Would you like a smile makeover that addresses all of your cosmetic imperfections at once? With a single dental restoration known as a porcelain veneer, this could be possible! In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about providing a smile makeover with our custom veneers.
The Difference Veneers Make
A porcelain veneer is a very thin cosmetic restoration; one we attach to the front of a tooth. Once connected to your tooth, this instantly changes the shape and color of the tooth. The restoration can mask multiple cosmetic issues at once. For example, we can cover up teeth stains that may be too severe for teeth whitening, or even fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. The restorations can repair minor damage, lengthen worn down teeth, and reshape malformed structures too. Placement could also correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for lengthy orthodontic treatment. For some, receiving multiple ones could be a smile makeover.
How We Place Your Cosmetic Restorations
We always custom-make them to ensure a proper fit and a lifelike appearance. To get started, we will numb the teeth being treated so keep you comfortable as we remove a thin layer of enamel, which makes room for your new veneers. Our team then takes detailed digital images and measurements, which we use to aid in the design and fabrication process. The porcelain we use can handle daily bite forces with ease, we use the same material for crowns, bridges, and dental implant restorations. The material can also be color-matched to blend with the smile!
When we have completed your cosmetic restoration, you will return to our office so we can check the fit and see if we need to make any final adjustments. We then attach them with a powerful bonding agent, which can secure them for years to come.
Tips for Keeping Your Smile Beautiful
To help ensure your veneers remain bright, and to ensure the teeth we have attached them to remain intact, we suggest maintaining good oral hygiene habits. For example, make time to brush and floss daily, avoid tobacco products, and cut back on the amount of sugar in your diet. We also urge you to see our team for routine checkups and cleanings every six months, so we can monitor your smile and remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup!
