Composite resin veneers
One of the most effective and efficient restorative treatments available to repair minor blemishes including chips, cover permanent stains or close spaces between teeth is composite resin veneers.
The composite resin is an acrylic tooth coloured filling material comprising of silica, quartz and fine glass-like particles mixed to a paste consistency. It is able to be colour matched to your natural tooth shade and also utilised to strengthen teeth.
Requiring true artistic skill, composite veneers are applied to the surface of your teeth and sculpted to the perfect shape, blending seamlessly with your surrounding natural teeth, enhancing your smile.
Due to their strength and natural appearance, white composite veneers are becoming an increasingly popular choice with patients as they can often be completed in a single appointment visit.
Prior to the commencement of any treatment, we will discuss with you in detail your aspirations and develop a tailored treatment plan. We will explain your various options, the procedure and what can and can’t be achieved and provide information on alternative treatment options for teeth that require them. We will also conduct a thorough oral health examination and review your general health to ensure you are suitable for this procedure.
During your consultation appointment, we encourage you to ask any questions and broach any concerns you may have, no question is unimportant as we want you to be confident and comfortable that you have all the information you need relating to every aspect of your treatment.
Meticulous preparation is required to achieve the best result. The surface of your teeth receiving the composite veneers will be made slightly rough using a formulated solution, this will ensure a stronger bond with your teeth, some minor reshaping of the teeth may also be required.
Once prepared, the composite material is applied in layers and hardened by a specially developed light. Several layers may be placed depending on the nature on the tooth being restored. Once the desired shape is achieved, the teeth are cleaned and polished, giving them a natural appearance and you a new perfectly aligned smile.
The time needed to complete you treatment successfully will depend on several varying factors including, the number of teeth receiving the veneers and the condition of your teeth. We will be able to advise you of an anticipated timeframe at your consultation appointment.
Continuous oral hygiene care is essential for the longevity of your composite veneers. Regular brushing, flossing and professional cleaning appointments with our hygienist every six months will keep your new smile strong and last for many years.
