Sending a big smile to people around may not seem like a problem to certain of us, conversely, some people may have been facing the problem because of their teeth, for example, irregular shape, decay, fractured, mottled as well as uneven color. Consequently, these issues make them feeling unconfident in their own smile. As mentioned above, in this article, today we have some information about “Veneer” Techniques from DR.NAWAPAT SAKORNWIMON, the dentist who graduated from Master of Dental Surgery for Beauty and Dental Implants at Dental Center Phyathai 2 Hospital.
Why Veneer?
The veneer provides treatment for teeth irregularity, tooth decay, snaggled tooth or teeth with bad color. Moreover, in case of having white mottled tooth or grey mottled tooth caused by Tetracycline, the veneer is also be used to fix it, but today this method is not utilized anymore due to the change of tooth color. However, in patients during late 30s or early 60s are always found having this problem accordingly.Choose the right process to the right patientIn fact, the teeth problems have no effect to the processes as all cases can be treated by different procedures. However, the things that concern a treatment are cost and duration, for instance, if you have the veneer with composite, this method can be made right after you decide to have it by sitting and wait until it is done. Moreover, time may quite long on account of being done by hands, but a good thing is when patients would like to change some details after the process, all can be provided immediately. Therefore, for your information, this type of veneer is suitable for foreign patients or those who live in rural areas including people who only can stay for two or three days at the place with limited budget.
Which types of veneer give you good results?
In fact, if there is no cost issue, patients should have Porcelain Veneers as a color of the teeth can remain like ceramic plate, also a reflection or shine of the teeth is similar to the actual one. However, for the composite veneer, after done with the process, scrubbing will be provided to make them look shiny. Furthermore, if patients love to drink coffee or tea, about 4-5 years the teeth color can go darker, making them look unreal ,said the dentist.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
Veneer composite takes about 5 years; you may begin to feel the color change, which most of patients come back to fix some beauty. In fact, that does not mean the duration lasts in every 5 years. However, doctors usually tell their patients that the lifespan may take about 10 years, which may not be an exact prediction. Therefore, the veneer lifespan is based on patients, if you intensively use it, such as biting something hard or overlook about hygiene, the time can be expired faster than those who pay attention to their teeth.
Proper Care
The main thing is to look after the teeth, brush them by using dental floss, and then see a dentist in every 6 months. Moreover, even doctors can provide natural augmentation; there is still something that makes your teeth look unnatural, especially when they are affected by these factors, for example, having foods that contain excess amount of acid, causes the glue used for holding the veneer deterioration as it contributes you to tooth decay. Therefore, to receive teeth checkup is necessary in order to heal the area where it is needed to be treated and the most important thing is to avoid biting something hard like shrimp, because that can causes you teeth fracture, especially, the veneer composite.
“Before receiving the dental treatment. The first thing you should do is to select a doctor and set your expectation, so when it is time to discuss with the doctor you will be able to explain what you would like to receive, and what process should be used for a remedy, thus you can have the best outcome. As mentioned, this helps patients feel happy after the treatment. According to some cases, patients only want to follow a trend without correct information, while they may not require much procedure and receive only whitening or veneer on several teeth etc.
