Everyone is entitled to a beautiful smile. With the use of porcelain veneers, our staff at Dental One in Coste del Este, Panama City, can restore your smile. These thin shell-like covers are placed on the front portion of your teeth to discreetly hide any imperfections, including teeth that appear misshapen, chipped, or discoloured.
One concern regarding porcelain veneers is their colour and whether they would be more brilliant than your natural teeth. To ensure that your porcelain veneers maintain consistency with your natural teeth or any desired appearance, we can produce a hue that matches the rest of your teeth for your veneers.
Dental Veneers in Panama City
What colour are veneers?
To determine the ideal size and shape of the dental veneer, our cosmetic dentist creates an impression of your teeth. After that, we may assess the overall shade of your teeth to decide which veneer shade would best complement your smile. Porcelain can be painted in a variety of white hues, including one that complements the rest of your teeth.
Once the veneer is prepared, we will then trim a little portion of enamel from your native tooth. The trimmed region will be covered by the veneer, which will be secured in place by dental cement.
Can veneers change colour over time?
If properly cared for, a Dental One porcelain veneer can last several years.
Even while the porcelain material is more stain-resistant than your natural enamel, damage to the veneer still has the potential to cause it to change colour. By applying too much pressure, for instance, you could damage the cover surface. Any alterations to your natural teeth could also have a detrimental effect on the veneer’s appearance by making it appear brighter than the surrounding teeth.
Maintaining the aesthetic quality of your veneers without drawing attention to them requires proper dental care. To preserve your smile and prevent your teeth from becoming darker, make sure to brush your teeth twice a day and schedule routine dental cleanings every four to six months.
An improvement compared to bonding
Dental veneers may be a better option than dental bonding in many circumstances since porcelain does not change colour. While a bonding agent can restore a tooth’s original shape, the bonding substance won’t change colour the way a tooth’s natural tooth might, which could lead to discoloured patches. For many people, a veneer is a more suitable and practical alternative because it covers the tooth and produces a more natural-looking appearance without those stains.

How do veneers work?
Veneers cover the front surfaces of your teeth to enhance your smile. They work by camouflaging cosmetic flaws.
Who needs dental veneers?
Anyone who wants to enhance the appearance of their smile can explore veneers. These dental restorations can camouflage:
-Chipped or broken teeth.
-Diastema (gaps or spaces in your smile).
-Stains that don’t improve with teeth whitening.
-Teeth that are too small.
-Missshapen teeth.
It’s important to note that veneers are only an option if you’re free of extensive cavities and gum disease. If you have serious oral health issues, you should address those first before exploring cosmetic treatments.
What Are The Different Types Of Veneers?
There are two main types of dental veneers available: composite resin or porcelain. The best material for you to use for your veneers depends on your individual desires and budget.
Composite Resin Veneers
Composite resin veneers are usually placed on the tooth in just one appointment. Once the tooth has been reshaped for the veneer, the dentist bonds and shapes the composite material to best match your teeth. A special light is then used to harden the material and the veneer is smoothed to look like a natural tooth.
While these are a more affordable option than porcelain veneers, they last 4-8 years and require more maintenance as they are more prone to chipping.
