With my veneers almost ten years old and them causing my gums some iritation my dentist has been telling for a for a couple of years I needed to replace my Veneers. Reluntantly I could wait no longer and so arranged the visit to get them done. Friday!
From 1000 - 1800 it would be just me at the Dentist. Firstly, after a shot of Lignacain he drilled the first he marked up my gums ready for the Gum realignment. Marking where he would not touch with a marker pen. Placing a device to hold my lips open in my mouth he used a lazer to hand shape my new gum line ready for my new shaped teeth.
Once the gums were done and another shot of anasthetic he drilled the first old veneer off, quite painless, but it left the teeth sensitive and thus the lignacain.
Once the first old was off he began to design the new one which the diamond encrusted lazer cut while we waited. Meanwhile they got me a coffee and a computer with internet access.
This was repeated until all four were carved and ready. Even though he scrapped one to start again. Quite the perfectionist my dentist.
Finally they were ready to clean my real teeth and glue the veneers to them. It was preety painless and I cant believe they managed to match my real teeth colour almost 100%.
The gums need a little healing for a few days and I have to wash them with anasthetic for a week, but all in all, job is done. I cant believe I was in and out in a day and didnt need to go away and wait two weeks while the new ones were made! Way to go dental Spa. Thanks Dr Rojan.
