With a skill and craftsmanship that lives up to its artistic namesake, Da Vinci veneers have become one of America’s most trusted brands and have even featured on ABC’s program Extreme Makeover. These veneers will also blend in with your teeth for a natural bright smile.
What are dental veneers, generally?
Before we get to subtle variants, let’s explain the basic concept: Dental veneers are very thin layers of material which are applied to your teeth so as to give the impression of a perfect, uniform smile. A common analogy in the dental industry is to like veneers to false nails (except veneers are for your teeth).
What can veneers be used to treat?
Well, they pretty much cover up your natural teeth, so, in a sense, anything that can be concealed: Stains, chips, discoloration and gaps, all of these problems can be treated with veneers. In fact, the only thing they aren’t best suited for is orthodontic treatment and, in some cases, they can even be used there: In a process nicknamed ‘instant orthodontics,’ minor misalignments can be covered up just like all the other problems previously mentioned.
What is so special about Da Vinci veneers?
Well, the Da Vinci labs in California claim that: their veneers are thinner than normal ones, are highly resistant to permanent staining, have a more natural look than your standard veneer and, during the initial treatment, don’t even require an anaesthetic when being placed.
Getting them fitted
Following an initial consultation, during which you may be shown a digital preview of yourself with said veneers fitted, an appointment will be booked so you can be prepped for treatment. So as to accommodate your veneers, your teeth will be buffed so as to remove 0.5 millimetres of tooth surface. An impression of your teeth will then be taken and sent to the Da Vinci lab in California. It takes roughly two weeks for your veneers to arrive and, during that wait, you will be fitted with temporary veneers. Once they arrive, your dentist will double check their colour and fit, and, if you are satisfied, will then cement them in to place! At this stage, their colour can still be adjusted, so speak up if you aren’t happy!
