Veneers Alternative – Benefits of Bioclear for a Cosmetic Smile Makeover

Dental veneers continue to be a common method used in cosmetic dentistry to treat various tooth flaws. People get veneers to cover stains, correct misshapen teeth, and conceal chips and cracks. However, a veneer is not the only method of achieving these goals. More and more patients are learning about Bioclear^® and how it can restore smiles in a less invasive way. Your dentist can help you understand this process and its advantages.

The Bioclear procedure

Bioclear has similarities to and differences from traditional dental veneers. Like getting a veneer, the process starts with a consultation with the dentist, who will explain how getting Bioclear will work. The dentist starts the process by etching the affected tooth and placing a thin layer of mylar around it. Next, heated composite resin is placed on the tooth, flowing around the mylar. The dentist then cures the composite, and it hardens. If there is any roughness on the tooth or misshapen areas, the dentist will smooth them.

Keep the enamel

When a patient gets veneers, the dentist must remove part of the enamel. The dentist also shaves part of the tooth so the veneer will fit properly. Neither of these is necessary with Bioclear, however. The advantage here is that the patient can keep the healthy tooth. It also makes the procedure less invasive.

Fewer trips to the dentist’s office

Getting dental veneers can take a few trips to the dentist’s office. Aside from a consultation appointment, there is another one where the dentist does the preparatory work. Because the veneer is made at an off-site lab and takes a week or two to fabricate, another appointment is necessary to finish the process. People who do Bioclear love that multiple visits are not necessary. The dentist can complete the process in a single visit. Most trips will take around an hour.

Longer-lasting

Getting a smile makeover can help a person have more self-esteem and an improved self-image. Veneers can help a patient maintain this new smile for several years. With diligent care, a veneer can last up to 10 years. Bioclear offers even more longevity. Its effectiveness and life span depend on different factors, but people can expect a successful process to work for more than a decade.

Cost-effective

Getting a new smile does require a financial commitment. Patients who get veneers or Bioclear for cosmetic reasons will not likely get help from the dental insurance company. However, it is comforting for patients to know that they will pay less for Bioclear. If the treatment is also for health reasons, the individual may get insurance coverage too.

Try something other than dental veneers

If you have physical damage to your teeth or other problems that affect your smile, consider Bioclear. Ask your dentist today if this treatment is available. It is clear to see that this alternative to a veneer has several benefits. You can get a new smile faster and without as much hassle.
