Dental veneers and dental bonding are great solutions for restoring damaged, discolored, or cracked teeth. At Cramer Dental, we use these procedures to enhance your smile and make your teeth look beautiful and natural. Both techniques are tailored to suit your needs, offering a long-lasting and confident smile.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made coverings that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. These veneers are designed to cover imperfections such as stains, chips, and cracks, restoring your smile to its natural beauty. At Cramer Dental, we use high-quality materials like porcelain to craft veneers that look just like your natural teeth.
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a similar procedure to dental veneers, but instead of covering the entire surface of a tooth, bonding is applied to smaller areas. Bonding involves the use of a tooth-colored resin that is shaped and hardened to improve the appearance of your teeth, whether you need to correct cracks, chips, or discoloration.
Dental Bonding vs Veneers: What is the Difference?
Dental bonding and veneers are both cosmetic dental treatments, but there are key differences:
- Veneers: Veneers cover the entire front surface of the tooth and require the removal of a small amount of enamel. They are a permanent solution and not reversible.
- Bonding: Bonding covers smaller areas of the tooth, typically requiring no removal of enamel, and can be easily reversed if necessary.
What to Expect from Veneer Placement
Before placing dental veneers, our team conducts a comprehensive evaluation to ensure you're a good candidate for the procedure. This may include examining your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Once we confirm you're eligible, we’ll prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. Afterward, we’ll take impressions, which are used to design your custom veneers.
Your veneers may take a few days to a few weeks to be ready, but we’ll provide you with temporary veneers to wear during the wait. When the final veneers are ready, you’ll return for a fitting. Our dentists will ensure they match your natural teeth and are a perfect fit, bonding them securely in place.
How to Care for Dental Veneers
Once your veneers are placed, it’s essential to care for them properly to ensure they last. Here are a few tips:
- Brush and floss daily to maintain your oral health.
- Avoid pulling on your veneers when flossing.
- Steer clear of sticky foods like ice, hard candy, and nuts until your veneers are fully set.
- Attend regular checkups with your dentist to monitor the condition of your veneers.
