If you have chips, stains, or gaps between teeth, Porcelain Veneers can give you an amazing smile!
Smiles are one of the first things people notice when you are hoping to make a great first impression, yet even with the best at-home care, it may not always be possible to put your best face forward.
Crooked, gapped, and stained teeth can all lead some people to hide their smiles and feel uncomfortable in social situations. Fortunately, porcelain veneers are available to help strengthen and brighten your teeth while maintaining a natural appearance that will have you flashing those pearly whites at everyone you meet.
By blending art and science, many patients have been delighted with the results of veneers. Veneers can last for years and are resistant to staining. They look and feel natural, offer strength and durability, cost less than other options, and renew your image!
Ceramic veneers are ideal for correcting a variety of dental issues that include the following:
In addition to correcting these issues, veneers offer numerous benefits that make them a superior choice to other dental restoration options. For example, porcelain veneers can give teeth with stains that resist traditional whitening treatments a brighter appearance. They are also a more conservative alternative to crowns because they require less of the enamel to be removed.
The process of getting veneers begins with an assessment of your teeth and your current satisfaction with the appearance of your smile, allowing a treatment plan to be created. During this time, dental patients are encouraged to be involved in the planning process to ensure they are happy with the final results. Once the planning has been decided, the tooth will be prepared for the veneers. Preparing the teeth is a simple procedure that involves lightly buffing the surface of the tooth to compensate for the thickness of the veneer. For ceramic veneers, a mold will then be taken of the tooth and sent to the lab for fabrication.Once your porcelain veneer has been returned, the dentist will spend some time placing it on your tooth to ensure it is a good fit. This is also an ideal opportunity for you to inspect the appearance of your new veneer before it is permanently in place. If all is well with the veneer, the dentist will then cleanse the tooth with special chemicals to prepare it for bonding. Then, the veneer will be affixed to the tooth with a special type of cement. Finally, a light beam will be used to harden the cement.
One of the greatest benefits of veneers is that they are very similar to natural teeth in terms of maintenance. With your new veneers in place, you may experience some slight sensitivity in the first few days. However, that should only be temporary. Porcelain veneers are quite strong, but you will still need to avoid the same habits that damage teeth, such as nail biting and chewing on pencils. Regular tooth brushing and flossing habits can be resumed immediately following the placement, and these habits will help keep your veneers looking their best.Correcting crooked and stained teeth is a simple process with veneers. Patients who opt for this type of restoration often find that it can significantly enhance their smile while correcting common dental imperfections. If you’re looking for a minimally invasive solution to improve your appearance, then ceramic veneers may be just what you need to give your smile a lift.
