What if there was a cosmetic treatment that could make major changes to the shape and color of the teeth in just two visits? With porcelain veneers, we can offer patients a smile makeover with a single treatment option. In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist talks about how veneers can offer major transformation in a short period.
The Benefits of Placing Our Porcelain Veneers
Each porcelain veneer is a very thin restoration made from durable porcelain, which we can shade to blend with the color of surrounding teeth. Our team places them onto the front of the tooth, so they can make instant cosmetic changes, addressing multiple imperfections at once. For example, we can hide permanent teeth stains that resist teeth whitening, close embarrassing gaps between the teeth, and reshape malformed structures too. Placement can improve bite balance and also correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for orthodontics. Our team can use them to address minor damage too! For many, this is essentially a smile makeover in just two sittings.
The Process of Crafting Custom Restorations
The placement process takes two visits to complete. During the first visit, we will numb the tooth or teeth being treated and gently remove a thin layer of enamel from each one, which makes room for your final restorations. We then take detailed digital images of the tooth from multiple angles, which will be used in a dental lab setting to design and craft the final product. During the second visit we will check the fit of your custom restorations and make any necessary adjustments, Finally, we attach them with a powerful bonding agent. You now have a transformed smile, one you can’t wait to show the world!
Maintaining Your New Smile
You can take steps to help keep them bright and safeguard the teeth we’ve attached them to. These same steps also safeguard your surrounding teeth too! You should brush for two minutes in the morning and at night with a fluoride toothpaste, and floss every evening. Cut back on the sugar and starch in your diet, and avoid tobacco products. Be sure you see our team for a checkup and clearing every six months. These actions fight issues like tooth decay, infection, gingivitis, and gum disease, so your smile stays bright and whole.
