Whether you just need to fix a chipped tooth or completely transform your smile, veneers are a popular, effective, and—unfortunately for most people—very expensive option.
However, if you're planning a trip to Southeast Asia, you can save thousands on this treatment with affordable veneers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Keep reading to find out more about veneers and discover where to get them at some of our background-checked clinics in this vibrant city.
What Are Veneers?
If you want to cover certain flaws of your teeth, such as their size, shape, or colour, veneers can definitely help. These thin slivers of tooth-like materials are used to disguise those flaws, allowing you to smile with confidence again.
Veneers are tailor-made and positioned on the front side of the teeth (the visible side) and are bonded onto the teeth, hiding the original tooth and presenting a beautiful, pleasing alternative.
They can be used to fix the appearance of a single tooth or multiple teeth. For instance, for a full smile makeover, six or eight may be used on both rows (i.e. the teeth most visible when you smile).
How Are Veneers Applied?
Getting veneers is relatively easy, as long as you book in with a reputable clinic. First, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth, and those impressions are sent to the laboratory to guide the creation of your custom-made veneers.
When you return for the second appointment, the veneers are positioned to fit and when satisfied, the veneers are cemented to the tooth.
Note: If you are just getting one or two veneers made, some clinics may have their own on-site facilities that can manufacture the veneers in just a few hours, thus allowing you to start and finish treatment on the same day,
What Should I Expect in Ho Chi Minh?
Ho Chi Minh City is famous for the Saigon River running wide across the city, by the waters during sunset. Dine on a cruise ship navigating the River while enjoying the beautiful twinkling of the city lights, or by the waterside in Luc Binh, or relish the French-styled Refinery restaurant.
