How to get natural-looking veneers in Dubai
When considering dental veneers, one of the biggest concerns our patients at Cornerstone Clinic Dubai often have is that they may end up with a fake or unnatural-looking smile. The most important decision you will make when opting for dental veneers is choosing the dentist who performs your smile makeover. Our highly skilled cosmetic and general dentist, Dr. Carla Cyrino, has over 29 years of industry-leading experience and has dedicated her career to creating perfect smiles. So, whether you are looking to cover up a single imperfection or you want to transform your teeth with a full set of veneers, Dr. Carla Cyrino will take the time to discuss the results you are looking for and then create the perfect size, shape, and colour of veneers, leaving you with a natural-looking, perfect smile.
In this article, we have listed the top factors that create the most natural-looking veneers:
Shade selection
Dr. Carla will first discuss your expectations for the colour and shade of your new smile. While some people opt for a full set of veneers for a complete smile makeover, others visit us to simply cover a chipped or broken tooth. The colour is therefore of paramount importance. Dr. Carla will carefully match the colour of your veneer to the rest of your teeth, or you can choose a semi-translucent material like porcelain that will blend in with your natural tooth enamel. Some patients opt for teeth whitening prior to placing their veneers for maximum results, although it is not necessary. So, whether you are covering one tooth or opting for a full set of veneers, Dr. Carla will ensure that you receive the desired outcome that seamlessly blends with your existing teeth.
Tooth shape and size
The size and shape of the veneers are also very important, and precision is needed to carefully match your veneers with your natural tooth structure. Dr. Carla will consider factors such as proportion, symmetry, and even the shape of your face when designing and making recommendations for your new veneers. Creating the correct size and shape of veneers will play a big role in the overall results and creating a natural-looking, harmonious smile.
Translucency and texture
Natural teeth have a certain translucency to them, which means they allow light to pass through them and reflect off them. Replicating this effect in your veneers is important to achieve the most natural results. Additionally, adding subtle texture to the surface of the veneers can also help to mimic the natural irregularities found in your real teeth. Certain materials used for veneers are opaque, meaning they are one flat, solid colour. This will give them the appearance of being fake, as they will be much shinier and brighter than your normal teeth. In order to achieve natural-looking veneers, Dr. Carla will choose a material such as porcelain that is semi-translucent. This will allow light to pass through and reflect off of them the way it would on the natural surface of your teeth.
Dental materials
The material used for your veneers also plays a significant role in their appearance. Dr. Carla says that porcelain veneers are most commonly used when trying to create the most natural results. There are several factors that make porcelain veneers the most natural option. They are thin and translucent, making them perfect for blending in with the colour and shape of your natural teeth. They are also strong, robust, and long-lasting, which makes them highly resistant to staining, chipping, or cracking. Porcelain veneers are also biocompatible, meaning that they won’t have a negative impact on your gums, surrounding teeth, or other soft tissue in your mouth.
Gumline integration
Something you may not have considered is the way your veneers will blend with your gums; however, this too is highly important for creating the most natural-looking results. Dr. Carla will ensure that the veneers are placed precisely at the gumline, creating a seamless transition between the veneers and your natural gums.
Precision in placement
Another reason it is so important to choose a highly skilled and trained dentist such as Dr. Carla is the skill that is needed in placing the veneers, as this greatly impacts the final results. Dr. Carla pays close attention to detail, has meticulous bonding techniques, and ensures proper alignment of your veneers, ensuring the most natural-looking results.
Communication and collaboration
Lastly, Dr. Carla is well known for her patient care and communication skills. After practising for over 29 years, Dr. Carla knows the right questions to ask to help you achieve the results you desire. It is important to clearly express your expectations, preferences, and any concerns you may have so that Dr. Carla can then create the smile you have always wanted.
