Whether it is teeth whitening or veneering, a large number of European people want to achieve a radiant smile. Less known for obtaining white teeth, this second method is nevertheless very effective. With an aesthetic aspect, the installation of dental veneers has become more democratic in recent years. How is the intervention carried out? Here are the different steps to regain white teeth and a radiant smile.
Characteristics of the dental veneer
The installation of veneers on the teeth can intervene when the whitening is not sufficient or because of a bad positioning of your teeth. These may be damaged, broken, stained, or slightly overlapped teeth.
There are two types of veneers to achieve white teeth:
Ceramic veneers: They allow good durability over time, maintenance requires regular brushing equivalent to that provided to natural teeth;
Zirconia veneers: They offer a real natural feel, and are extremely resistant.
These fine ceramic or zirconium oxide films are applied to your premolars, canines or even incisors in order to make your teeth white and radiant. The aesthetic change is visible and enhances your smile.
Prerequisite for intervention
However, the veneer installation is conditional on good oral hygiene. This is why the dentist first performs a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. If the dentition is too damaged, the latter will redirect you to the installation of an implant or a crown.
If your teeth are healthy, he can then guide you on the different facets according to the shapes and colors that you want to integrate into your smile.
We also treat critical dental diseases like swollen gums, calculus bridge, bad breathing, loose teeth, broken teeth, etc.
Molding of the veneer to harmonize the teeth
Once the aesthetic project of the veneers on the teeth has been determined, the dentist will perform:
-
A photograph of your smile;
-
An x-ray of your teeth;
-
An impression of your teeth.
Some specialists produce a custom-made test splint, also called a dental mask, in order to obtain a first glimpse of the final result.
Once the mold has been validated, this information is sent to the prosthetist so that he can perform the molding necessary to create the veneer for white and natural teeth.
Prepare the tooth to receive the veneer
In order for teeth to adhere to veneers, their surfaces must be scraped to become porous. Polishing, however, retains tooth enamel which makes the process reversible and allows better bonding of the veneer. Indeed, the dentin present behind the enamel remains much less adhesive than the latter.
Once this step is completed, your teeth are ready to receive veneers.
Definitive bonding of the dental veneer
The final placement of dental veneers is usually performed under local anesthesia. Although the procedure is painless, it remains long and often uncomfortable for the patient. Once the veneers are installed, their lifespan varies from 10 to 20 years depending on the materials used and your oral hygiene.
In the long term, the installation of dental veneers requires the same maintenance as natural teeth (regular scaling, dental floss, mouthwash, etc.).
