What are Porcelain Veneers?

These ultra-thin veneers originate from compliant porcelain materials. This is because the metal grade ceramic is bonded to the tooth surface. As a result of this, the veneers then cover any visible imperfections. Some faults veneers cover range from teeth chipping, staining to discolouration.

Why are Porcelain Veneers a Long-Term Solution?

Otherwise known as dental porcelain laminates, the material make-up of these veneers are known to be highly durable. This form of modern cosmetic dentistry is curated to meet the facial structure, skin tone and natural bite. It's naturally resistant to several wear factors, like the ongoing motion of chewing.

By having resistance to hard materials, porcelain doesn't get damaged easily. Providing a dental solution that's built to last, from being visually appealing to practical for daily use.

Porcelain Veneers vs Composite Veneers: Invest in the Best

Are you wondering which veneers are right for you? With other dental solutions like composite veneers available, this can become overwhelming to navigate. Instead, don't contemplate your dental service when you choose Avira Dental. From the very beginning, we work carefully alongside you to pinpoint the most effective solution possible.

Know whether porcelain veneers are right for you:

The veneers quality overall

Given that the application of porcelain is refined, composite is much more likely to deteriorate in quality. This is because porcelain veneers are customised to each tooth's shape. On the other hand, the composite material shaping is not as refined.

The longevity of the veneers

When it comes to composite veneers, its lifespan ranges anywhere from 4-8 years. To compare, the anticipated lifespan of porcelain veneers is 10 to 15 years. Since the composite material is less wear resistant than its counterpart, it's more prone to damage.

The veneers appearance

Upon application, both veneers can look quite similar in appearance. However, over-time the non-porous nature of composite causes it to become stained more easily. In comparison, porcelain is non-composite meaning that it's more resistant to damage, such as coffee stains.

Initial Consultation

To gain deep insight into your dental anatomy, our team will provide a thorough consultation. From taking the time to provide an explanation of the service, to addressing any questions or concerns that you may have. Your peace of mind is always our priority.

We also pride ourselves on only using the latest in tools, materials and technology. As our team administers the advanced CBCT scan to assess your dental anatomy, including the teeth and jaw.

Treatment Planning

Before you begin, our team will remove less than a millimetre of enamel from the teeth. This then allows for a smoother, more effective teeth bonding process as the teeth adhere better. Once complete, we'll place in temporary teeth to preserve the teeth. It's important that veneers are worn at the timeframe advised by our experts, as newly reshaped teeth are more sensitive.

Veneers by Lab Fabrication

Once the exact measurements are determined, our team will send this off to the laboratory. Whether it's for a physical or digital impression of your teeth, we'll ensure the right match for you. By taking a personalised approach, it allows our team to help on your unique smile journey.

Permanent Veneers

Once our team has received the lab version, there'll be a final dental veneers appointment. This is because these will replace the temporary placeholder, completing your brand new smile. We strictly work with strong dental-grade adhesives, and check for key functions like biting.

Curing the veneers into place
Your teeth will remain strong, resistant and durable with the right aftercare. Before this process, the special dent cement helps to act as a seal between the new tooth and the natural tooth. The high intensity curing light will harden it for both added toughness and resilience.

Ongoing Treatment Advice

To help guarantee a smoother and brighter finish, our team will do one last polish of your teeth. Then, we'll inspect for any potential imperfections that are overlooked. Rest assured, we take the time to address any questions or concerns you may have.

What are Some of the Risks Associated With Porcelain Veneers?

Similarly to other dental procedures, porcelain veneers have some risks worth noting. Before entering any procedure, it's important to closely consult with your dentist to understand this. Here at Avira Dental, we're committed to providing explanations that keep you informed.

Know the risks of porcelain veneers:

  • Tooth Damage Porcelain veneers can chip or crack when exposed to excessive pressure. This type of damage can occur from conditions like bruxism, to biting into hard foods like ice or nuts.
  • Irreversibility To prepare the teeth for the veneers, the removal of the enamel causes the procedure to be irreversible. This is because it's a living tissue that can't be renewed.
  • Uneven Teeth Colours Over-time, the natural teeth may discolour while the veneers stay the same shade. This comes down to the porcelain veneers having stain resistant qualities.
  • Poor Patient Evaluation In rare cases, some patients are poorly assessed, and as a result seen as a candidate. However, unseen issues like unhealthy teeth, or poor enamel can cause the veneers not to bond.
