Veneers have long been trusted as the go-to cosmetic solution to address several different types of flaws with a single procedure. Originally crafted from ceramic and porcelain, these restorations are now able to conceal flaws using a new type of dental technology, called Bioclear. With the ability to achieve similar results as traditional veneers, Bioclear veneers are less invasive, offering patients a solution for damaged and discolored teeth that doesn’t involve altering their permanent dental structure. Read on to learn more about the difference between these two types of veneers to find out which one is best for you.
What Are Bioclear Veneers?
Veneers are thin sheaths that are typically crafted from tooth-colored, high-quality porcelain or ceramic. They can be placed over the visible surface of teeth to conceal chips, discoloration, and even slight misalignment, among other imperfections.
Instead of using ceramic or porcelain, Bioclear veneers are made from custom-shaded composite resin that requires no preparation of your natural teeth and can be completed within a single visit to your cosmetic dentist. This makes them a great option for patients who are on the fence about making a lifelong commitment to getting permanent veneers.
How Are Bioclear Veneers Different from Porcelain Veneers?
Bioclear veneers are different from porcelain veneers in the fact that they require no preparation of your natural teeth. When you get traditional veneers, a small portion of your tooth enamel must be removed to accommodate the thickness of the porcelain or ceramic. This will allow your veneers to lay flush with surrounding teeth, making them look natural.
Bioclear veneers require little-to-no preparation of your tooth enamel, making the treatment reversible and allowing it to be completed within a single visit. Additionally, they’re able to be easily removed and replaced, meaning if they become damaged or at any point you decide you no longer want them, you can have the procedure reversed by your dentist.
The Benefits of Choosing Bioclear Veneers
Bioclear veneers offer a variety of benefits, including:
- Minimally Invasive: No need to alter your healthy tooth enamel, which won’t grow back or repair itself once it’s removed.
- Cost-Effective: Bioclear is more affordable than traditional porcelain crowns and veneers.
- Great Treatment for Black Triangles Between Teeth: Effectively address black triangles between teeth, which can lead to plaque and food debris build-up.
- Reversible: No commitment to replace your veneers down the road if you don’t want to.
- Immediate Results: No need to wait for a laboratory to craft porcelain or ceramic veneers. Enjoy results right after your appointment.
- Long-Lasting: The ability to last for up to 10 years.
With so many advantages, it’s no wonder why patients are turning to Bioclear veneers over traditional restorations to rebuild and rejuvenate their smiles!
