Porcelain veneers are custom-made restorations that we attach to the front of your teeth. With cosmetic dentistry, we can use these to offer major improvements for your smile. In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist talks about how we craft and then attach our custom-made porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Receiving Custom Veneers
With our custom cosmetic restorations, we can take on multiple esthetic concerns at once. For some, this acts as a smile makeover. Each porcelain veneer we attach is connected to the front of a tooth, and makes instant changes to the shape and color. We can cover up permanent teeth stains that could resist traditional teeth whitening treatments. Our team could fill in embarrassing gaps and even black triangle spaces between the teeth. Placement could even reshape malformed teeth or repair minor chips. For some, we can lengthen worn down teeth and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment.
How We Create and Secure Your Restorations
If we find that one or more veneers are the right choice for correcting your smile, we could start the placement process. We might start by whitening your teeth to ensure your completed ones reflect your brightest smile. We then numb the teeth receiving the restorations so you remain comfortable as we remove a thin outer layer of enamel to make room for them. We then gather detailed images of these teeth with digital technology. In a dental lab setting, we use the images and measurements to create digital impressions so we can design and craft your custom restorations with precision and accuracy.
When they are ready, you will return to the office so that we can check the fit and if necessary, make some final adjustments. We then attach your completed dental restorations with a powerful bonding agent.
Tips for Keeping Them Bright
With the right care and attention, your new veneers can stay bright and in place for many years to come. To ensure this, we recommend taking time to brush and floss each day, cleaning your restorations and natural teeth with the same actions. Try to cut back on sugar and starch in your diet, and avoid tobacco products. You should also see our team for a routine checkup and cleaning every six months.
