When you have more than one imperfection with the appearance of your smile, you may not need more than one cosmetic treatment. For many patients, we can offer a smile makeover using our porcelain veneers. In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist talks about placing our custom cosmetic veneers!
The Benefits of Placing Porcelain Veneers
Each porcelain veneer is a very thin shell of porcelain, one that is custom-made to fit over the front and sides of each tooth. Once in place, these will reshape the teeth and offer instant improvement in the color and shape of the teeth. When in place, we can mask permanent teeth stains that could resist traditional teeth whitening treatments. Our team could close gaps and black triangle spaces between your teeth, and correct misshapen or worn-down teeth. We could repair minor injuries too, and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment to offer a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners. For some, this is a total smile makeover in only two visits!
Creating Your Custom Cosmetic Restorations
In the first visit, our team will numb the tooth or teeth being treated so we can remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them. When we do, we will make detailed images and impressions of the prepared teeth, which we will use in a lab setting to design and craft your custom restorations. When the restorations are ready, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before we attach them with a powerful bonding agent. Once in place, your custom veneers will be able to offer years of quality smile improvement.
Protecting Your New Smile
The same actions that protect your teeth from issues like cavities, periodontal disease, and stains could also help your restorations stay bright and in place for years to come. We urge you to take time each day to brush and floss, and to limit the sugar and starch in your diet. Avoid tobacco products, and be sure you see our team for a checkup and cleansing visit every six months, so we can monitor your smile for signs of trouble and ensure you continue to enjoy a bright and healthy smile.
