Veneer Crowns
What are Veneer Crowns?
Veneer crowns, also known as porcelain crowns, are a type of dental restoration designed to improve the appearance and functionality of damaged or unsightly teeth. They combine the aesthetic benefits of veneers with the strength and coverage of crowns. Veneer crowns cover the entire tooth surface, providing a durable and natural-looking solution for enhancing your smile.
Why Might You Need Veneer Crowns?
Veneer crowns are an excellent option for several reasons:
- Severely Damaged Teeth: Ideal for teeth that are cracked, broken, or severely decayed.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Perfect for improving the appearance of discoloured, misshapen, or otherwise unsightly teeth.
- Strength and Durability: Provides strong protection for teeth that have undergone root canal treatment or have large fillings.
- Restoring Functionality: Helps restore proper biting and chewing function for damaged teeth.
- Long-Lasting Solution: Offers a durable and aesthetically pleasing option for tooth restoration.
Benefits of Veneer Crowns
- Natural Appearance: Made from high-quality porcelain or ceramic, designed to mimic the natural translucency and colour of your teeth.
- Enhanced Comfort: Custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably, ensuring improved functionality for eating and speaking.
- Durability: Provides long-lasting results with proper care, offering strong protection for damaged teeth.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Covers the entire tooth, offering full protection and an improved appearance.
- Preserves Tooth Structure: Less invasive than full crowns, as only a minimal amount of tooth structure is removed.
What to Expect
The process of getting veneer crowns involves several steps to ensure a perfect fit and optimal functionality:
- Initial Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health, take measurements, and discuss your goals for the veneer crowns.
- Tooth Preparation: The affected teeth are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crowns.
- Impressions and Measurements: Detailed impressions of your teeth and measurements of your bite are taken to create custom veneer crowns.
- Temporary Crowns: Temporary crowns may be placed to protect the prepared teeth while your permanent veneer crowns are being fabricated.
- Design and Fabrication: The veneer crowns are designed to match your natural teeth and are fabricated using high-quality materials.
- Final Placement: Once the custom veneer crowns are ready, they are fitted and adjusted to ensure a precise fit and comfortable bite. The crowns are then permanently cemented onto the prepared teeth.
- Post-Placement Care: You will receive guidance on how to care for your new veneer crowns, including cleaning and maintenance tips to ensure their longevity.
