Dental veneers have long been used to create the ultimate smile design. With this treatment, it’s possible to transform crooked, stained, damaged or badly worn teeth into a brand new, straight, white smile, as seen on many of the Hollywood greats.
Dental veneers are wafer-thin laminates or shells of tooth-colored material (which can be either porcelain, ceramic or composite bonding material). They are “cemented” to the front surface of teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. dentists use the analogy that dental veneers are for your teeth what false fingernails are for your hands
Stained teeth – badly stained teeth that cannot be improved by teeth whitening or white filling treatments can be greatly improved by dental veneers.
Damaged teeth – teeth that have become badly worn through grinding or by acid, as well as those that have been chipped or broken, can benefit from dental veneers. A damaged tooth can easily be repaired with a porcelain veneer that has the same appearance and feels like a natural tooth.
Gaps – spaces or gaps between your teeth can easily be closed using dental veneers, giving you a more natural-looking smile.
Crooked teeth -dental veneers placed over their front surface will give a straight and perfectly aligned-looking smile.
Patients often worry that they may not like their appearance after having veneers placed. This is never an issue at Cronin Dental Studio as your dentist will take digital photos of your teeth beforehand, and discuss with you all of your options as well as providing you with digital pictures of various shapes of veneer for you to choose from with the help of our dentists experienced eye. See examples in the images above. Furthermore, once you have selected the veneer(s) that best suits your smile, we will forward your digital photos to our premier dental laboratory along with your dental impressions and you will be provided with a very accurate customised waxed up model of how you can expect your teeth to look with veneers in place to help you make your decision.
