What are Dental Veneers?

They are exactly what they say – a veneer of very thin laminate which is fitted over the tooth. The beauty of them, is that they can be fitted really quickly with very little discomfort.

What are the advantages of Dental Veneers?

They are so effective that sometimes they can be used instead of orthodontic treatment if you have teeth that are out of position. For many this is a great option as orthodontic treatment is slow and braces are uncomfortable, as well as unsightly.

They are a conservative dental procedure, requiring only the minimal of tooth reduction on the front, unlike crowns which requires the tooth to be filed down

Requiring only a minimal amount of tooth reduction on the front side of the tooth, they are a conservative treatment, unlike a crown which requires the tooth to be filed down considerably for the crown to fit.

How long do dental veneers take in Kata Beach?

The treatment can be completed in a day or two if your clinic has an on-site laboratory. However, for the majority of people it usually takes around 4 days – the first and last day at your dentist and the lab work taking place on your custom-made veneers on the days between.

What does the procedure for dental veneers in Kata Beach entail?

At your first appointment the dentist will prepare your tooth by removing a very thin sliver of enamel from the front of the tooth. Impressions of your teeth will also be taken and sent to the lab. You may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold until your new veneer is placed, but it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable.

On your next appointment the veneer will be fixed in place with a light-sensitive resin which hardens using a special white light.

Your dental veneers are very strong once fixed in place - and will usually cope with most of the forces exerted on them by a normal diet.
