The appearance of your smile can have a huge impact on your self-confidence. If you have blemishes and other imperfections on your teeth, it may dissuade you from showing off your grin. Your Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, offers several cosmetic treatments that can help improve the look of your pearly whites. Today, we will go over the benefits and process of receiving porcelain veneers.
This Cosmetic Treatment Can Correct Discoloration And Unevenness
Porcelain veneers use tooth-shaped shells that cover the front of your natural teeth. This can help correct the symmetry of your smile, hide stubborn discoloration, and correct many other imperfections that may be on your teeth. This method is unique because it involves an irreversible preparation step before the shells can be added. Veneers can last upwards of ten years with proper maintenance. Other treatments, such as whitening or bonding, will need to be repeated every few years to maintain their results.
Discoloration is a major concern for many patients. This can happen over time due to external factors and may be corrected with a professional whitening treatment. However, if the blemishes are intrinsic or your teeth do not respond to whitening, alternative options may need to be used instead. For some patients, bonding is a helpful alternative that can disguise the appearance of imperfections. If you have several imperfections that you would like to correct, veneers may be a preferred option. This method can address stains on your tooth, minor surface damage, and gaps between your teeth. You will be left with a stunning, symmetrical grin that you can feel confident with.
Getting Started With This Process
First, you will need a consultation with your dentist to discuss your concerns and go over the health of your smile. It’s important that your teeth are cavity-free, and your gums are in good health. If there are any problems with your oral health, these will need to be resolved first. Restorations and veneers may be included in a full-mouth rehabilitation plan if you have multiple concerns that need to be addressed in a short amount of time.
Together with your dentist, you can discuss the shade and shape of your tooth-shaped shells. Then, your enamel will be prepared to have the veneers placed. When the shells are ready, they will be adhered to your tooth. This cosmetic treatment can last for several years as long as you take care of them. You will be able to continue your daily functions of eating, drinking, speaking, and showing off your smile to others.
