How composite resin veneers are done?

Much like bonding, the front surface of the tooth is prepared to help the composite resin stick to the enamel of the tooth. The composite resin that matches the colour of your natural teeth is chosen so that the veneer blends in with your teeth. The composite resin is built in layers. A bright light is used to harden each layer of the composite resin. After the last layer of composite resin is hardened, your dentist shapes and polishes it to form your tooth. The finished tooth looks natural and smooth.

How porcelain veneers are done?

With porcelain veneers, you may need a local anesthetic (freezing). To apply a veneer, a very small amount of the original tooth enamel must be removed, usually less than a millimeter. This is essential as it creates room for the porcelain veneer to fit within the mouth and most accurately restore natural tooth function while creating an even better appearance than the original tooth. Then a mold of your teeth is made. This mold is used to custom-make your porcelain veneers. In the meantime, temporary veneers are placed over the prepared tooth. These are worn until your porcelain veneers are ready. The temporary veneers are very fragile and need to be treated gently during eating and cleaning as they come loose very easily.

On your next visit, the temporary veneers are removed and the tooth is prepared with a special chemical to help porcelain veneers stick to your teeth better. The porcelain veneers are then glued to your teeth one by one, using composite resin cement.

Maintenance of a Porcelain Veneer

Maintaining porcelain veneers is actually quite simple: Treat them as you would your original teeth, with routine brushing and flossing. Use non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste as recommended.
If you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, you may be advised a nighttime bite guard so you do not damage your veneers.

Finally, the key to a good maintenance is to be regular with your re-care appointments to check for any signs of potential failure.

I visited Cosmetic Family Dentistry for a check up when one of my tooth was shaking so bad I thought I was going to lose this tooth. I was advised to do Laser Treatment. At first I was skeptical because I had resigned my faith to loosing the tooth. Then I decided to give it a shot. That happened to be one of the best decisions I made in life. The laser treatment worked like magic. Kudos to Dr. Rofael for a job well done.

Dear Dr. Raphael, I would like to thank you for the outstanding work you've provided me with, you're an excellent dentist and an amazing woman, you are truly one of a kind, thank you for everything.
