Veneers are used to repair individual teeth and improve their appearance. Mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam has extensive experience placing veneers. Feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.
A veneer is a thin layer of composite or porcelain placed over the tooth. It has a natural white color and is firmly bonded to the tooth surface. Veneers can be used to close gaps between teeth, repair chipped teeth, or give your teeth a fresher, whiter appearance.
Veneers are often used to:
They are an excellent solution if you have one or more chipped teeth, missing teeth, or simply want a beautiful, even smile.
The veneer is first bonded to the tooth, and its shape can often still be adjusted afterward. At mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam, we are happy to help you with veneer placement. A veneer can be made of composite or porcelain. The color of the veneer is chosen to match your natural teeth or your desired shade.
Veneers can be used for two purposes:
Would you like to get veneers at mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam? You can choose between two materials: porcelain or composite. Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we are happy to explain them to you.
With an excellent rating on Google is mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam among the best-rated dental practices in Rotterdam.
With composite veneers, the dentist only needs to remove a very thin layer of the tooth surface. The result is immediately visible after treatment. Together with the dentist, you first choose the desired shade. The dentist can show you what the result will look like. A thin layer of the tooth is then shaved down to make space for the veneer.
Before bonding, the tooth is treated with an acid and an adhesive layer is applied. The soft composite is then shaped on the tooth, hardened with a special blue light, and finally polished for a natural result. You can immediately see the final look and request any small adjustments.
Porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory and are more resistant to staining. They are also slightly thicker than composite veneers. During your first appointment, you and the dentist choose the shade from color samples. The veneer is then custom-made in the dental lab.
At the second appointment, part of the tooth and enamel is removed to make room for the veneer. The tooth is then treated with acid and bonding agent before the porcelain veneer is permanently placed. Once bonded, porcelain veneers cannot be adjusted.
People choose veneers to improve discolored, chipped, crooked, or worn teeth. Veneers are also a popular solution for closing gaps between teeth (such as a diastema). They are a quick and effective way to upgrade your smile.
For composite veneers, we apply the material directly to your teeth. For porcelain veneers, we first make an impression and later bond the custom-made veneer. Both techniques are available in our Rotterdam dental practice.
No, not when they are placed properly. At mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam veneers are carefully applied with minimal removal of natural tooth structure. Occasionally, a small amount of enamel must be adjusted, but this is done safely and professionally.
In most cases, getting veneers is not painful. Local anesthesia is rarely needed for composite veneers. For porcelain veneers, a light anesthetic may be used if some enamel must be removed. At mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam we always ensure a comfortable treatment.
With composite veneers, drilling is usually not necessary. For porcelain veneers, a small amount of enamel is sometimes removed. During your consultation in Rotterdam, we will determine whether no-prep veneers are an option for you.
Brush and floss as usual. Avoid nail-biting and biting into very hard objects such as nuts, ice cubes, or pens.
Not if they are done properly. At mydent, hét mondzorgcentrum Rotterdam, we ensure a natural look that matches your face and wishes.
The cost depends on the material and the number of teeth treated:
They are usually not covered by basic insurance because they are considered cosmetic. Some supplementary insurance plans may partially reimburse the cost.
