If you are looking for a cosmetic dental solution to enhance your overall smile, dental veneers might be for you! Redstone Smiles Dental is pleased to offer dental veneers, a cosmetic dental option that can effectively and permanently straighten teeth, correct gaps, and chips in your teeth, remove stubborn stains, and create a beautiful and uniform smile.
A veneer is a thin shell of either composite resin or porcelain that is bonded to the front outer-surface of your teeth. Used as a cosmetic treatment to improve a wide range of dental imperfections like shape, size and colour of teeth, veneers can correct and protect chipped teeth, damaged teeth, and discoloured teeth, as well as help to improve the overall aesthetics of your teeth. Veneers are some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry options available. They are thin shells of porcelain that are adhered to the surface of the tooth. Composite veneers are fabricated using engineered resin affixed to the outer surface. Both porcelain and composite veneers are made to match your teeth (to whiten) and improve your overall smile. Highly durable, porcelain veneers can last decades with the proper care.
Time: Composite veneers can be fabricated chair-side while you wait, making them a same-day treatment; you can walk out the same day with a new smile! Porcelain veneers typically require two visits.
Durability: Porcelain veneers are the more durable of the two; porcelain is far stronger than composite resin. Maintained properly, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years, compared to 5-7 for composite resin.
Aesthetics: Porcelain most naturally replicates human enamel, so it more seamlessly blends in with the rest of your natural teeth and looks more natural. The translucent properties of porcelain allow the veneer to catch light extremely similar to the way a natural tooth does. Furthermore, porcelain is stain-resistant, while composite resin will stain just like natural teeth.
Cost: Composite resin is more affordable, which can be a deciding factor if cost is an issue. Porcelain is more expensive because the placement takes more time, expertise, and resources.
Redstone Smiles Dental Smiles will talk with you about your options and discuss with you whether veneer treatment would be right for you and whether porcelain or composite resin would be ideal. The Redstone Smiles Dental team has transformed hundreds of smiles using porcelain and composite veneers, so you can rest assured that you are in the right hands.
