WHAT PROBLEMS CAN I FIX WITH
DENTAL VENEERS?

Dental veneers are thin layers of porcelain, zirconia, or composite resin used to give a better look to natural teeth, thus improving the smile and self-esteem of patients.

They are designed according to the physiognomy of each patient to fit perfectly on every single tooth, looking always to keep an aesthetic and natural appearance.

Veneers create a durable and pleasing smile for severely discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth. Plus, this dental treatment is difficult to stain, making them popular for people seeking a perfect smile.

Skip the expensive and time-consuming orthodontic treatment and opt for dental veneers instead. Dentists attach rows of 4, 6, or 8 veneers to your upper front teeth to camouflage a crooked smile.

  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Teeth with gaps in between
  • Uneven teeth
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Teeth that are just plain ugly

MOST COMMON TYPES OF VENEERS

Currently, the most popular veneers are porcelain veneers, regularly most tourists travel for this specific type of veneer, however, it is essential that as a patient you know all your options and the characteristics of each before making a decision.

PORCELAIN VENEERS

Porcelain veneers are the type of veneers of choice for most cases, due to their versatility, and the number of cosmetic imperfections that they can correct. It’s important to stand out that porcelain veneers do not lose color or shine over time and have a 10-15 year lifespan.

LUMINEERS

Dental Veneers Lumineers® are as thin as a contact lens. Lumineers have 3 great advantages: a truly natural appearance, wear on the teeth is minimal, and they can last up to 30 years. However, not everyone is a candidate for this type of porcelain veneer.

COMPOSITE VENEERS

Composite veneers are the least invasive type since they are placed on the natural teeth without the need for wear. Besides, resin veneers are the cheapest option. On the other hand, its weaknesses are they are less resistant to stains and more fragile than porcelain veneers.

The procedure of getting Dental Veneers

The first part of this process consists of evaluating the current condition of the teeth in order to give way to the digital smile design. Subsequently, the dentist will remove a small part of the surface of the tooth (no more than 0.5 millimeters), this will allow the proper placing of the veneers. During your first visit, the dentist will take an impression of your teeth to send to the laboratory for the manufacture of your veneers according to the design. If they cannot complete the process on the same day, the dentist will provide temporary veneers for your use until they finish your permanent veneers.

The second phase consists of testing and placement of the final veneers. Once you try them on and approve them, the dentist will place a special cement on your prepared teeth on which he will place the veneers. Finally, the specialist will focus on ultraviolet light to harden the cement. One of the advantages offered by dental tourism is the optimization of work times. Regular placement of veneers is usually carried out in 2 visits, but depending on the case and the patient’s itinerary, it can be reduced to a single visit.

    CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE CHOOSE A CLINIC FOR DENTAL TOURISM VENEERS

    Choosing a dental clinic abroad will not be a task to be taken lightly, the decision must be accompanied by thorough research. Although savings, for obvious reasons, should be one of the priorities, it is important to remember that staying with the lowest price can be a very good opportunity or a monumental mistake. Before booking with any dental clinic, take the time to review the following:

    • Research any clinic’s experience, ratings, reviews, and history so you don’t get any nasty surprises.
    • Not all countries have the same quality standards, so there may be things that could be better but there are things that are not under discussion. Always, the installations must be neat and impeccable, and the place needs to have a proper sterilization area.
    • Wanting to explore the other side of the world is all very well, however, if any complications arise how long would it take you to return home? Remember the destination is important.
    • Take into account the extra expenses, usually, the prices of dental treatments do not include additional ones, such as anesthesia, temporary, etc.

    HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MY DENTAL VENEERS? – AFTERCARE

    Dental veneers should be cleaned like your own teeth. Flossing once a day and brushing two to three times a day with fluoride toothpaste will help to remove food debris and dental plaque bacteria. Talk to your dentist about the oral care products you should consider to help maintain the longevity of your dental restorations.
