What Are Dental Veneers? Cost, Procedure

Dental veneers are a dental solution that will help you achieve the aesthetic look you want. Types of dental veneers are a popular solution for people with broken teeth, gaps or misshapen teeth. 

How is a Veneer Different from Implants or Crowns?

Implants, veneers and crowns are dental restoration methods that improve the aesthetic appearance and function of your teeth. These dental restoration methods differ from each other in terms of their application methods.

The main difference between crown and veneer is that a veneer covers only the front of your tooth while a crown covers the entire tooth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone and covered with a realistic looking crown. Dental veneers can change the appearance of existing teeth, while implants replace teeth that are missing or cannot be saved.

When Would My Dentist Recommend Veneers?

When you tell your dentist that you want to have a veneer, some criteria are checked in order for the dental operation to be successful. The following conditions should be met before the dental veneer is applied:

• Before having the veneer, your teeth and gums should be healthy. If you have gum problems or sensitivity problems, you should tell your dentist. Your dentist can treat your tooth and gum ailments before dental veneers are placed.
• If you are clenching your teeth or have a teeth grinding problem, your dentist may create a different treatment map, as this may cause the veneers to break.
• Discuss all your expectations and treatment options with your dentist in dental care and treatment processes. Your dentist will make the most appropriate recommendations according to your expectations and your oral and dental health.
