Smile Designing

Smile design using composites is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that involves the use of tooth-coloured composite materials to improve the appearance of a person's smile. The procedure typically involves the reshaping and re-contouring of the teeth, as well as the application of composite materials to fill in gaps, chips, and other imperfections. 

The goal of the procedure is to create a natural-looking, symmetrical, and attractive smile. 

Smile designing using veneers is a cosmetic dental procedure that can enhance the appearance of your teeth and give you a beautiful, confident smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of your teeth to improve their shape, colour, and overall appearance.

Veneers are typically made from either porcelain or composite resin material. 

• PORCELAIN VENEERS are made from a thin layer of porcelain that is colored to match your natural teeth. They are strong and durable, and can resist staining better than composite veneers. 
• COMPOSITE VENEERS, on the other hand, are made from a mixture of plastic and glass. They are less expensive than porcelain veneers and can be applied in a single office visit.

The process of getting veneers typically involves several steps. 

• The process of designing your smile with veneers typically begins with a consultation with your dentist. During this appointment, your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss your goals for your smile. They will also take impressions of your teeth and photographs to use as a guide for creating your custom veneers.
• Then, your dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. 
• Impressions of your teeth will then be taken and sent to a dental laboratory where the veneers will be custom-made to fit your teeth. 
• Once the veneers are ready, you will return to the dentist to have them bonded to your teeth. 
• Your dentist will check the fit and colour of the veneers and make any necessary adjustments. 
• The veneers will then be bonded to your teeth using a special dental cement.

Veneers are a great option for people who want to improve the appearance of their teeth but don't want to go through more invasive procedures like crowns or orthodontics. They are also a good option for people who have sensitive teeth and can't use teeth whitening products.

It's important to note that veneers are not a suitable option for everyone, and they are not a permanent solution. They may need to be replaced after a certain period of time, usually around 10-15 years. It is important to consult with a dental specialist to determine if veneers are the best option for you, as well as the cost, benefits and risk involved in the treatment.

1. Complexity of the case - The cost may go up in severly compromised tooth  structures where additional procedures may have to be performed to restore the tooth strength.
2. Type of material used - Ceramic Veneers are more expensive than Composite Veneers. Also, there is a wide range of Ceramic Veneers based on the quality desired.
