| If you want to achieve a perfect smile, dental veneers are a great solution. |
Dental Veneers are amongst the most popular cosmetic dental treatments that Academy Dental in Victoria offers. Dental veneers are very popular because they are permanent, custom made, and give a natural-looking result.
What are dental veneers?
Very simply put, porcelain veneers are a layer of tooth-colored material that we attach to the tooth in order to cover it completely. At Academy Dental in Victoria, our cosmetic dentistry experts can offer you dental veneer treatment for a variety of dental problems. These can include:
- chipped or crooked teeth
- discolored and stained teeth
- Wide Spaces between teeth
- Crooked, uneven smile
Porcelain veneers look extremely natural and it is very difficult to distinguish them from real teeth. The additional advantage of these veneers is that they are extremely durable and resilient.
There are three main types of veneers
The most common type is made of porcelain. Also known as dental porcelain laminates, which are made of pure porcelain. They are reasonably durable, being able to last for at least 15 years if you look after them well. These laminates are preferred by most people because they are extremely stain resistant. Porcelain laminates are wafer thin, but gain their strength once bonded to the tooth. Porcelain has the ability to reflect light in the same manner as teeth. This means that your porcelain laminates will look just like real teeth and people will just assume that you have an unusually well maintained and even looking set of teeth.
A second type of dental veneers is resin composite veneers. These are made out of a tooth-colored filling material that is placed on top of your tooth in order to cover it completely. These dental veneers can be placed on your teeth in one sitting only and the other is that these veneers can be repaired easily. There is no difficult manufacturing process involved. In fact, the cosmetic dentistry experts at Academy Dental in Victoria will fix it in your mouth directly and in one sitting only, thereby making the entire process very trouble free.
Lumineers are a third alternative that we may suggest for cosmetic enhancement of the front teeth (such as whitening or tooth lengthening). Lumineers are extremely thin and can be fixed to your tooth without it having to be reshaped. This means that you do not need to lose any of your natural tooth structure.
