What are Veneers Teeth?

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They can improve the appearance of your smile by changing the color, shape, size or length of your teeth. Dental veneers are also known as porcelain veneers or dental laminates.

Why choose dental veneers?

There are many reasons why people choose to have dental veneers. Some of the most common ones are:

- To cover stained or discolored teeth that cannot be whitened by other methods. This can be caused by factors such as smoking, coffee, tea, wine, medications, aging or genetics.
- To correct chipped, cracked, worn or uneven teeth that affect your bite or cause sensitivity.
- To close gaps between your teeth or align slightly crooked teeth without braces.
- To enhance your smile and boost your confidence.

Dental veneers can provide a natural-looking and durable solution for various cosmetic dental problems. They can also protect your teeth from further damage and decay. However, dental veneers are not suitable for everyone and have some limitations and risks. Therefore, it is important to consult with us before deciding to have dental veneers.

Why do people get veneers

They look natural and realistic.

Dental veneers are designed to match your natural tooth color and shape, so they blend in seamlessly with your smile. They also have a smooth and glossy surface that reflects light like enamel, giving your teeth a healthy shine.

They are stain-resistant and durable:

Dental veneers are made of high-quality materials that resist staining from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and other substances that can discolor your teeth. They also withstand normal wear and tear and can last for up to 10-15 years with proper care .

They improve your confidence and self-esteem:

Dental veneers can help you achieve a more beautiful and harmonious smile, which can boost your confidence and self-esteem. You can smile more freely and comfortably without worrying about how your teeth look.

They correct multiple cosmetic issues at once:

Dental veneers can address various cosmetic problems with your teeth in one procedure. Whether you have discolored, chipped, cracked, gapped, or crooked teeth, dental veneers can cover them up and create a more uniform appearance.

They are minimally invasive and preserve your natural teeth:

Dental veneers require minimal preparation of your natural teeth before they are applied. Your dentist will only remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. This preserves most of your natural tooth structure and reduces the risk of sensitivity or damage.

Veneers Cost

There are different types of dental veneers available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are made of high-quality ceramic material that mimics the look and feel of natural enamel. They are very durable, stain-resistant, and biocompatible, meaning they do not harm your gums or surrounding teeth. Porcelain veneers are also very esthetic, as they can blend in seamlessly with your natural tooth color and reflect light in a similar way.

Porcelain veneers are a permanent solution that requires some tooth preparation before placement. This means that a thin layer of enamel is removed from your teeth to make room for the veneers. This process is irreversible and may cause some sensitivity or discomfort. Porcelain veneers are also expensive, costing between $925 to $2500 per tooth.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are made of composite resin, a mixture of plastic and glass particles that can be shaped and bonded to your teeth. They are less expensive than porcelain veneers, costing between $250 to $1500 per tooth. They are also less invasive, as they require minimal or no tooth preparation before placement.

Composite veneers are not as durable or stain-resistant as porcelain veneers. They may chip, crack, or discolor over time, and may need to be replaced every 5 to 7 years. They also do not look as natural as porcelain veneers, as they have a more uniform and smooth texture.

Removable Veneers

Removable veneers are also known as snap-on veneers or instant veneers. They are temporary solutions that can be worn over your teeth without any preparation or bonding. They are made of plastic or resin material that can be customized to fit your teeth and desired shade.

Removable veneers are easy to use, as you can put them on and take them off whenever you want. They are also affordable, costing between $20 to $50 for instant veneers or $300 to $800 for custom-made clip-on veneers. However, removable veneers are not very realistic-looking, as they may look bulky or unnatural on your teeth. They also do not last very long, as they may wear out or break after a few months or years.

Partial Veneers

Partial veneers are a type of porcelain veneer that only covers a part of your tooth instead of the whole surface. They are usually used to fix darkened or discolored teeth that have been affected by trauma or root canal treatment. Partial veneers can preserve the incisal edge of your tooth and simplify the reproduction of the adjacent tooth characteristics.

Partial veneers are a conservative and esthetic option that can maintain the natural structure and function of your tooth. However, they are also challenging to design and place, as they require precise tooth preparation and shade matching. Partial veneers are also costly, as they use high-quality ceramic material and advanced technology.

Veneers Process

Step 1: Consultation and Treatment Planning

The first step is to consult with your dentist about your goals and expectations for the dental veneer procedure. Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to determine if you are a good candidate for veneers. They will also discuss the pros and cons of different types of veneers, such as porcelain or composite resin, and the costs and benefits of each option. Your dentist may take X-rays or impressions of your teeth to plan the treatment and design the veneers.

Step 2: Preparation of the Teeth

The second step is to prepare your teeth for the veneers. Your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surfaces of your teeth, usually about 0.5 mm, to make room for the veneers. This may require local anesthesia to numb the area and prevent discomfort. Your dentist will then make a mold or impression of your prepared teeth and send it to a dental laboratory where the veneers will be custom-made. This may take a few weeks, so your dentist may place temporary veneers on your teeth to protect them until the permanent ones are ready.

Step 3: Bonding of the Veneers

The third step is to bond the veneers to your teeth. Your dentist will check the fit and color of the veneers and make any adjustments if needed. They will then clean, polish, and etch your teeth to create a rough surface for better adhesion. Your dentist will apply a special cement to the back of each veneer and place it on your tooth, applying pressure to ensure a strong bond. They will then use a curing light to harden the cement and secure the veneer in place. Your dentist will remove any excess cement and evaluate your bite and smile. They may make some final adjustments or schedule a follow-up visit to check on your veneers.

The dental veneer procedure is a simple and effective way to enhance your smile and boost your confidence. With proper care and maintenance, your veneers can last for many years and provide you with a natural-looking and beautiful smile.

Veneers Recovery

How long does it take to recover from dental veneers?

The recovery time for dental veneers depends on several factors, such as the type of veneers you choose, the number of teeth treated, the extent of tooth preparation, and your individual healing ability. In general, you can expect to recover from dental veneers in about two weeks.

During this time, you may experience some discomfort or sensitivity in the treated teeth, especially if they were reshaped or filed down before applying the veneers. This is normal and should subside within a few days. You can use over-the-counter pain relievers or toothpaste for sensitive teeth to ease the discomfort.

You may also notice some changes in your bite or speech as you adjust to your new veneers. This is also normal and should improve as you get used to your new smile. You can practice speaking or reading aloud to help with your speech.

What can I expect during the recovery process?

The recovery process after dental veneers may vary depending on the type of veneers you get and how your dentist applies them. Here is a general timeline of what you can expect during the recovery process:

The First Week

You may feel some soreness or sensitivity in your gums and teeth after getting dental veneers. You should avoid eating hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage your veneers or cause pain. You should also avoid hot or cold drinks that could trigger sensitivity. You should brush and floss your teeth gently and rinse your mouth with warm salt water to keep your mouth clean and prevent infection.

After Two Weeks

You should notice a significant improvement in your comfort and sensitivity levels by the second week. You can resume eating and drinking normally, but you should still be careful with foods that could stain or chip your veneers, such as coffee, tea, wine, nuts, or candy. You should also avoid biting your nails, chewing on ice, or using your teeth as tools. You should continue to brush and floss your teeth regularly and visit your dentist for a follow-up checkup.

After Three Weeks

By the third week, you should be fully adjusted to your new veneers and enjoy their benefits. Your bite and speech should be normal and comfortable. Your smile should look natural and beautiful. You should maintain good oral hygiene habits and see your dentist for regular cleanings and exams.

After Four Weeks

By the fourth week, you should have completed your recovery from dental veneers. Your veneers should be stable and durable. You should follow your dentist's instructions on how to care for your veneers and protect them from damage. You should also avoid habits that could harm your natural teeth or gums, such as smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, or grinding your teeth.

After Three Months

After three months, you should have no issues with your dental veneers. They should function and feel like your natural teeth. They should also resist stains and decay better than your natural teeth. You should keep up with your oral hygiene routine and visit your dentist regularly.

After Six Months

After six months, you should still be happy with your dental veneers. They should not require any special maintenance or repairs. They should last for many years with proper care and attention. You should see your dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and evaluation of your veneers.

After One Year

After one year, you should celebrate your new smile with confidence and pride. Your dental veneers should have improved your appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life. You should continue to take good care of your oral health and enjoy your beautiful smile.

Risks and Complications

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size or length. They can improve the appearance of the teeth and smile, but they also have some risks and complications that one should be aware of before getting them. Here are some of the most common ones:

- Tooth sensitivity: Some people may experience increased sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures after getting veneers. This is because some enamel is removed from the tooth surface to make room for the veneer. Usually, this sensitivity goes away after a few days or weeks, but if it persists, one should consult their dentist.
- Damage to the veneer: Veneers are strong and durable, but they can still chip, crack or fall off due to various factors such as biting on hard foods, grinding the teeth, trauma to the mouth or poor dental hygiene. If this happens, one should not try to fix it by themselves, but rather contact their dentist as soon as possible. Depending on the extent of the damage, the veneer may need to be repaired or replaced.
- Decay of the tooth: Veneers do not protect the teeth from decay or cavities. In fact, they may increase the risk of decay if there are gaps between the veneer and the tooth or if the veneer is not properly bonded. Bacteria can accumulate in these spaces and cause infection or inflammation. Therefore, one should maintain good oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing and rinsing regularly and visit their dentist for check-ups and cleanings.
- Gum problems: Sometimes, the gums may react negatively to the veneers and cause swelling, bleeding or recession. This can affect the aesthetics and health of the teeth and gums. To prevent this, one should choose a qualified and experienced dentist who can design and fit the veneers correctly and avoid any excess cement or rough edges. One should also keep their gums healthy by brushing gently and using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Mismatched color: Veneers are custom-made to match the color and shape of the natural teeth. However, over time, they may change color due to staining from foods, drinks or smoking. Unlike natural teeth, veneers cannot be whitened with bleaching agents. Therefore, one should avoid consuming stain-causing substances or use a straw when drinking them. One should also inform their dentist if they plan to whiten their teeth before getting veneers so that they can choose a suitable shade for them.

These are some of the potential risks and complications associated with dental veneers. However, they are not very common and most people who get veneers are satisfied with the results. To minimize these risks and complications, one should follow their dentist's instructions carefully and report any problems or concerns immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Some of the benefits of dental veneers are:

- They can enhance the aesthetics of your smile by creating a uniform and natural-looking appearance.

- They can protect your teeth from further damage or decay by covering any cracks or chips.

- They can improve your oral health by correcting minor misalignments or gaps that may cause plaque buildup or bite problems.

- They can boost your confidence and self-esteem by giving you a more attractive and radiant smile.

There are two main types of dental veneers: porcelain and composite resin.

Porcelain veneers are made of thin ceramic layers that are fabricated in a dental laboratory and then bonded to your teeth. They are more durable, stain-resistant, and realistic than composite resin veneers, but they also require more preparation and cost more.

Composite resin veneers are made of tooth-colored filling material that is applied and sculpted directly on your teeth. They are less invasive, more affordable, and faster to place than porcelain veneers, but they also tend to wear down, discolor, and chip more easily.

The lifespan of dental veneers depends on several factors, such as the type of material, the quality of the placement, the care and maintenance, and the habits and lifestyle of the patient. On average, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers can last between 5 to 7 years. To extend the longevity of your veneers, you should follow these tips:

- Brush and floss your teeth regularly and visit your dentist for checkups and cleanings.

- Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, such as ice, pens, or nails.

- Avoid staining foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, wine, or berries.

- Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play contact sports.

The cost of dental veneers can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the surgery, the experience of the surgeon, and the location of the clinic. At Beauty by Eda, our dental veneers prices start from 150€ per tooth, which includes all necessary expenses such as surgeon's fees, anesthesia, and facility fees. However, to get an accurate price estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our experienced team. We can provide you with a personalized quote based on your specific needs and goals.

Getting dental veneers is usually not a painful procedure. However, some discomfort or sensitivity may occur during or after the process. To prepare your teeth for dental veneers, your dentist will need to remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surface of your teeth. This may cause some sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks for a few days. To reduce the discomfort, your dentist may apply a local anesthetic to numb your teeth and gums during the procedure. You may also take over-the-counter painkillers or use desensitizing toothpaste after the procedure. Additionally, your dentist will provide you with temporary veneers to protect your teeth until the permanent ones are ready.

Getting dental veneers usually requires two or three visits to the dentist. The first visit is for consultation and examination. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and suitability for dental veneers. They will also discuss your expectations and preferences for the shape, color and size of your veneers. They may take x-rays and impressions of your teeth to plan the treatment and design the veneers.

The second visit is for preparation and bonding. Your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth and take another impression to send to a dental laboratory where your veneers will be custom-made. They will also place temporary veneers on your teeth to protect them until the permanent ones are ready.

The third visit is for placement and adjustment. Your dentist will remove the temporary veneers and check the fit and color of the permanent ones. They will then clean, polish and etch your teeth to create a strong bond with the veneers. They will apply a special cement to attach the veneers to your teeth and use a light to harden it. They will also trim any excess cement and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and a natural appearance.

Dental veneers are durable and stain-resistant, but they are not indestructible. To maintain their appearance and function for a long time, you should take good care of them as well as your natural teeth. Here are some tips on how to care for your dental veneers:

- Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

- Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under your gums.

- Rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash to prevent bad breath and gum disease.

- Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.

- Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects such as ice, pens or nails that can chip or crack your veneers.

- Limit your intake of foods and drinks that can stain your teeth such as coffee, tea, wine or berries.

- Wear a mouthguard if you play contact sports or grind your teeth at night.

Not everyone is a good candidate for dental veneers. You need to have healthy teeth and gums, enough enamel on your teeth, and a stable bite. You also need to be committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Some conditions that may prevent you from getting dental veneers are:

- Severe tooth decay or damage that requires a crown or root canal treatment

- Active gum disease or infection that needs to be treated first

- Bruxism or teeth grinding that can wear down or fracture the veneers

- Misaligned teeth that need orthodontic treatment to correct the bite

- Thin or weak enamel that cannot support the veneers

Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and your cosmetic goals to determine if dental veneers are right for you.

Dental veneers are generally durable and long-lasting, but they are not indestructible. Some potential problems that may occur with dental veneers are:

- Chipping or cracking of the veneer due to trauma, biting hard foods, or using your teeth as tools

- Discoloration or staining of the veneer over time due to exposure to coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or other substances

- Detachment or loosening of the veneer due to poor bonding, decay underneath the veneer, or excessive force on the tooth

- Sensitivity or discomfort of the tooth or gum due to improper fit, rough edges, or inflammation of the nerve

- Damage to the natural tooth underneath the veneer due to decay, erosion, or infection

To prevent these problems, you should follow your dentist's instructions on how to care for your dental veneers. You should also avoid habits that can damage your veneers, such as biting your nails, chewing ice, or opening packages with your teeth. You should also visit your dentist regularly for cleaning and examination of your veneers.

Gum disease is a condition that affects the tissues that support your teeth. It can cause inflammation, bleeding, recession, and infection of the gums. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health problems. Therefore, it is important to treat gum disease before getting dental veneers.

Dental veneers require healthy gums that can provide a stable base for the veneers and prevent them from shifting or falling off. Gum disease can compromise the health and appearance of your gums and affect the outcome of your dental veneers. Gum disease can also make it more difficult to prepare your teeth for dental veneers and increase the risk of complications during and after the procedure.

If you have gum disease, you should consult with your dentist about the best treatment options for your condition. You may need to undergo scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, or surgical intervention to eliminate the infection and restore your gum health. Once your gums are healthy and stable, you may be able to proceed with dental veneers.

Cavities are holes in your teeth caused by bacteria that feed on sugar and produce acid that erodes your enamel. Cavities can cause pain, sensitivity, infection, and tooth loss if left untreated. Therefore, it is essential to treat cavities before getting dental veneers.

Dental veneers require healthy teeth that can support the veneers and prevent them from breaking or falling off. Cavities can weaken your teeth and make them more prone to decay and damage. Cavities can also interfere with the bonding process of the veneers and increase the risk of infection underneath the veneers.

If you have cavities, you should consult with your dentist about the best treatment options for your condition. You may need to undergo filling, inlay, onlay, or crown to restore your tooth structure and function. Once your teeth are healthy and free of decay, you may be able to proceed with dental veneers.

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance and function. They can correct issues such as chips, cracks, stains, gaps, or misalignment. However, if you have sensitive teeth, you may wonder if dental veneers are a suitable option for you.

The answer is that it depends on the cause and severity of your tooth sensitivity. Some common causes of tooth sensitivity are:

- Worn enamel due to brushing too hard, grinding your teeth, or acid erosion

- Exposed dentin due to receding gums, gum disease, or tooth decay

- Cracked or fractured teeth that allow bacteria and fluids to enter the pulp

- Damaged or infected pulp that causes inflammation and pressure inside the tooth

If your tooth sensitivity is mild and caused by worn enamel or exposed dentin, dental veneers may actually help reduce your sensitivity by covering the affected areas and protecting them from further damage. However, you may experience some temporary sensitivity during and after the veneer placement process, as your teeth will need to be prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel and etching the surface with acid. This can make your teeth more vulnerable to temperature changes and pressure until the veneers are bonded. Your dentist may recommend using a desensitizing toothpaste or gel before and after the procedure to minimize your discomfort.

If your tooth sensitivity is severe and caused by cracked or fractured teeth or damaged or infected pulp, dental veneers may not be a good option for you. In these cases, you may need more extensive treatment to address the underlying problem, such as root canal therapy, dental crowns, or extraction. Placing veneers over these teeth may not only fail to relieve your sensitivity, but also worsen it by adding more stress and irritation to the already compromised tooth structure. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine the best course of action for your situation.

Finding a qualified provider for dental veneers is important because it ensures that you receive the best possible care and results. A qualified provider will have the necessary training and experience to perform the procedure safely and effectively.

When looking for a qualified provider for dental veneers, you should consider factors such as their education, training, experience, and reputation. You can start by asking your dentist for a referral or searching online for providers in your area.

Depending on your specific needs and goals, you may have other options besides dental veneers. For example, if you only want to whiten your teeth, you may opt for professional teeth whitening or over-the-counter products. If you have minor chips or cracks, you may consider dental bonding or contouring. If you have severely damaged or decayed teeth, you may need crowns or implants. If you have misaligned teeth, you may benefit from braces or clear aligners. Your dentist can help you decide which option is best for you based on your oral health and budget.

After getting dental veneers, you should take good care of them to ensure their longevity and durability. You should avoid biting or chewing on hard objects such as ice, pens, or nails, as they may damage your veneers. You should also avoid staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, wine, or berries, as they may discolor your veneers over time. You should also avoid smoking or tobacco products, as they can harm your oral health and affect the appearance of your veneers. You should brush and floss your teeth regularly and visit your dentist for check-ups and cleanings.

No, you cannot whiten your teeth after getting dental veneers. This is because dental veneers are resistant to stains and bleaching agents and will not change color with whitening treatments. If you whiten your teeth after getting veneers, you may end up with uneven shades between your natural teeth and your veneers. Therefore, it is advisable to whiten your teeth before getting veneers if you want a brighter smile. You can also choose the shade of your veneers to match your desired tooth color.

Dental veneers are not suitable for everyone. You need to have healthy teeth and gums to qualify for dental veneers. If you have tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral problems, you need to treat them first before getting veneers. You also need to have enough enamel on your teeth to support the veneers. If you have thin or worn-out enamel, you may not be a good candidate for veneers. Additionally, you need to have realistic expectations and goals for your smile makeover. Dental veneers can enhance your smile but they cannot fix every flaw or issue. You should consult with your dentist to determine if dental veneers are right for you.
