With the holiday season coming up, we know that you’re busy planning your Thanksgiving feast and buying gifts for your friends and family members. While you plan for this cozy time of year, don’t forget to treat yourself too. If you have been considering starting a cosmetic dental treatment, now is a great time of year to schedule your consultation. In today’s blog, the team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, is here to talk about the benefits of porcelain veneers.
Conceal Imperfections Throughout Your Smile
Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic treatment option that can help your smile appear brighter and more symmetrical. The veneers are made out of custom made dental porcelain, which is highly durable and stain resistant. After they have been placed, you will be able to eat, drink, and do your oral hygiene routine as you usually would. This cosmetic treatment may be helpful for patients who have discoloration that does not respond to whitening, or a few teeth that do not match the rest of your smile.
Feel More Confident In Your Family Photos
Your family will likely be taking lots of pictures to send seasonal greetings to friends and loved ones. If you tend to hide your smile when taking pictures, a cosmetic dental enhancement could help you feel more confident in your look. Options like porcelain veneers can help conceal blemishes such as intrinsic discoloration, chips, cracks, and more. For patients who have extrinsic stains caused by your favorite foods or beverages, a professional whitening treatment may be more helpful. Professional teeth whitening can rapidly break down the stains on your pearly whites and help them appear more vibrant. This can be done safely in our office or at home.
Start The New Year With A Bright Smile
The process of receiving your porcelain veneers can take around three weeks. This means that if you come in for your consultation at the end of November, you can complete your smile makeover by the end of this year and enter the new year with bright pearly whites. When you come in for your consultation, your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and oral cavity to ensure you are in good health. It’s important to be cavity-free and have no signs of gingivitis before this cosmetic treatment, otherwise the shells may not last as long. After your consultation, the shells will be custom created in a lab. Finally, they can be secured in place after preparing your natural tooth. To take care of your veneers you will continue your regular oral hygiene routine and come in for biannual dentist checkups.
