If you have multiple cosmetic imperfections with the shape and color of the teeth, then you could benefit from the placement of porcelain veneers. With treatment, we could help makeover your smile in only two appointments. In today’s blog, your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist talks about how veneers help patients enjoy a smile makeover.
How We Create and Place Porcelain Veneers
Each porcelain veneer we attach to the front of a tooth has been custom-made for our patient. This ensures a proper fit, balanced bite, and of course, a lifelike appearance. To get started, we will need to gently numb the teeth being treated, so you stay comfortable as we remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for the placement of your veneers. Once we complete this step, we will take detailed digital images of the teeth from multiple angles, and then use this to create a 3D impression of the area. In a dental lab setting, we employ the digital impressions to design your new restorations. When they are ready, you will return to the office so we can attach them with a powerful bonding agent!
The Benefits of Cosmetic Treatment
The porcelain material we craft them from is very durable and can handle daily bite forces and pressures with ease. The material can also be color-matched to ensure the restorations blend with your smile. In fact, we could whiten your smile ahead of time so they match your brightest possible smile!
When we attach your restoration, they can mask permanent teeth stains that could otherwise resist traditional teeth whitening methods. They can fill in unsightly gaps and black triangle spaces between your teeth. Placement can also address minor damage and even reshape malformed teeth. Our team can lengthen worn down teeth as well. Placement could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need or clear aligners.
Managing Your Oral Health
These cosmetic restorations can offer our patients a smile makeover, and to keep them bright and in place for years to come you need to care for them as you would natural teeth. Be sure you brush them and floss around the teeth, which helps prevent issues like tooth decay, infection, and gum disease, all of which could threaten the teeth your restoration has been attached to. Cut back on the sugar in your diet and avoid tobacco products, which helps improve oral health and also limit discoloration too. Finally, make time to see our team for a checkup and cleaning visit every few months, so we can keep an eye on your natural teeth and your new porcelain veneers, ensuring they stay bright and beautiful for years to come!
