Zirconia veneers are thin shells placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. Zirconia veneers can be custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of a patient's natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Zirconia veneers are a newer and increasingly popular option for cosmetic dentistry. Our zirconia restorations veneers provide numerous benefits compared to traditional veneers, including increased durability, translucency, and a thinner design that requires less natural tooth structure removal
Preparing for a zirconia veneers procedure involves several steps to ensure the best possible outcome. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation: The first step is to have a consultation with your dentist. They will examine your teeth, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate for zirconia veneers. This may involve taking X-rays or making a model of your mouth.
Treatment Plan: If you're a suitable candidate, your dentist will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This will outline the number of veneers required, the cost of the procedure, and the timeline.
Pre-procedure Dental Work: Before the veneers can be placed, any underlying dental issues such as cavities or gum disease must be addressed. Your teeth may also need to be cleaned professionally.
Tooth Preparation: To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the front surface of your teeth. This is done to ensure the veneers fit properly and look natural. An impression of your teeth is then taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom zirconia veneers will be made.
Temporary Veneers: Depending on your dentist’s recommendation, you may be fitted with temporary veneers while your permanent ones are being made. These protect your prepared teeth and help you get used to the feel of veneers.
Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene leading up to the procedure. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep your mouth clean and healthy.
Diet and Lifestyle: Avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine. If you smoke, try to quit or cut down as smoking can also discolor your teeth and gums.
Remember, every patient is unique, so the preparation process may vary slightly based on your specific needs and the dentist's recommendations. Always follow your dentist's advice to ensure the best results.
