Are you unhappy with the appearance of your smile? If so, then you may consider cosmetic dentistry, treatments designed to improve the beauty of your smile in as little as one to two visits. With porcelain veneers, we can actually offer a smile makeover. In today’s blog, your Allen, TX, dentist talks about porcelain veneers.
The Porcelain Veneer
This is a cosmetic restoration, one designed solely to improve the esthetics of your smile. When placed, they can address multiple concerns with the shape and color of the tooth, and people often use them to offer a smile makeover. The restoration is a thin shell of porcelain, one that is crafted from a material we can shade to blend with the rest of the smile, but also still absorbs daily bite forces. Each one is custom-made for a patient’s smile, providing a comfortable fit, balanced bite, and of course, a lifelike appearance.
Cosmetic Treatment
When in place, we can mask the permanent teeth stains that may resist traditional teeth whitening solutions. We also reshape malformed teeth, fill unsightly gaps between teeth, and even lengthen the ones worn down by teeth grinding. We can repair minor chips and cracks as well, and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you can avoid the need for braces or aligners for less severe malocclusion. We could even combine them with other treatments, whitening teeth beforehand so they match your brightest smile, and using bonding and contouring for the side and rear teeth, reserving the veneers for the most visible portions of your smile.
Creating and Placing a Cosmetic Restoration
To create one, we first start by administering a local anesthetic to the teeth receiving them, and then we remove a thin layer from each one. We then take detailed digital images of these teeth, which we use to create a detailed 3D impression. This allows us to design and craft the finished product in a lab setting. When the veneers are ready for placement, you will return to the office. We will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments, before attaching each one with a powerful bonding agent. The process takes as little as two visits, and addresses an array of common cosmetic problems. If you have any questions about how we create and place these porcelain veneers, or if you think your smile is ready for a transformation, then contact our team today to learn more.
