Each veneer will be placed onto the front facing side of a tooth, offering instant improvement for the shape and color of the tooth. For example, we can use them to mask teeth stains that could resist traditional teeth whitening treatments. Placement could also help correct misshapen teeth and even repair minor chips and cracks. We’ve placed them to close embarrassing gaps between teeth, including those black triangle spaces. Placement also helps lengthen worn down teeth. If you have minor misalignment, then our team can use them to correct the appearance of your smile, so you have a straighter-looking one without the need for braces. For many patients, this is essentially a smile makeover in only two visits!
How do we create these custom porcelain veneers? To get started, our team will numb the tooth being treated so that we can comfortably remove a thin layer of enamel, making room for your restorations. Once we do, our team then gathers detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft the final product. The porcelain we use is a durable material that can absorb daily bite forces, and also be color matched to blend with the rest of your teeth seamlessly. We may even whiten teeth beforehand so they match your brightest possible smile.
Once the restoration is ready, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and if necessary, make some final adjustments. We then attach the completed restoration with a powerful bonding agent, one that can secure your new restoration for years to come. To help keep them bright and in place, be sure you brush and floss daily, see us for checkups and cleanings every six months, and avoid tobacco products. These same actions also protect your natural teeth.
