When you have a number of different esthetic issues with the appearance of your smile, then we could offer a makeover with a single cosmetic treatment. Porcelain veneers are thin and lifelike, and offer major improvement for smiles. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about porcelain veneers and how we place them.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Placing Veneers
Each veneer is designed to be placed onto the front facing side of a tooth. When in place, this can make instant changes to the shape and color of the tooth, providing a smile makeover in some cases. For example, if you have permanent teeth stains whitening cannot remove, we can mask them. Placement could close embarrassing gaps and even black triangle spaces between the teeth. Veneers can reshape malformed teeth and address minor damage, even adding length to worn down teeth. If you have minor misalignment, our team can correct the appearance of the smile to make it appear straighter. We can make major changes in just two visits!
How We Create and Place Them
The process only takes two appointments to address. In the first, we will numb the tooth being treated so we can comfortably remove a thin layer of outer enamel and gather detailed images and measurements with digital technology. In between your visits, we use this information to design and craft your custom veneers. When you return to the office, our team can check the fit and make final adjustments to the restoration before we place it with a powerful bonding agent. Once secured, this can remain in place for years to come, and proper care and attention can keep your restorations bright!
Managing Your New Cosmetic Restorations
To keep them bright and protect the teeth we have attached them to from issues like decay, infection, or gum disease, you need to brush and floss daily to remove stray food particles and protect the smile from severe buildup. Be sure you see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months too, so we can monitor your new restoration and also watch for oral health concerns that could threaten them. We will clean the teeth in the same visit to remove harmful buildup and keep smiles bright and healthy.
If you have any questions about who our team will offer dramatic smile improvement with one or more of our custom porcelain veneers, then contact our team today to learn more.
