Knowledge is power
We all remember the famous “Here in my garage” YouTube ads from the controversial Tai Lopez, where he claimed to have read a vast number of books.
Surprisingly, he had a point with that specific line—the more knowledge you acquire, the less likely you are to make mistakes and overpay for things.
One of our goals with this platform is not only to elevate the overall standards of oral health and cosmetic dentistry but also to inform people about the availability of new technologies and procedures. We aim to ensure that everyone takes full advantage of the latest advancements in dental care.
Veneers are an effective way to straighten crooked, discolored, or malformed teeth In simpler terms, veneers are thin shells that are placed over the teeth to improve the aesthetics and color of teeth
There are two main types of veneers: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant, while composite veneers are less expensive subsequently less stain resistant and durable.
It's okay, these things happen. Try to save the veneer and contact your dentist immediately. Your dentist will assess the situation and either reattach the veneer or design a new one for you as soon as possible.
No. it is actually one of the easiest procedures to do in a dental clinic, no Anastasia, needles, drilling etc.
The timeframe for getting porcelain veneers can vary. Typically, the process takes a few weeks. However, thanks to our lab's exceptional efficiency, we can often complete the procedure within a few days.
Surface stains are significantly reduced on porcelain as its material is more stain resistant however, stains can still happen by food, drinks, tobacco, coffee, cigars etc. the way to minimize stains is by upkeeping with your teeth and keeping a healthy hygiene. see our maintenance guide for more info.
The short answer is in most cases yes, the long answer is with new technology we are doing what's called Micro shaving which isn't noticeable and doesn't require Anastasia also doesn't go nearly enough to touch the enamel but is just about enough to have the veneer stick solid. We believe strongly in preserving natural teeth and go above and beyond to avoid shaving.
Not necessarily but after a while neglecting the maintenance you will start seeing darker shades especially on the edges between the teeth , see our maintenance guide for more info.
