From a broken or chipped tooth to stained or crowded rows of teeth, there are many reasons why dental veneers can be a transformative choice for you. While there have been many innovative advancements in cosmetic dentistry in recent years, the impressive, long-lasting results of quality veneers are truly unrivalled.
If you’re considering getting dental veneers in Joondalup, Stirling or Beechboro, read on to discover some informative answers to the most common veneer queries.
What are dental veneers?
Veneers are very thin layers of porcelain placed over existing teeth to cover up a wide range of imperfections and present a beautiful bright smile to the world. Highly durable, porcelain is the ideal stain-resistant material for long-term use, custom-made veneers in Beechboro, Joondalup and Stirling are firmly bonded to your teeth with highly realistic results.
Common questions about veneers include:
1. Are veneers permanent?
While one set of veneers will not last forever, with consistent care they can last an impressive 10 to 20 years with very few issues. This is an extremely long period for a non-permanent cosmetic dental care option, making them a great long-term investment.
2. Are dental veneers easy to look after?
Looking after quality dental veneers is similar to looking after your natural teeth. To prevent staining and discolouration, simply clean your teeth thoroughly twice daily with a reliable soft-bristled toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, and daily flossing to lift food particles from the tough porcelain shells.
If you notice any changes to your dental veneers, book an appointment with First Impressions Dental to quickly and effectively rectify the situation.
3. Can veneers become stained or damaged?
The beauty of contemporary porcelain veneers is their strong resistance to staining, as porcelain is not a porous material that absorbs stains, unlike natural tooth enamel.
Should your veneers appear a different shade to your original teeth, this could be due to natural teeth becoming darker over time, or sometimes older veneers created from a more porous material darken and need replacing.
4. Are veneers in Beechboro suitable for everyone?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for veneers. Potential issues include gum disease or infection, crowded or crooked teeth, damaging grinding, or not enough viable tooth enamel. The best way to determine whether quality dental veneers are right for you is a tailored consultation with expert veneer dentists at First Impressions Dental.
5. How many veneers do I need, and what colour?
Veneers of excellent quality are fully customised designs, making it possible to get the right shape, colour, and variation of veneers needed to suit your face shape and personal preferences. Your initial consultation with an experienced dentist involves a discussion of your ideal shade and the number of veneers needed to suit your smile and compliment your face.
