It is one of the most trusted cosmetic procedure that can enhance your teeth in just one or two appointments. They are also considered to be the most natural looking option to conceal imperfections on your teeth. The procedure of porcelain veneers in the Philippines does not differ that much to the ones being done outside the country. Aside from dental tourism, having porcelain veneers done here in the Philippines allows you to somehow be saved from the costs. Whether you are interested in getting porcelain veneers or you have it already and want to know more about the process, in this article, we will be explaining to you the procedure or process for porcelain veneers. 1. Consultation and Treatment Planning In every first step of any procedure, consulting your doctor is the number one thing you are going to do. This also involves YOU explaining to your dentist the result that you want to achieve. Your dentist will examine your teeth during the appointment to see if dental veneers are appropriate for you. Then, they will discuss the procedure. Your dentist may also take X-rays and possibly make impressions of your mouth and teeth. 2. Preparation Your dentist will remove about 0.5 millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface in preparation for your veneer. This 0.5 millimeter is nearly equal to the thickness of the veneer that will be added to the tooth surface. Don’t worry about the pain since your dentist will be applying a local anesthetic to numb the area before trimming off the enamel. Next, your doctor will make an impression of your teeth. The model will be sent out to a dental laboratory which will construct your veneer. It usually takes 2-4 weeks for your dentist to receive your veneers from the laboratory. 3. Placing the Veneer Your dentist will temporarily place your veneers on your teeth to examine if it’s fit and will check the color before he/she permanently cements it to your teeth. They might do this a couple of times to achieve the proper fit. Your teeth will then be prepared to receive the veneer by cleaning, polishing, and etching. A special cement is applied to the veneer and the veneer will be placed on your teeth. Your dentist will then apply a special light beam to quicken the drying process of the cement. The final steps involve removing any excess cement, evaluating your bite, and making any final adjustments on the veneers when needed. Your dentist might ask you to come back in two weeks for a follow up in order to know how your gums are responding to your veneers. Simple, easy, and time-efficient! In just a few visits, you can finally achieve pearly white, healthy looking, and shiny teeth! Are you interested to know more about porcelain veneers? Contact us today!

]]> 5 Misconceptions About Porcelain Veneers https://elevatedental.ph/misconceptions-about-porcelain-veneers/ Thu, 20 Sep 2018 03:36:27 +0000 https://www.casipitdentalgroup.com/casipitdentalgroup/?p=17921 Some people are scared of going to the dentist even when it comes to minor dental procedures. Porcelain Veneers are a quick and safe way to makeover your smile. It is one of the most preferred procedure by people that are looking for an easy way to have perfect teeth. When people say that it’s easy, quick, and safe, they won’t prevent the spread of misconceptions about porcelain veneers. This effective cosmetic procedure is a simple, yet effective dental solution. There are many misconceptions about Porcelain Veneers because of other people’s lack of familiarity. Therefore, it is best to research about the procedure that will be done to you. In this article, we’ll break down to you some talked about misconceptions about Porcelain Veneers. 1. The Procedure is Painful The application of porcelain veneers is a painless procedure. Veneers are applied after the patient is given local anesthetic. The preparations and applications of veers are generally pain free. 2. You Only Need Veneers on Your Front Teeth Porcelain Veneers are commonly being applied on the most visible parts of the teeth, specifically the front of the six teeth. They can also be applied to the pre-molars and molars and even to the less visible bottom teeth. 3. The Entire Tooth Will Be Filed Down This is the biggest misconception that scares people and is far from truth. Only a very thin layer of the enamel is being filed, but it is very minimal to be noticed. Teeth filing is done so that the veneers will lay flat on the surface of the teeth without sticking out. 4. Veneers Look Unnatural In early ages, veneers were bulkier and thicker. They tend to have an unnatural shine and some of them were just too white to look like natural teeth. With today’s modern time, many improvements have been made as technology progressed. 5. Porcelain Veneers Will Make Your Teeth Sensitive Permanent veneers do not cause sensitivity, if there is, it will be minimal and will gradually go away within a few weeks. If you are suffering from sensitivity because of thinning enamel, the veneers may improve the situation.   Porcelain Veneers are a great solution not just for cosmetic dental problems, but it can help other oral health issues. If your teeth are discolored, chipped, crooked, or stained, they can be corrected through Porcelain Laminate Veneers.
