Veneers can be customized to blend seamlessly with your smile?
During the first consultation, the dentist will conduct a visual examination of your teeth to decide whether you’re a good fit for the treatment. Ideal candidates include patients with tooth discoloration, fractures, and mild to moderate dental decay. Some dentists might take bite impressions and x-rays of your teeth in case of underlying issues that exceed aesthetics.
You’ll work together with your dentist to create a treatment plan that works for your situation. This involves discussing your cosmetic goals and determining the size, shape, and color of the veneers. Dentists may sometimes use 3D imaging software to give you an idea of what to expect. After imaging, they’ll prepare your teeth for the veneers by shaving bits of the enamel. This is usually done under local anesthesia.
The dentist will place a tray with dental putty on your teeth to get their impressions. Some dentists use 3D digital scanners to achieve the same. These impressions are sent to a lab to fabricate your custom veneers. Fabrication takes about two to three weeks. Meanwhile, you’ll have to wear temporary veneers made from acrylic or dental wax.
The dentist will schedule a placement appointment once the veneers arrive. The placement involves removing the temporary veneers and applying bonding material on the front surface of the teeth. The dentist then carefully places the veneers on the front surface of the teeth before curing it with a special light.
Veneers are incredibly effective at enhancing the visual appeal of your smile without looking too artificial. The veneers mimic the tooth’s natural color, blending with the rest of the teeth and making them hard to discern.
Veneers are also long-lasting and can last a lifetime with proper care and the right oral habits. Composite veneers last 7 to 10 years, while porcelain veneers last for 20 years or more. This makes them a better cosmetic option than treatments like teeth whitening that only last months.
Lastly, veneers are a quick and convenient option compared to orthodontics. The process of getting veneers is also minimally invasive and rarely requires anesthetic. This makes them suitable for patients of all ages.
Veneers can be used to correct minor facial asymmetry?
No, dental veneers aren’t removable. Instead, they’re permanent cosmetic treatments that only a licensed dentist can remove. However, you won’t need to remove these prosthetics since you can eat and brush or floss your teeth like usual even with veneers.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They're made from porcelain or resin composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth. Veneers can be used to fix a wide range of dental issues such as discolored, worn down, chipped, broken, uneven, irregularly shaped teeth, or teeth with gaps.
At PS Dental, Dr. Sinha uses his expertise in cosmetic dentistry to provide high-quality veneers in Glastonbury. He carefully designs each veneer to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, creating a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you'll be proud to show off.
The process of getting veneers typically involves three appointments at PS Dental. The first appointment is a consultation with Dr. Sinha, where he will discuss your dental goals, examine your teeth, and determine whether veneers are the right option for you. If you decide to proceed, Dr. Sinha will prepare your teeth for veneers during the second appointment. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth and taking an impression of your teeth, which is used to create your custom veneers.
The third appointment is when your veneers are fitted. Dr. Sinha will carefully bond the veneers to your teeth, ensuring they fit perfectly and look natural. After your veneers are in place, he will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is correct and you're comfortable with your new smile.
Caring for your veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing, along with regular dental check-ups, are essential to maintaining your veneers. It's also important to avoid chewing on hard objects, such as ice or pens, as this can damage your veneers.
While veneers are stain-resistant, Dr. Sinha recommends limiting your consumption of staining foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, to keep your veneers looking their best. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, you may need to wear a night guard to protect your veneers.
Remember, veneers are a long-term investment in your smile. With proper care, they can last for many years, providing you with a beautiful, confident smile.

Veneers, particularly traditional porcelain veneers, are generally not reversible because their application involves the permanent alteration of the tooth's structure. This process includes removing a thin layer of enamel to accommodate the veneer, which means once the enamel is removed, it cannot be restored to its original state. Therefore, choosing veneers is a long-term decision that commits you to maintaining them, as they will need replacement after their lifespan of about 10 to 15 years.
