A dental emergency is an urgent dental problem, usually associated with the teeth and jaws, which may have symptoms that require immediate attention by a dentist. For example, a severe dental infection, a visible swelling, or a recent dental trauma are all considered emergency problems that require prompt, professional attention.

Dental veneers
​

When your teeth look unappealing due to visual or structural flaws, they require immediate attention. These flaws can prevent you from smiling, talking, and socializing freely. In a lot of cases, dental veneers can be the best solution to conceal oral imperfections.

What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, wafer-like chips or covers that are placed over the damaged front tooth or multiple teeth over the visible surface of teeth. Veneers don’t necessarily solve dental issues such as decays, but they cover and protect all the imperfections and tuck them below. These coverings are attached to your natural tooth with the help of dental resin and hardened using UV light.

Dental veneers can correct a wide range of dental issues, such as:

• Discoloured or stained teeth
• Worn down teeth
• Chipped or fractured teeth
• Cracked teeth
• Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
• Teeth with minor gaps between them

With proper care and maintenance, dental veneers can last for about 7-15 years, or even more. Dental veneers are made of either porcelain or composite resin material. Both of these have different set of advantages.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers:

1. They are strong and long-lasting,
2. They have a natural-looking surface,
3. Less tooth enamel needs to be removed than with a crown or cap, and
4. They don’t stain easily.

Benefits of Composite Resin Veneers:

1. Less tooth enamel needs to be removed than for crowns or porcelain veneers,
2. May require fewer visits to the dentist - sometimes these veneers take just one visit,
3. They cost less than porcelain veneers, and
4. They are easy to fix if they get damaged.
