to sustain the development of teeth, that may be eroded if not taken care of, porcelain veneers help resolve that concern. As bone/teeth decay can be rapid and disrupt natural growth of teeth, its important that it should be given tangible protection at all costs, since natural teeth should be sustained to the highest point maximum. These also act as protection barriers and give a sense of added responsibility for taking that extra mile when it comes to taking care of your own teeth.

Firstly, the dental checkups take place for patients that occur on a regular basis. The dentist diagnosis a certain problem where tooth decay is a problem, indicated through teeth damage or change of color. This is a sign that proper and immediate care is required. Moreover, self-diagnosis can also take place where the patient identifies rapid tooth decay, or the teeth being chipped off, which is a sign of weakening, therefore, instant care and attention is required. Porcelain veneers are then chosen as treatment, and after their application process, the tooth decay stops entirely as high levels of protection is granted as a result of the treatment, which is then successful.

Then, after examining the tooth, and taking measurements of size and other physical characteristics, a model is created for veneer development. This model replicates and incorporates the measurements recorded, and then after a couple of weeks, the veneer is finalized for attachment.

Cleaning takes place for excess liquid, and the process reaches completion. It is advised to stay away from chewy, hard foods after the process as the veneers may get affected, if not the tooth that is being protected by it.
