Dental Tooth Veneers in Singapore

Tired of your stained, chipped or discoloured teeth? Get yourself a smile makeover with dental veneers – one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments that can restore and improve your smile. Veneers, thin custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials, are an excellent option for enhancing the appearance of your teeth.

When a tooth is structurally sound but discoloured or misshapen, both porcelain veneers and composite veneers can be made to restore your smile to its original healthy brightness. Teeth veneers are typically applied on the front teeth rather than the back molars. Inlays and onlays are used to repair your back teeth.

Dental veneers are seamlessly designed to blend in with adjacent teeth and feel like your own natural teeth.  Designed to cover the front surface of teeth, veneers are custom-made shells fitted over the front surfaces of teeth to create a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing appearance. They’re made from porcelain or composite resin material that is strong enough to withstand biting and chewing.

Veneers cannot replace a lost tooth. But if you’re ready to see a straighter, brighter smile within weeks, tooth veneers might be your cosmetic alternative. TEETH @ Tiong Bahru Dental Clinic offers high-quality veneer dentistry services in Singapore at competitive prices.

Benefits of Veneers to Cosmetically Correct Your Smile

Composite or porcelain veneers may be the perfect solution if your teeth are structurally sound but discoloured, chipped or slightly misshapen. They require less tooth surface removal than dental crowns and can disguise many aesthetic problems, including spacing and mild teeth misalignments.

All forms of veneers are permanent, meaning they cannot be removed once bonded into place. If you have cavities or gum disease, you should look to restorative dental care treatments rather than veneers.

There are a variety of materials and types of veneers to choose from, including:

1. Porcelain Veneers
   Porcelain Veneers are the most aesthetically pleasing, toughest and most durable veneer materials. They are a long-term option that requires only minor tooth shaving before bonding. Dental porcelain veneers are extremely biocompatible, which means they rarely harm the gum tissues and other soft tissues in the mouth. As porcelain is so natural-looking, these veneers can drastically improve the appearance of your smile.

2. Composite Veneers

Composite Veneers are made of composite resin, an inorganic and organic material blend. The filler is the principal inorganic substance in composite resin. Composite resin veneers have the same bonding substance as tooth-coloured dental fillings. While sturdy, composite veneers are not as long-lasting as porcelain veneers.

Removable Veneers are temporarily provided while your new porcelain or composite veneers are fabricated. As they snap onto the teeth, removable veneers should not be used regularly or as a long-term dental remedy. While practical, removable veneers do not appear as natural as permanent veneers. They are also more prone to plaque buildup and may cause gum tissue damage if worn too regularly over time.

3. Cosmetic Veneers Dental Process

When embarking on aesthetic treatments, our dentists will first create a digital mock-up of the intended result for you. This is very important because the changes to your smile may be dramatic. You may only be able to visually realise what your smile will look like when you see a 3D real-time digital impression on a screen.

You may also want to wear provisional temporary veneers before you confirm your choice, as veneers cannot be removed once they have been bonded onto the tooth. This allows you and our dental team to make minor adjustments before the final veneers are fabricated.

Once you have decided that veneers are the right fit for you, the procedure begins with the application of a local anaesthetic to numb just the tooth area for the procedure. Our clinic always applies a surface numbing gel before giving the local anaesthetic injection for almost pain-free analgesia. If you have any concerns regarding analgesia, simply let our dental team know at any time before the treatment.

Preparation involves trimming the surface of the teeth. Impressions are then taken, and temporary veneers are fabricated. Your temporary veneer will be removed when the dental laboratory returns your final veneers. The porcelain or composite resin veneer will then be bonded to the tooth.
