When you have a number of cosmetic issues with the appearance of your smile, we want to correct them so you can smile with confidence. With porcelain veneers, our team can offer major improvement and address several concerns at once. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about placing porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Potential of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are very thin dental restorations that we attach to the front-facing sides of the teeth. When in place, they instantly change the appearance and beauty of your smile, so you can receive a smile makeover in as little as two visits. For example, placement instantly masks permanent teeth stains and also closes embarrassing gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. Placement also addresses misshapen teeth or minor damage. We can also lengthen worn down teeth too and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment. We could transform your smile with our restorations!
Creating Custom Restorations
The key to the longevity and lifelike appearance of the veneers is the fact that each one is custom-made for your smile. To begin, our team will gently numb the tooth or teeth being treated. Once you are comfortable, our team will remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for the restoration. We then take detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft your custom restorations. When they are ready, you will return to the office so we can attach them with a powerful bonding agent. You then leave with a restored smile and a lifelike appearance!
Preserving Your Dental Restorations
Good oral hygiene habits could help protect your smile. For example, when you brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste for two minutes, and floss every evening, this helps limit the severity of plaque and other issues that could potentially threaten the tooth. You should also limit the sugar in your diet and see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months. These actions keep your veneers bright and protect the teeth we’ve attached them to from the impacts of cavities, infection, and gum disease. The same actions also safeguard your natural teeth as well.
