We use porcelain veneers as the gold standard for cosmetic fixes because of how well the material blends into the natural color and feel of your teeth. We want you to feel the most comfortable and confident possible. To create the smile of your dreams, a thin layer of tooth-colored porcelain is applied to the front surface of the chosen teeth.

• Repairing uneven gaps between teeth by closing the gap.

• Reshaping teeth that are crooked or misshaped.

Benefits Of Porcelain Veneers:

• Less painful than dental procedures like crowns and bridges.

• Giving you a genuine smile that is indistinguishable.

Composite Veneers Vs Porcelain Veneers 

If you want to change the shape of your teeth, you have a few choices. Composite veneers and porcelain veneers are the maximum normally used remedies for this. Find out which one is right for you by reading about it.

How Do Composite Veneers Work?

Composite veneers are a type of tooth covering made with a composite resin that requires very little treatment. The composite covers your existing teeth and helps to shape them so that they look better. Because they do not require covering the entire tooth with resin, composite veneers are ideal for repairing minor chips or cracks in the teeth.

Example of Composite Veneers 

A minimal amount of preparation is required to prepare your teeth for composite application. An adhesive glue will then be applied by your dentist to help the resin adhere to your teeth. After the resin has been applied, it will be sculpted into the shape that you want it to be and polished to a high shine.

Porcelain Veneers: What Are They?

Porcelain veneers cover the entire front surface of the teeth in the form of tooth-shaped "covers. As the name suggests, they are typically made of thin porcelain, but nowadays they can also be made of a composite material.

To fit the veneer cover over the front surface, your dentist will need to file down your existing teeth as part of the preparation. After that, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth and send them to a lab where the veneers will be made. You will receive temporary veneers to wear in the interim. Your veneers will be adhered with adhesive glue, much like composites, when they are ready.

What Is Their Lifespan?

Composite veneers typically last between five and seven years. However, this is contingent not only on the amount of composite applied to your teeth but also on your habits. With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last between 10 and 15 years.

Example Of Composite Veneers: How Are They Maintained?

Maintenance requirements for porcelain veneers and composite bonding are comparable. First and foremost, you should always brush your teeth twice a day with toothpaste recommended by your dentist, floss, and use mouthwash. Additionally, you should go to the dentist regularly for cleanings and exams.

Second, avoid chewing on hard things like ice or boiled sweets. Similar to how it can harm your real teeth, this can harm the veneers and cause them to crack. For the same reason, try not to use your teeth as tools.

As with your natural teeth, veneers can stain, so to keep them looking their best, try to limit or avoid dark-colored foods and drinks whenever possible. Additionally, we discourage smoking.

Last but not least, address any ongoing issues like bruxism (teeth grinding) that could harm the veneers. Over time, bruxism can damage your veneers as well as the enamel on your natural teeth. You can use the Ingersoll dental helpful guide on how to stop grinding your teeth.

What is the Cost?

Composite veneers start at $175 per tooth from us. Additionally, you should get teeth whitening treatment in advance, which costs $325 at our practice. Depending on where you get the treatment, porcelain veneers can cost anywhere from $495 to $1,000 per tooth.

The Cost Of Dental Veneers?

Dental Veneers Cost is not typically covered by dental insurance because they are considered cosmetic procedures. Dental Veneers Cost typically run between $500 and $2,000 for a single set in London, Ontario. The price is also affected by:

• The kind of material that veneers are made of.

• The service provider's experience and hourly rate.

• Anzahl of teeth.

• Health plans or dental insurance.

Is There Any Danger?

Both treatment options carry some potential dangers. When it comes to composite veneers, you need to be more careful when applying pressure to them because they are slightly more likely to chip than porcelain veneers. Additionally, the resin may separate from your natural tooth if there is insufficient adhesive used. However, if you complete your treatment with a reputable and experienced cosmetic dentist, this should not occur.
