Cosmetic dentistry allows our team to boost the appearance of the teeth, addressing issues with the shape and color of the smile. With porcelain veneers, we can often transform the smile with a single treatment option! In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne, D.D.S. in Prairie Village, KS, talks about our custom veneers!
The Cosmetic Capabilities of Our Veneers
How do porcelain veneers make such major changes to your smile? Each one is a very thin shell of porcelain, one that is attached to the front of the teeth. Once in place, this can make major changes to the shape and color of the teeth instantly, providing a smile makeover for many. For example, this can cover up teeth stains too severe to be addressed with teeth whitening alone. We could also use them to address gaps between the teeth, reshape misshapen teeth, and even lengthen worn down teeth. We can repair minor damage and also address the appearance of misalignment for some, so you obtain a straighter-looking smile, without the need for braces.
Creating and Placing Your Restorations
The key to the lifelike appearance and a balanced bite afterward is the custom nature of our veneers. Each one is custom-made for your smile! To get started, we will numb the tooth (or teeth) being treated, so we can comfortably remove a thin layer of outer enamel, making room for the new restorations. We then take images and measurements of the prepared teeth to design and craft your new restorations. The restoration will be crafted from porcelain, a very strong material that can handle daily bite forces with ease. The material can also be shaded to blend with your smile, so you have a more lifelike appearance. When the restoration is finished, you will return to the office so we can attach it with a powerful bonding agent, you then leave our office with a stunning new smile!
Keeping Your Whole Smile Bright
Routine care can help keep your teeth bright and beautiful! For example, you can brush and floss daily and cut back on drinks with dark pigments or foods high in sugar. You should also avoid tobacco products, and see our team for a routine checkup and cleaning. These actions protect both your new restorations and your natural teeth! If you have any questions about how we transform the overall beauty of your smile with our veneers, or about other cosmetic treatments like clear aligners, teeth whitening, or bonding and contouring, then reach out to our office today.
