Veneers are a very popular form of cosmetic dentistry that a lot of people who have decaying, missing, or chipped teeth are interested in knowing more about. They have the ability to give someone back their confidence and smile. One reason why so many people consider getting veneers, Brookridge residents should know how close they can look to actual teeth. Many people are easy to spot dentures in someone’s mouth but it may be hard to distinguish a real tooth from a simulated veneer tooth. The reason why it is so hard to distinguish a veneer from a real tooth is because porcelain veneers can be manipulated to look exactly like that of your existing teeth.
Veneers are Similar to Real teeth.
Porcelain veneers have been designed to simulate a real tooth. Porcelain is not related to bone, but it is quite similar in color and hardness. With porcelain veneers, Brookridge residents can eat and chew nearly anything that normal healthy teeth can chew without risk of losing the veneer or damaging it. Porcelain veneers are naturally very white when compared to your current teeth, but they can be dyed and stained to match of the same color as your existing teeth. This is also why it is harder to spot fake veneers.
How do Veneer Procedures Work?
Veneers shapes and sizes are not held in reserve and then fitted to patients that desire a better smile. Actually, with veneers Brookridge patients would have a number of visits with their dentist before the procedure in order to take a casting or mold of existing teeth in order to construct an accurate recreation of the tooth in question. One the veneers are created, they must then color and stain the veneers to match that of the shade of your existing teeth. If a non-colored veneer was applied to a patient, then everyone would be able to tell that there is a veneer in your mouth.
