Get Dental Veneers In Dubai

What are dental veneers and how do they work?

Dental veneers in Dubai are from the cosmetic dental category, as they can transform smiles by providing beautiful, well-aligned teeth. They also have protective qualities and could remove the need for additional procedures. They also offer durability, improved appearance of your smile, and the need for minimal or no elimination of the tooth’s structure compared to the crowns. Whatever causes your unattractive smiles, dental veneers in Dubai can be able to solve the majority or all of your cosmetic dental problems that, include:

Colours and shades of dental veneers in Dubai

Most patients opt for veneers to improve their appearance. However, they also have restorative functions and protect the tooth surface from damage. They are an excellent option for patients with missing teeth, chips or stains. The veneers procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive. Depending on the colour of the teeth and the desired result, shells are available in many different shades.

Why do people get dental veneers?

Whether a patient is seeking treatment to restore their smile due to a medical condition, for cosmetic reasons, or both, there are many reasons why the dental veneer in Dubai treatment is typically chosen over other procedures.

Common reasons why patients get dental veneers:

Patients who are dissatisfied with the length, colour or size of their teeth
Chipped, cracked or broken teeth are usually due to injury. Teeth worn down by excessive bruxism (teeth grinding), erosion and other habits
Excessive consumption of water rich in fluoride, which can cause white stains or streaks on the teeth (fluorosis).
Staining and discoloration of the teeth caused by drugs that treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhoea and others. Coffee, wine, fruit and other dark foods or liquids can also cause staining,
Large resin fillings cause discoloration of the teeth.

Types of Veneers

Two types of materials are commonly used to create a dental veneer, including:

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain is the most common material used for veneers. They are tooth coloured, versatile, fully customisable and last for 10-15 years. Porcelain veneers are made of ceramic materials and are more stain resistant than composite veneers. When porcelain veneers were first introduced, the main advantage was the conservative and minimally invasive nature of the procedure. This is because the preparation required for the placement of the shell is minimal. This is not the case for full restorative procedures, such as dental crowns. This is why veneers are another popular option. Prior to the porcelain veneer procedure, your dentist will colour correct and shape the remaining healthy tooth structure by 0.5 mm or more. Then he or she replaces the natural tooth with a bonding agent and a porcelain shell. Opaques can be used if the tooth has very dark discoloration. The patient can choose from over 15 different porcelain shades.

Composite veneers

Composite veneers are a cosmetic alternative to porcelain veneers. They are made of the same material as the tooth-coloured fillings. The composite veneer in Dubai is slightly less expensive than the porcelain veneer. They are usually made quickly, which means they can be processed the same day. Direct composite veneers (composite bonding) are sculpted on the teeth rather than in a dental laboratory. Like porcelain veneers, composite veneers require the teeth to be reshaped before they are placed. Composite veneers can also be placed directly on uncut enamel. Composite veneers generally last 5-7 years, compared to 15 years for porcelain veneers. Composite is more conservative than porcelain. When composite chips, the chipped area can be repaired. In the case of porcelain chips, the entire veneer must be replaced.

Side effects and risks of veneers

Traditional veneers, such as porcelain and composite, are excellent options for those looking to improve their smile quickly, effectively and safely. As with any dental procedure, there are risks. These risks are generally not serious and, with proper care, can be avoided. Common conditions and side effects of veneers can include:

Tooth Sensitivity

During the consultation and smile assessment, the dentist will examine your teeth to determine if porcelain veneers are the right option for you. The details of the Hollywood Smile dental procedure are explained, then the preferred shape, length, width and colour of your new teeth are determined, and impressions and photographs of the patient’s mouth are taken.

Tooth deterioration

There is also a risk of dentine deterioration after veneers are placed, but this is less common. During the enamel removal process, the underlying dentin may be damaged. An ill-fitting veneer in Dubai can also change the alignment of the patient’s bite, resulting in tooth sensitivity, bruxism or jaw pain.

Future replacement of veneers

Individuals with untreated dental conditions prior to veneer placement, such as enamel erosion, are at greater risk of veneer failure. Alternative restorations, including crowns or cosmetic bonding, are often recommended to replace a veneer.
