Studies from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry reveals that over half of Americans are not happy with the appearance of their smiles. This could be due to gaps between teeth, unsightly stains, misalignment, and more. Fortunately, your Allen, TX, dentist can address these issues and more in just two visits using our porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Possibilities
Since each veneer is a thin shell that covers the front and sides of each tooth, they instantly make improvements to the shape and color of the teeth. When in place, we could use them to mask the permanent teeth stains that don’t respond to whitening. We could also close gaps between the teeth, and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment. Porcelain veneers also reshape teeth, correct minor damage, and add length to teeth worn down by bruxism. If you have issues with the shape of your smile, or with the color of your teeth, then let us know right away!
Crafting Your Custom Porcelain Restorations
Each one is custom-made for your smile. To create them, we start by removing a thin layer of enamel from the outside of the teeth. With a local numbing agent, we ensure you feel comfortable during this process. Next, we take detailed digital images and measurements of the prepared teeth. In a dental lab setting, we use the information to design and craft the custom restorations. When you return to the office, we will check the fit and make final adjustments. We then place them with a powerful bonding agent!
Tips for Keeping Them Bright
With the right steps, your veneers can stay bright for years to come. The teeth we’ve attached them to are still vulnerable to issues like gum disease or tooth decay, so care is needed to ensure your porcelain restorations are ready to last for many years to come. You should make time to brush your teeth twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, and also floss every evening before bed. You should also see us every six months for an exam and a dental cleaning. At home, avoid tobacco products and cut back on foods and drinks high in sugar. These actions not only protect your new restorations, but also the rest of your smile too.
