What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They improve colour, shape, size and small gaps, and are commonly made from porcelain or composite resin. See also the ADA MouthHealthy guide to veneers.
How much do dental veneers cost in Thane?
The cost depends on how many teeth you are treating, whether you choose porcelain or composite, and the condition of your teeth. After an examination, we share a clear cost for your case.
Where can I get dental veneers in Thane?
You can get dental veneers at Dr Rai’s Dental Avenue in Majiwada, Thane West. We offer consultation, smile planning, porcelain and composite veneers, and follow-up care.
Are dental veneers painful?
Local anaesthesia is used when needed. You may feel pressure during preparation, and mild tooth sensitivity for a few days afterwards is common.
How long do dental veneers last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years, and composite veneers often 5 to 7 years. Habits like teeth grinding or biting hard objects can shorten their life.
How long does the veneer procedure take?
Most cases need two to three visits over a few weeks. Porcelain veneers take longer because they are made in a lab, while composite veneers can often be completed faster.
Are veneers permanent, and do they damage teeth?
Veneers are a long-term option but may need replacing in time, and porcelain veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed, which cannot be reversed. We explain this before treatment so you can decide with full information.
Who is a good candidate for dental veneers?
Adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to correct colour, chips, gaps or uneven shape are good candidates. Active gum disease, untreated decay or heavy teeth grinding should be addressed first.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
A veneer covers only the front of a tooth and removes less of it, while a crown covers the whole tooth. Crowns suit badly damaged or weak teeth, and veneers suit cosmetic improvements.
How do I take care of dental veneers?
Brush twice a day, floss daily and visit your dentist for regular checkups. Avoid biting hard objects and nails, and limit tea, coffee and tobacco, which can stain the edges of veneers.
