If you are like the majority of dental patients in 2022, you are probably looking for a way to either whiten your smile or conceal cracks. Or perhaps you are suffering from dental sensitivity, which can really play up in the summer or winter when you consume hot and cold beverages.
Luckily, you don’t have to spend a fortune on a range of dental treatments to correct these issues. There is a single option, known as porcelain veneers, that can help with these issues and many more.
At Kooringal Dental, our team has extensive experience working with porcelain veneers Wagga and is always happy to meet with patients who want to alter the appearance of their smiles using this method. Veneers is relatively simple, quick and comfortable, making it a very popular procedure amongst our patients.
But you may want to know whether veneers Wagga will be able to alter the specific issues that you have with your smile; therefore, in this article, our team discusses five of the most common issues that porcelain veneers can correct.
Colouring
As many as 1 in 3 dental patients wish that their teeth were whiter, but, unfortunately, many people also have sensitive teeth, meaning they may be unlikely to undertake traditional bleaching to get a brighter smile. Luckily, veneers Wagga can be placed over your teeth in any hue or shade of white that you wish and can literally transform your smile within a single session without bleaching or discomfort. Our team will work with you to help you choose the most suitable shade of veneer to suit your smile, but in most cases, patients opt for natural hues over the Hollywood sheen.
Cracks and chips
Most people have cracks or chips in their teeth, usually caused by sports, manual work or simply blunt force trauma. Provided that these cracks and chips do not cause you any discomfort and that there is no decay setting in around them, our team will be happy to fit a porcelain veneer over the front of the tooth to hide the external damage. Veneering can also protect the tooth from falling victim to an attack from bacteria that cause decay.
Gaps
There may be some very minor gaps in between your teeth that you want to have corrected, but you may be less than eager to shell out for orthodontic treatment. Luckily, veneers can help here as well! Our team will simply fit the veneer on the two teeth and make it slightly wider so that when they are attached to the teeth, the gap is closed. Remember, this is only suitable for very minor spacing between teeth.
Symmetry
Many people have issues with symmetry in their smiles. They may have a canine on one side that is slightly longer than the canine on the other, creating an unbalanced smile. Laminates can help here as well. By extending the shorter canine to match the length of the tooth on the opposing side, our team can create better symmetry in your smile.
Sensitivity
And finally, this is not exactly cosmetic, but many people opt for porcelain veneers due to sensitive teeth. Laminates are placed over the entire front of the tooth, so they conceal any microscopic holes that may be causing discomfort when you drink hot or cold beverages, thus eliminating sensitivity.
