Went to see a gynae, got promised to get my results in 2 weeks (which is already long), never got my test results back even after I called because there was always some excuse. Yet they wasted no time

I get that they’re a private business - but you’d think they’d care more about people’s lives because of the type of business they’re in. Be very careful if you decide to take a loved one to

The only reason why this isn't getting 5 stars is due to the parking. Since I've started going there seem to be more doctors and so parking has become an issue especially if you park in the narrow bay

Dental veneers are thin covers that are attached to the surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. The non-invasive dentral procedure is previously popular among those with damaged or discolored teeth. Nowadays, however, the procedure is seen as the ideal method of achieving the ‘perfect smile.'
Veneers can be used to hide uneven, misaligned or simply imperfect teeth. The veneers are cemented over the existing teeth and fixed into place – there are two main types of veneer; Porcelain and Composite. Porcelain veneers are more expensive and appear more natural, being made in a laboratory so require multiple visits. There is often the need to alter the existing teeth, removing some of the mass. Composite veneers are made of the same materials used for cavity fillings. They can usually be made quickly, and are sculpted directly on the teeth instead of in a laboratory. Thus allowing the procedure to be done in a day.
What's the Recovery Time for Veneers Procedures in Cape Town?
There is actually no recovery time after the placement of your veneers. You can also return back to your daily routines including exercise immediately after your trip. As for the enamel removal, you may experience some mild discomfort for about a week. It is best that you avoid very hot or cold foods, including hard, chewy or crunchy food. When your sensitivity wears off, you can return to your normal dietary habits.
What's the Success Rate of Veneers Procedures in Cape Town?
Over the past years, many studies have reported that over 91% of people who have had dental veneers experienced highly positive results. However, potential risks and side effects after undergoing this procedure are a possibility. Just like any other dental restoration, dental veneers can have some side-effects, for example:
- Tooth sensitivity - since this procedure will require the removal of some enamel, your teeth will become slightly sensitive, following the placement of your veneers.
- Response from gum tissues - your gum tissue might take some time to adjust to your newly placed veneers. Expect to have some minor inflammation and/or discomfort in your gums.
- Risk of trauma - once your teeth’s enamel is removed, it will become more sensitive, thus it will be even possible for the pulp within your teeth to die.
- Possible Issues with placement - it's possible for your teeth to have issues with decay or chipping along the outer portion of your veneers. Gum irritation may also be possible. Other problems may include rough-edged veneers and overhanging veneers.
- Overall Discomfort - experiencing some discomfort after the procedure is to be expected. If you are particularly sensitive, it is advisable that you take an over the counter medication to help you relax and treat your pain.
