In our experience over the years in the dental industry, we have found that the field of dental care that patients have the most questions about is cosmetic dentistry. The questions patients are most concerned with is the effectiveness of treatment, suitability, the dental conditions these treatments can resolve and the process involved in specific treatment plans.
Cosmetic dental treatments like veneers London are focused on helping patients fall in love with their smiles, giving them the confidence to make a favourable impression in important social and professional settings.
One of the common factors that frustrate the look of a smile is dental flaws; flaws may relate to the size, shape, colour and condition of the teeth. Cosmetic dental solutions, such as veneers London, work not only to correct these issues but also to protect dental integrity.
At DRMR, patients will find highly skilled and well-experienced cosmetic dentists offering outstanding patient care and superior quality veneers London. In this post, we answer some of the more pertinent questions patients have about these remarkable dental caps.
Common veneer-related questions that patients ask
What are dental veneers?
Veneers can be likened to paper-thin coverings that are placed over the outer surface of the tooth requiring treatment. The caps or coverings are made of porcelain or biocompatible material that when moulded to teeth, effectively conceal the blemishes underneath.
What imperfections can dental caps hide?
The answer to this question is perhaps one of the more marvellous attractions of dental caps, for they can be used to great effect to hide a multitude of tooth-related flaws. Patients with minor issues relating to crookedness, irregular shape or size, staining and chips and cracks are most suited to this type of cosmetic dental solution.
Do teeth need to be prepared before dental caps can be placed over them?
This question can be answered once our dental practitioner assesses the patient’s dental condition to determine their enamel strength and objectives.
How many veneers will I require?
Again, this question can only be answered during a consultation since some patients, due to their aesthetic goals or dental conditions, will need more veneers than others to create their well-crafted smiles. Our well-experienced dentist will be able to formulate a personalised treatment plan for you.
How long does the process take?
As a personalised treatment solution, the number of visits to our clinic will not be the same for every patient, but what patients should know is that ultimately, veneers are one of the relatively quick ways to a fantastic smile.
How should dental caps be maintained?
We applaud patients who include this question on their list for it is how well they care, for their veneers that determines its longevity and success.
We remind patients of the utmost importance of their oral hygiene obligations and to avoid behaviours that increase the likelihood of damaging teeth, such as biting down on hard materials. Patients who are disposed to grinding their teeth may also need to find ways to avoid this.
The above are just some of the pressing questions patients have when considering veneers. To have your specific questions answered, please schedule a consultation with our dentist at DRMR.
