Do you have more than one cosmetic concern with the appearance of your smile? Instead of hiding your teeth from the world, what if we could transform your appearance with the placement of custom cosmetic restorations? In today’s blog, your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist talks about placing porcelain veneers.
The Makeover Potential of Placing Veneers
Each porcelain veneer is a very thin shell that we attach to the front of the teeth. Once in place, these restorations instantly change the shape and color of the teeth, and we color-matched them to ensure a lifelike appearance. Once in place, they could mask permanent teeth stains and fill gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. We could use them to address minor damage or correct misshapen teeth. We could add length to worn down teeth too! For some, we could even correct the appearance of misalignment so patients enjoy straighter-looking smiles without the need for orthodontics.
How We Craft and Place Your Restorations
Each one is custom-made for your smile! To begin, our team will numb the tooth being treated so you remain comfortable as we remove outer structure to make room for your custom restorations. Next, we will take detailed digital images and measurements of your teeth from multiple angles, using them to design and fabricate your custom restorations. When they are ready, you will return for a second visit so we can check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and then attach your custom veneers with a powerful bonding agent. Once in place, they can remain bright and secure for years to come with proper care and attention!
Keeping Them Shining
How do you keep them bright and in place? Remember, good oral hygiene prevents issues like decay, infection, and periodontal disease from impacting the tooth we have attached your veneers to. These same actions also safeguard the brightness of your new restorations. You should brush your teeth for two minutes when you wake up, all while using a fluoride toothpaste. Do the same before bed. You also need to floss before bed, as this removes what a toothbrush alone cannot reach. You can also help by cutting back on the sugar in your diet and by avoiding tobacco products. Be sure to see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months too!
If you have any questions about how our team can transform your smile with our custom porcelain veneers, or if you would like to receive one or more of them, then let us know. Now is a great time to improve the beauty of your smile, so you start spring with a smile that truly shines!
