Cosmetic Dental Veneers
Transform Your Smile Today
Cosmetic dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from tooth-colored materials. They're designed to cover the front surface of teeth to enhance your smile. They're an excellent option for individuals looking to fix discolored, worn down, chipped, broken, misaligned, or irregularly shaped front teeth.
Why Choose Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers offer a more conservative approach to changing a tooth's color or shape compared to crowns. Not only do they deliver a natural tooth appearance, but gum tissue also tolerates porcelain well, making it a patient-friendly choice.
What to Expect
The veneer procedure typically requires three appointments:
- Consultation and diagnosis: In your initial consultation, your dentist will discuss your needs and evaluate whether veneers are right for you. X-rays may be taken, and impressions of your mouth and teeth may be made.
- Preparation: To prepare a tooth for a veneer, the dentist will remove about 1/2 millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface. Then, the dentist makes an impression of the tooth, which is sent out to a dental laboratory that constructs the veneer.
- Bonding: Once your veneer is ready, your dentist will place it on your tooth to check its fit and color. The veneer is then bonded to your tooth, and a special light beam is used to activate chemicals in the bonding cement, causing it to harden quickly.
Caring for Your Dental Veneers
Veneers don't require any special care. Continue to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash. Remember, veneers are a great way to make your smile beautiful and keep it that way!
