What if only one cosmetic treatment could instantly mask stains and even reshape your teeth, all in as little as two appointments total? With porcelain veneers, we can offer a smile makeover for some patients! In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist talks about boosting smile beauty with porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Improvements Veneers Provide
How do we improve your smile with our custom cosmetic veneers? These are very thin dental restorations made from porcelain, a strong material that is also used to create crowns, bridges, and implant restorations. The material can even be shaded to ensure it blends with your smile as a whole. Our team places these onto the front of the teeth, so they can cover up stains too severe to be removed with teeth whitening alone. Placement also reshapes malformed teeth, repairs minor damage, and adds length to structure worn down by issues like teeth grinding. We can fill in embarrassing gaps between the teeth too. For some, we could even use several to correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a more even looking smile without the need for orthodontics.
Creating a Custom Restoration
How do we create and secure these durable and lifelike dental restorations? To get started, our team will begin by numbing the tooth or teeth being treated, so we comfortably remove a thin layer of outer enamel to accommodate the new restorations, so the final appearance is more natural. We then take detailed images and impressions of the prepared teeth, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft them.
Attaching Your Veneers
When your new porcelain restoration is ready, we will check the fit one final time to ensure a proper fit and to make sure we don’t need to make any last-minute adjustments. We then attach it with a powerful bonding agent, which secures this to the tooth for years to come. With good real hygiene habits, you can ensure your new restorations stay bright and in place for years to come and protect natural tooth structures at the same time. Be sure you brush and floss daily, cut back on sugar in your diet, and avoid tobacco products. You should also see our team for routine checkup and cleaning visit every six months too.
