If you are a patient who has a broken or missing tooth, there is a good chance that a dental professional will recommend that you go through with getting dental veneers. Dunnellon residents should understand that dental veneers are a very common dental procedure, as they are very effective and have a high success rate to give people back the functionality of one or more broken teeth.
Getting dental veneers is not as easy as getting them slapped onto existing teeth when a patient goes to get a checkup or a regular cleaning. There is a little bit of a process to get a patient prepped to get veneers to be successful.
Not all patients know the process of getting dental veneers put onto their teeth, but many people would feel more comfortable knowing what they are getting themselves into. Here we will go over some different aspects of the dental veneer process that a person would need to go through.
Prepping Problematic Teeth For Temporary Veneers
When it comes to a patient going through the process of getting dental veneers, Dunnellon residents need to be aware of the fact that dental veneers cannot simply go over teeth that are having issues.
These problematic teeth need to be addressed or corrected in order for dental veneers to go over them comfortably and to be effective. If a problem tooth has existing tooth decay for example, it will continue to decay even if a dental veneer is put on that tooth.
Some of the problems that dental professionals need to address are tooth decay, and reshaping the tooth in order to have it fit better for dental veneers. This is something that is often done why dental veneers are being crafted, as they are custom-made for any patient that needs them.
Understanding that Temporary Veneers are Very Important
One aspect of the dental veneer process that catches many patients off guard is the aspect of temporary veneers. Dunnellon residents might not understand why dental veneers come as temporary options first, but this is to help protect teeth and make sure the real ones will fit as they are getting made in a laboratory setting.
Both prepping teeth and creating the actual veneers is a lengthy process, and there are many situations where teeth can be fixed and shaped for dental veneers at a time when the veneers are not ready. Patients cannot have those teeth as is with no protective covering.
Temporary veneers do not take as long to make, however they are not as strong as the real thing. This is why it is important to cover exposed teeth, but temporary veneers are the best option for doing so in the meantime.
