Uneven or filed surfaces, missing pieces of tooth: tooth wear has unfortunate effects on your smile and your everyday comfort. Established in Lyon Part-Dieu since 1999 and specializing in implantology and smile aesthetics, Studio Dentaire offers you a simple, effective solution: repairing worn teeth with veneers.
Before considering restoration of worn teeth, your dental surgeon should examine your mouth to determine the origin of the problem. This will help to combat the causes of enamel wear, and thus halt its progress.Dental enamel is the protective layer of teeth. Located on the surface, it is subjected to numerous stresses, not to mention the natural wear and tear of age. Its gradual disappearance leads to a weakening of the tooth itself, accompanied by hypersensitivity to cold or heat, and pain when brushing or chewing… When teeth are very damaged, they are also more easily the target of cavities, and favor the onset of gum or periodontal disease. Tooth wear can have mechanical causes (over-energetic brushing, misalignment of the jaws, bruxism) or chemical causes (excessive acid levels in the mouth). Depending on the case, your practitioner will give you personalized advice. He may also prescribe the use of an anti-bruxism mouthpiece if you suffer from this disorder. Once the causes of the problem have been identified, your dentist can suggest solutions to restore enamel.
A veneer is a thin film of ceramic that is bonded to the damaged area to mask the defect. Dental veneers correct the appearance of teeth: they are therefore indicated in cases of abrasion, yellowing or excessive spacing.
Veneers are particularly suitable when you have a complex about the appearance of your teeth. They enable you to change the size, shape or color of one or more teeth, completely invisibly. This treatment can even be used in the case of slight fractures.
At Studio Dentaire, we’re committed to taking a holistic, collaborative approach to your oral health. That’s why every aesthetic dental procedure goes through several stages:
Quick and painless, the procedure itself is performed in the office and requires only a light anesthetic. Your dentist prepares the tooth – without devitalizing it – by lightly reshaping it to accommodate the veneer.
Veneers are suitable for light to moderate corrections to the appearance of teeth. In the case of severely worn, decayed or decayed teeth, your dentist can refer you to other types of dental restoration. Inlays, onlays and overlays differ in size and are made of ceramic composite or porcelain.
For personalized dental care and friendly support, trust Studio Dentaire in Lyon.
