Costa Rica Porcelain Veneers

Costa Rica Porcelain veneers are wafer thin porcelain covers that are bonded or cemented onto the front of teeth to create a new cosmetic appearance for a tooth. One of the advantages of Costa Rica porcelain veneers is the natural appearance of the dental veneers, in the way that porcelain works in the mouth, giving dental veneer inlay teeth a natural look. If teeth are discolored, worn, slightly chipped or misaligned, a dental veneer inlay could be the next step towards having a picture perfect smile. Thanks to the new technology in cements and bonding agents, Costa Rica porcelain veneers can be firmly bonded to teeth creating a durable and strong surface for rough or discolored teeth. In addition, porcelain veneers is stain resistant, providing a longer lasting white smile that looks and feels natural, restoring confidence to your smile. Repairing minor tooth imperfections and defects such as small chips and worn or misshapen surfaces are some instances where porcelain tooth veneers could be used, as well as a means to cover and conceal stained or discolored fillings on teeth. Some people have discolored or stained teeth that may have resulted from injuries or tetracycline or fluorosis treatments, as well as root canal treatments or physical trauma, and they can have porcelain veneers placed to cover the mismatched tooth. If you have slight gaps between various teeth that are not serious enough to require orthodontic treatment, you could have the gaps closed thanks to Costa Rica porcelain veneers for an even and attractive smile.

How are tooth veneers placed? It will usually take two visits to get cosmetic porcelain veneers in place. The time between the two visits is usually one to two weeks, depending on schedules. First the enamel on the front of the tooth will be trimmed. Enamel is the glossy hard surface that covers the tooth, and it needs to be trimmed to remove the thickness that will be replaced with the tooth veneers, so that the final tooth size doesn’t vary too much. After the enamel has been trimmed, an impression of your tooth will be made. Your dentist could have it done by pressing impression putty on your teeth and sending the form to a lab where a mold will be made and the Costa Rica porcelain veneers will be produced. Other dentists have a milling machine which thanks to a camera it can take the impression of your tooth optically, and a machine can use this image to create a porcelain veneers by grinding it out of a block of porcelain in a matter of minutes. With this procedure, dental veneers can be placed in one visit instead of two, however, some dentists feel that porcelain veneers crafted by hand are of superior quality and appearance than those milled by machines. If you need to wait for the dental veneer inlay to be made in a lab you’ll have to go home with the rough tooth surface and lack of enamel. Some people decide to get temporary porcelain veneers; others choose to wait with the new rough surface of their teeth until the next visit. Ask your dentist about different dental veneer inlay choices, and find out if temporary porcelain veneers are a good choice for you. When you return to the dentist, he will test the dental veneers on your teeth and then inspect them and modify them to fit by trimming. The goal is to make dental veneer inlay look exactly right. After a pleasing arrangement is made, the dentist will then bond the dental veneer inlay to the tooth.

To place the dental veneers, the surface of your tooth will be etched with an etching gel creating a rough surface the cement can adhere to. The cement is then cured with a special light that shines through the Costa Rica porcelain veneers, drying the bonding cement and curing it in a few moments. The dentist will then trim the cement that may have leaked out and will make the final modifications to your porcelain veneers so that it does not compromise or interfere with bite patterns. Some dentists will request for you to return to the office a week after cosmetic dentistry porcelain veneers are installed to check for comfort and to see how your gums are responding to the tooth veneers. If you experience discomfort when biting or excessive sensitivity to heat or cold, ask your dentist about ways to deal with the thermal sensitivity while it resolves on its own. If well taken care of, tooth veneers could last in excess of ten years. However, biting hard surfaces or not taking care of oral hygiene as well as exposing dental veneers to excessive forces may result in the tooth veneers coming loose or breaking. Although porcelain veneers resist staining, cement on the edges may take stains, so be careful when drinking staining agents and brush properly to keep this from happening.
