When you have several issues with the appearance of your smile, then you may benefit from cosmetic dentistry to boost smile beauty. With porcelain veneers, can address minor concerns or provide a complete smile makeover. In today’s blog, your Sheridan, WY, dentist can employ porcelain veneers to transform your smile!

The Porcelain Veneer

Each veneer is a very thin shell that covers the tooth, instantly changing the front and sides so we can mask or correct common esthetic complaints. The porcelain material is very strong and durable and is in fact often used for crowns and even prosthetics, such as dental bridges or implant restorations. The material is also translucent like tooth enamel and can be shaded to bend with the rest of your smile. That way the completed restoration will look natural, and the custom nature means a balanced bite and a proper fit for our patients as well.

Creating and Placing Your Restoration

Our team will custom-make each one we place to ensure optimal smile transformation. To get started, we will gently numb the tooth being treated so we can remove a thin layer of outer enamel from the tooth, making room for the new restoration. Our team then takes detailed digital images and measurements of the prepared tooth. The information and images gathered will be used in a dental lab to design and craft the finished product, so you have a new restoration that looks natural and is made for your smile in particular. When you return for a second visit, we will check the fit and if necessary, make some final adjustments. We then attach the veneer with a powerful bonding agent, so you have a restoration that can last for years to come with proper care and attention.

The Imperfections We Correct

What smile imperfections can we address with these new restorations? Well, our team can mask the permanent teeth stains that could resist traditional teeth whitening, or even close embarrassing gasps between your teeth. Placement could address misshapen teeth or repair minor damage, and could also lengthen worn down structures too. If you have misalignment, then this could correct the appearance of your smile in some cases, you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners.
