It’s a fact: We weren’t all born with perfect teeth. If you enjoy good dental health, but your smile isn’t all that it could be, porcelain veneers might be just what you need to take your smile from so-so to sensational.
This popular cosmetic dentistry option can dramatically transform your smile in just a couple of visits to our Paddington, NSW dental clinic.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. They are custom-made in the laboratory to address specific issues with your smile. These tooth covers, which are a mere 0.3 to 0.5 millimetres thick, look completely natural and cover up flaws.
One of the benefits of veneers is that it can give you a whole new smile in just a couple of visits to the dentist. Once our dentists determine that your oral health is well-suited for this cosmetic procedure, you will discuss the goals for your smile. The teeth will need to be prepared for the veneers, so a small amount of the tooth enamel is removed. This ensures that your teeth don’t have a thick look to them once the veneers are placed.
After the lab creates veneers custom-made to correct your smile, you will return to our clinic so they can be permanently bonded into place. Our Paddington, NSW dentist will make adjustments as needed, including making sure that you can bite down comfortably.
Schedule a booking for a consult with one of our Paddington, NSW dentists to find out if your smile imperfections can be covered up with dental veneers.
The tooth-coloured porcelain from which veneers are made mimics the translucency of your natural teeth, giving veneers a very natural look.
Because veneers are resistant to staining, you won’t have to worry about whitening your teeth in the future; your smile will remain white as long as you have your veneers.
People in Paddington, NSW will only notice your celebrity teeth when you smile not your veneers.
If you feel self-conscious about your smile because of imperfections, or if you have dreamed of having a smile makeover, you might be a good candidate for veneers in Paddington, NSW.
Veneers are an ultra-thin layer of porcelain that fits over your tooth to cover up cosmetic imperfections, such as:
Basically, veneers can camouflage the issues you don’t like about your smile, giving you a lovely straight, even, white smile. Many celebrities who have perfect teeth that you admire more than likely had help from their dentist to achieve that look and many have probably had dental veneers.
Because some of the surface of the tooth needs to be removed to make room for the veneers and to avoid a look that is ‘thick,’ veneers to fix teeth at our Paddington, NSW dental clinic are considered a permanent cosmetic dentistry treatment. Most people can expect their veneers to last for 10 to 15 years if they take good care of them. Diligent home care and routine dental check-ups and cleans will help ensure your veneers last as long as possible.
Caring for your veneers is not very different than caring for your regular teeth. Just brush and floss as you normally would, and be sure to visit your Paddington, NSW dentist twice a year for check-ups and cleans to keep gums, teeth and veneers healthy.
Just as your natural teeth can chip if you bite into something hard, so too can your veneers. Be careful when biting into foods such as carrots, apples or crusty bread, or break them up into smaller bite-sized pieces. You may also wish to avoid sticky or chewy sweets or foods that could pull a veneer off your tooth.
Because veneers are resistant to staining, there is no need to use whitening toothpaste when brushing. This type of toothpaste may contain abrasives that can actually damage the surface of your veneers.
Veneers are strong and durable, and with proper care, they can last for many years as many as 10 to 15, in fact. But it’s crucial to use common sense to keep your veneers intact. Avoid biting down on very hard foods or ice, and never use your teeth as tools.
Because they are resistant to stains and decay, it’s easy to take care of veneers. You will still need to protect your gum health by brushing at least twice a day and flossing at least once, or you might find yourself with a gum infection. Don’t use a whitening toothpaste on your veneers as this can cause scratches or other damage to the surface.
Stay current with biannual trips to your dentist to ensure the integrity of the veneers as well as to ensure gums are healthy. Our Paddington, NSW dental clinic recommends check-ups and cleans every six months to maintain optimal oral health.
The cost of veneers at our Paddington, NSW dental clinic varies from patient to patient, depending on the number of veneers to be placed as well as the complexity of your case. It’s best to speak to our dentists directly, and they can talk about costs after your consultation.
