WE TAKE EMERGENCIES AND WALK-INS
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are fragile shells intended to cover up the front of various teeth, providing a healthy and complete smile. Veneers are all specially and individually crafted to address the patient’s tooth’s unique color, size, and shape.
For veneers to bond to a tooth, we must remove roughly .5 millimeters from the tooth’s surface to ensure space for the wafer.
The Two Materials that we use at Our Bothell, WA Clinic
There are two primary materials used to make veneers:
Porcelain
If there were one significant advantage to a porcelain veneer, it would be the ability to resist any future stains and present a far more natural appearance in line with the look of the tooth.
Resin composite
Resin composites are nowhere near as stain-resistant as porcelain. Still, these are a lot sturdier and, ironically, thinner, and thus, the veneers do not require as much original tooth material removal during the bonding process.
What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?
- Veneers are routinely used to fix.
- Teeth that are discolored because of root canal treatment.
- Stains from tetracycline or other drugs.
- Excessive fluoride.
- Large resin fillings.
- Teeth are worn down, chipped or broken, misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped, and there are gaps between them.
A Non-Invasive Solution
A considerable advantage over various other cosmetic dentistry procedures in Bothell is the procedures performed at Affordable Family Dentistry are nowhere near as invasive. You can avoid the more complicated and extensive dental cosmetic procedures along the lines of bridges and crowns and still have the perfect smile.
