In our last blog, we talked about how bonding can repair issues like damaged teeth or mask teeth stains. But we also have a cosmetic treatment that can improve one tooth, or your entire smile! In today’s blog, your Sheridan, WY, dentist talks about the smile makeover possibilities of porcelain veneers!
Creating Your Personalized Veneers
Each veneer we place has been custom made for your tooth, ensuring a proper fit and a balanced bite. To create one, our team will numb the tooth and then carefully remove a thin layer of enamel from the outside, which makes room for the custom restoration. Our team next gathers detailed digital images and impressions of the tooth, which we use in a lab setting to create your new restorations. Our team then checks the fits, makes any last-minute adjustments, and attaches it with a powerful bonding agent. You now have a cosmetic restoration that can last for years to come!
The Cosmetic Treatment Potential
When we place porcelain veneers, they cover the front and sides of the tooth. Which means we can mask permanent teeth stains, and also close embarrassing gaps between the teeth. The placement process reshapes malformed teeth, repairs minor chips and cracks, and lengthens worn down structures too. We’ve even used them to correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you can obtain a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or plastic aligners. For some people, these could offer a smile makeover in only two visits with a single treatment option!
Keeping Your Smile Beautiful
The porcelain we use is durable and strong, but also translucent like tooth enamel. We will shade it to blend with your tooth seamlessly. To keep them bright, and also safeguard the teeth we’ve attached them to, our team recommends taking daily care of your smile. You should brush and floss daily, cut back on sugar and starch in your diet, and avoid tobacco products. Be sure to see us for a checkup and cleaning visit every six months too! These actions fight gingivitis, gum disease, tooth decay, and even infection, so you enjoy a bright and healthy smile for years to come.
