Before you get dental veneers, you may be interested in learning more about this great dental service. When it comes to covering flaws, veneers are a wonderful product that creates amazing results. You will be impressed with how much better your teeth will look once you have your veneers placed. Veneers can cover many dental flaws with minimal effort. Dental laminates do the same.

Dental Veneers vs. Laminates

A veneer is a cosmetic dental solution that utilizes a thin, tooth-colored and tooth-shaped shell that is placed onto the tooth to give a tooth better appearance. Laminates are very similar. However, where veneers require that a dentist remove a few layers of the tooth enamel prior to putting on the veneer, laminates do not require as much enamel to be removed. In addition, laminates are thinner than veneers.

The Benefits

Both dental veneers and laminates offer patients a number of very notable benefits. Below outlines some advantages a patient may want to know about prior to getting these services:

The Ready 2 Smile Dental Group Process

Before we can place your veneers, you will need to have a dental check up and allow us to fix any cavities and remove any dangerous infections.  Once that is all set, you are ready for veneers.

Dental veneers can be placed in as little as one dental visit or as many as three visits depending on what type of veneers you choose. Veneers are normally made of porcelain or composite materials depending on your specific needs. Once a patient has chosen which type of veneers they would like, the real procedure can begin, and the dentist can give the patient an estimated time frame based on those choices.  Before your veneers are placed, we will gently etch the surface enamel of your teeth to create a better base for the adhesive. Once your enamel is prepared, we will adhere temporary veneers while your new ones are created in the lab. Once ready, the dental veneers will be bonded to your teeth with a long-lasting dental glue.

Veneers normally last 15-20 years, sometimes longer. This length will range depending how well you care for your veneers and your surrounding gums and teeth. Fortunately, they can be easily replaced if they become damaged or worn.
