If you have been considering dental veneers to restore your smile, you should talk to your dentist. There are other cosmetic dentistry options to repair chips and cracks. Bioclear® is a technique that more and more dentists are using. In some ways, it is like a veneer, but there are differences as well. Bioclear could be a good treatment for your teeth, whether you have chips and cracks, or whether you want to change their shape or appearance in any way.
A dental veneer is a thin porcelain shell that the dentist attaches to the front of the tooth. To do this, the dentist must remove portions of the tooth, including some enamel. The dentist will also etch the tooth to make it rough so that the veneer can bond effectively. Veneers are strong and durable and can last for up to 10 years. However, they are prone to chipping and cracking.
People who are looking for a non-invasive treatment will like what Bioclear offers. While dental veneers require reshaping of the tooth, Bioclear does not need any grinding or shaving of the tooth. The enamel will stay on the tooth, and the dentist will use composite instead of porcelain. The dentist uses this clear plastic and wraps it around either side of the tooth. This creates the shape the patient wants. In and around the tooth is composite.
With the proper care and attention, Bioclear can last more than 10 years. The material is durable and can stand up to wear and tear. People who have Bioclear veneers can eat most foods. It is important to continue brushing the veneer.
A blow to the face or biting into something such as a utensil can break, crack, or chip the dental veneers. Repairing a chipped porcelain veneer is difficult. Fixing a cracked or broken one is impossible. However, if the same issues occur to Bioclear veneer, the dentist can add to the composite and build it up again.
Getting porcelain veneers requires the patient to come into the office for at least two visits. At the first visit, the dentist will take X-rays and make impressions of the teeth. Using these images, the dentist will have a technician fabricate the porcelain veneer. This process can take a few weeks. However, with Bioclear, the dentist can make the veneer right in the office immediately after making the impression. The entire process will usually take around an hour.
Porcelain dental veneers are not the only way you can restore your smile and repair the blemishes of your teeth. Talk to your dentist today about whether you are a good candidate for Bioclear. You will enjoy this faster, longer-lasting approach to reforming your tooth. Make an appointment so you can get started on this effective procedure.
