Dental Veneers North Sydney

If you’re not happy with your smile or the state of your teeth generally, fitting dental veneers may be the best option to improve matters. Dental Veneers can fix a variety of problems and may be a simple and cheaper alternative to other methods such as braces, dental bridges & crowns and more intrusive types of dental surgery.

Veneers are light and easily fitted, providing an extra layer to the front surface of existing teeth. They can be created in a variety of materials, shapes and colours to markedly improve the appearance of your smile.

How Dental Veneers Can Help You

One of the biggest features of dental veneers is their flexibility. They can be used to improve a number of imperfections that include:

• Teeth that have become discoloured due to the use of certain medications, smoking or drinking tea or red wine. Although teeth whitening can improve their appearance, the effect may not last and the process may not be suitable if you have sensitive gums, so veneers are a better solution.
• Damage such as chips or worn down teeth, often resulting from ageing, over-zealous cleaning or grinding the upper and lower teeth together. This damage can include removal of the enamel and exposure of the yellow dentine layer, which can be covered by veneers.
• Teeth that are too short or misshapen, which can be corrected by dental veneers of the correct size and shape.
• Gaps between teeth that can be effectively closed by fitting veneers that are slightly bigger and so fill in the space.
• Crooked teeth can be corrected by fitting veneers that improve the alignment even though the teeth themselves are unchanged. This can be a cheaper and less intrusive method than fitting braces that need to be worn for a long time and require the use of retainers to prevent movement after the braces are removed.

The Benefits of Fitting Veneers in North Sydney

Dental Veneers are available in several materials — mainly porcelain but also composites — and can be provided in any suitable colour. They can, therefore, improve the whiteness of your teeth if a full set is fitted or can be matched to others if a single discoloured tooth is being corrected.

Since they are very light and thin, they require minimal preparation — simply removing some of the enamel surface to ensure proper bonding — or no preparation at all. It’s really a quick and simple process that involves, after an initial consultation, first preparing the teeth and choosing a matching colour, then subsequently bonding the veneers to the front surface of your teeth with a strong adhesive.

How to Look After Your Dental Veneers

Looked after properly, dental veneers can last for up to twenty years. They simply require a thorough regime of oral hygiene, the same as you should undertake anyway to properly look after your teeth. Although dental veneers can’t strengthen your teeth or repair significant damage, they can make them look a whole lot better without the need for extensive dental surgery.
