Advantages of veneers from our dentist

When you head to your local dental surgery to have cosmetic treatment performed, you may be concerned that you will need to have multiple treatments. Especially if you are looking to resolve issues such as spacing, cracks or chips in your teeth or even discolouration.

Luckily, there is now a way that we can oversee the treatment of all of these issues with one exceedingly versatile dental procedure known as veneers or porcelain laminates. You may or may not be suitable for them, depending on the issues that you are having treated.

At Northern Beaches Dental, we will always aim to provide our patients with the highest level of dental cosmetic care. Our dentist Mackay will work with you to ensure that your aesthetic needs are met and that you leave our surgery post-procedure feeling better about your smile.

In this article, we will discuss some of the benefits of having porcelain veneers fitted, so you can ascertain whether or not you want to contact our dentist Mackay to have this performed.

Sensitivity

Dental sensitivity is a common complaint that many of our patients have and while our dentist Mackay would usually try to resolve oral sensitivity using fluoride sealants or even root canals, veneers can be a viable option too. If the sensitivity in your teeth is caused by a crack, a chip, erosion of the enamel, or even dentine exposure, veneers can be beneficial. They will act as a protective covering between the dentine and the external stimuli of the mouth, thereby preventing them from accessing the pulp.

Gaps

This will depend on the severity of the gaps that you have, but if you have minor spacing between your teeth that you do not want to undertake orthodontic treatments for, veneers can be a viable option, especially when relating to the front teeth. We will simply create veneers that are wider than your tooth.

Cracks and chips

As mentioned before, veneers can help to conceal cracks and chips and will prevent sensitivity from forming as well as decay. But they can also act as a strengthening agent for teeth which are damaged due to these imperfections in the enamel, so they are well worth discussing with our team. In some instances, our team may choose to use veneers alongside other treatments such as root canals or crowns to prevent cracks or chips from forming in the enamel.

Discolouration

One of the main reasons why our patients come to us to have veneers fitted is to resolve issues with discolouration in their teeth, without using whitening gels or bleaches. Veneers can be created in any shade or hue that you prefer and can act as an instant boost to the appearance of your smile. In fact, they can whiten your teeth up to 18 shades in a single visit.

Aesthetics

Of course, with all of these advantages, the aesthetics of your smile will undoubtedly improve. When you have veneers fitted, they can whiten and straighten your teeth and can create better overall symmetry too, whilst closing gaps and concealing cracks. Thereby allowing you to feel better about how your smile looks.

All treatments carry risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
