With cosmetic dentistry, our team can improve the beauty of your smile, so you feel confident with your appearance. With porcelain veneers in particular, we can makeover your smile with a single treatment in just two visits. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about our custom and lifelike porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Placing Restorations
Each veneer we place will be connected to the front facing side of a tooth, instantly changing the shape and color of it to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once. The porcelain material we craft them from is very durable and string, and can be color matched to blend with the smile too. Once in place, we can use them to fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth, and to mask permanent teeth stains. The placement process can also correct misshapen or worn-down teeth, and even repair minor damage. For some, we can even correct the appearance of minor misalignment so you have a straighter-looking smile. Many people can enjoy a smile makeover with our porcelain veneers.
Creating Our Custom Dental Restorations
How do we custom-make your lifelike veneers? To begin, we will numb the tooth being treated so we can gently and comfortably remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them. Once we do, our team will be able to take detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth, which we use in a lab setting as part of the design and fabrication process. When the finished product is ready, we will place it!
Placing Your Custom Veneers
You will return for a second visit when we have completed your new restorations. Our team will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before we attach it with a powerful bonding agent. Once your restoration is in place, it will be able to remain there for years to come. With good oral hygiene habits, you can keep them bright and also safeguard the teeth we have attached them to, so be sure you brush and floss daily. You should also cut back on the sugar in your diet, avoid tobacco products, and see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months.
If you have any questions about how we can makeover your smile with one or more of our porcelain restorations, or if you are ready to get started, then contact our team today to learn more.
