Every person wants to look beautiful and presentable in the eyes of others. What people look at in the first place is a beaming smile and white teeth. High technologies in aesthetic dentistry has went a step further and is now replacing bulky crowns with veneers. Veneers in Tuscaloosa are made of ceramic, composite or porcelain, with a thickness of 0.2-0.8 mm. They cover the front surface of the teeth, thereby changing their appearance beyond recognition.
Veneers are used to restore enamel defects (from tetracycline, teeth darkened by improper treatment, etc.), correct the shape of teeth, remove chips, as well as to hide old fillings, which differ from the color of original teeth. Veneers do not differ from real teeth because the colors are chosen based on the patient’s teeth and, of course, dentists take into account the wishes of the patient.
Creating a perfect smile occurs in 3 stages:
- Dentist takes impressions of the patient’s teeth and sends it to the laboratory to simulate the future teeth.
- The enamel is removed and the veneer is created by a plastic or a composite model. The “real veneers” are under development.
- The final step is the fitting and cementation of finished veneers on the teeth.
Variety of veneers
There are two types of Veneers in Tuscaloosa: direct and indirect. Direct veneers are put on the patient’s teeth in a single visit, while indirect are made in the laboratory. The difference is not only in the setting of veneers, but in the fact that the cost of indirect veneers will be much more. Direct veneers are made from a special composite or filling material.
Ceramic veneers are the best physically and aesthetically, and the explanation for this is quite simple – it can withstand temperatures over a 1000 degrees. When installing composite veneers you cannot grind the whole tooth, as it may damage parts of it. And if you want to do a little redecorating, for example to remove the gap between the teeth, then this is where you should turn to. Direct composite veneers can restore and change the color and shape of your teeth. The main advantage of composite veneers is that they are made much faster and can be immediately corrected.
