Porcelain veneers consist of a compilation of several thin ceramic layers. This will replace original tooth enamel, and an adhesive layer. To apply a veneer, a very small amount of the original tooth enamel must be removed, this is usually less than one millimeter of the enamel. This is step is essential as it creates room for the porcelain veneer to fit within the mouth. The process is designed to preserve the natural tooth function while creating a better appearance.
The bond between original tooth and porcelain veneer is critical. It not only provides the esthetic perfection desired, but it also creates a strong bond for the tooth itself. A light-sensitive resin is placed between the original tooth and the Porcelain veneer and then hardened using a technology advanced curing light.
With Porcelain veneers—as opposed to crowns—your natural teeth remain largely intact. Only a minimal amount of your altered tooth is removed to fit the veneer.
After the porcelain veneers are attached you will probably have some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures due to the removal of that thin layer of enamel. This typically disappears within a few days. You should avoid the same excessive stresses you would avoid with natural teeth.
Please don’t bite your fingernails, chew ice, or open a beer bottle with your veneers! Treat them as you would your original teeth, with routine brushing, tongue scraping, and flossing. Remember, this is about enhancing your life with the brightness of your smile!
