Veneers

If you are like most people, you are concerned with the look of your smile. Veneers are one of the many ways to enhance your smile aesthetic. Porcelain veneers are helpful for chipped teeth, yellow teeth, crooked teeth and misaligned teeth. Porcelain, an uber-thin material, can be shaped to look exactly like regular teeth. Furthermore, your porcelain veneers will prove quite durable and long-lasting if you take care of them. Obtaining porcelain veneers is a nearly painless process so don’t worry about potential discomfort.

The porcelain veneer process begins with a careful trimming of the tooth. Slight trimming is performed on teeth that show indications of decay. Trimming sets the stage for the proper placement of the veneer. Trimming also includes the removal of old fillings. If necessary, the dentist will apply a sedative. Your veneer shade will match the hue of the rest of your teeth for an aesthetically uniform smile. A tooth impression is taken along with an impression of the adjacent teeth and gums. If necessary, a temporary veneer will be applied. The dentist will evaluate the fit of the final veneer after bonding it to the tooth so it looks just right. The dentist then cleans and flosses the adjacent teeth. The end result is a significant improvement in your discolored, crooked or improperly spaced teeth.
