VENEERS AND LAMINATES IN PUNE

There are many dental treatments these days that help one have a healthy mouth and get rid of all the dental problems. One such dental treatment is Veneer and Laminates. Veneer is a restorative material’s thin layer placed over a tooth surface. This layer enhances the aesthetics of tooth or is applied to protect the damaged surface of tooth. A Veneer is fabricated using different materials. One is a composite material and the other is a dental porcelain.

Composite veneers can be placed in the mouth directly, or can be fabricated in a lab, and later bonded on the damaged tooth using resin cements. A Porcelain Veneer, on the other hand, can only be indirectly fabricated.

A cosmetic dentist’s important treatment is Veneers. Dentists use Veneers to restore single damaged tooth or multiple damaged teeth, which might be fractured, discolored, or damaged. It helps them give their patients, teeth resembling that of their famous celebrities. Many people suffer from problems like small teeth, which leads to spaces between teeth, which may not be easily closed by orthodontists. Other problems like worn out edges of teeth, malpositioned teeth, etc. Veneers can help in closing these spaces, lengthen the teeth that have been shortened because of wearing out, fill in the black triangles appearing between teeth due to gum recession, help provide uniform, shape, color, symmetry and help teeth appear straight.

When you first visit the dentist, he takes a small part of the enamel and takes impression of teeth. Highly qualified technicians get these impressions and they work accordingly.
