A New Smile with Dental Veneers: Composite / Porcelain Veneers
The favourite solution among celebrities for creating a whiter, more perfect smile! Dental veneers, also known as “dental contact lenses”, are used to redesign the smile in cases of misaligned, misshapen or broken teeth, restoring them aesthetically. At Atelier do Sorriso Dental Clinic in Almancil, in the heart of Faro, we specialise in providing comprehensive smile reconstruction solutions using dental veneers. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing outstanding aesthetic oral and facial rehabilitation services, ensuring that our patients achieve their desired results.The main reasons for getting veneers are:
- dissatisfaction with your smile;
- darkened teeth;
- worn teeth;
- crooked or misaligned teeth;
- chipped or broken teeth;
- gaps between teeth (closing a diastema).
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers, veneers or dental contact lenses consist of a thin aesthetic material, typically offering high aesthetics and strength, designed and customised for each person, which bonds to and covers the entire front surface of the visible teeth.
Why should I get veneers?
Dental veneers can completely transform your smile in a relatively short time. They allow us to quickly change the colour, shape, position, size and length of the teeth.
What types of veneers are available?
There are many material options that can be used to make veneers (tooth coverings), but they generally fall into one of three groups: Ceramic Veneers, Composite Resin Veneers and Ceramic Fragments.
Dental Veneer Placement Procedure:
- To begin the process, we use advanced digital software that allows us to create detailed simulations of the final result. This enables our patients to view and approve the proposed changes before any treatment begins. We understand the importance of patient satisfaction and always strive to achieve results that exceed expectations.
- Once the simulation has been approved, our qualified professionals take care of every stage of the smile reconstruction process. From preparing the teeth for veneer placement to their precise bonding, we ensure meticulous attention to detail and the highest standards of quality.
- Our dental veneers are made from high-quality materials and carefully designed to match the shape, size and colour of the adjacent teeth. This not only results in a harmonious, natural-looking smile, but also ensures long-term durability and function.
Throughout the entire smile reconstruction journey, we prioritise patient comfort and safety. Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and follows strict sterilisation protocols, ensuring a clean and safe environment.
If you are looking for a complete smile transformation, our team is ready to guide you through every step of the process with professionalism and care. Contact us today to book an appointment and take the first step towards the smile you have always dreamed of.
FAQ: More Questions About Dental Veneers
What are the pros and cons of ceramic veneers?
Porcelain/ceramic is the material of choice when improving the appearance of
the teeth, thanks to its excellent optical properties and outstanding colour
stability over time.
Porcelain/ceramic veneers are a first-line solution when there is a
significant concern or high aesthetic expectations. However, they tend to be
more expensive.
What are the pros and cons of composite resin veneers?
Composite resin veneers, or composite veneers, are a good, more affordable
alternative to porcelain/ceramic veneers.
Although they cannot mimic natural teeth as effectively as ceramic veneers,
composite resin veneers can achieve good results, provided they receive
regular maintenance.
Compared with ceramic veneers, they are more susceptible to discolouration
and staining over time.
Does the veneer preparation process damage the teeth?
The most modern techniques allow for the removal of less than 0.4 mm of
enamel. This is a conservative procedure that does not damage the tooth
structure, as it only covers the surface of the tooth.
Is getting veneers a lengthy process?
This type of treatment and the placement of dental veneers usually require
only three appointments:
- Initial assessment and diagnosis appointment;
- Appointment to prepare the teeth and take the necessary impressions;
- Final appointment to place the permanent restorations.
How long do veneers last?
The lifespan of dental veneers is still difficult to determine. Although
there are many successful cases lasting more than 10 years, every case is
unique.
The durability of veneers can vary significantly from person to person, as
it depends on factors inherent to each individual.
How should you brush your teeth with veneers?
Veneers should be cleaned in the same way as natural teeth. You should brush
your teeth two to three times a day with fluoride toothpaste, use dental
floss and mouthwash.
This helps prevent the build-up of bacterial plaque, preventing cavities and
gum problems.
