With porcelain veneers, our team can offer a major smile transformation. In fact, in just two visits, our team can provide a smile makeover using these custom cosmetic dental restorations. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about how we secure a smile makeover with our porcelain veneers.
How Veneers Makeover Your Teeth
Each porcelain veneer we provide for our patients is custom-made and then attached to the front facing side of the tooth. Once in place, this will allow our team to instantly change the shape and color of the tooth, providing a makeover for it. We can place one or several, or even combine them with other treatments, like teeth whitening and dental bonding/contouring.
Our team can then mask permanent teeth stains, fill in gaps between teeth, and lengthen worn down tooth structure. Placement can address minor injuries and misshapen teeth. Our team could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment too, so you obtain a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners. For some, this could be a complete smile makeover!
Creating and Placing Your Custom Restorations
To begin, we will numb the tooth or teeth being treated. We want to ensure you are comfortable as we remove outer structure from them. Once we complete this step, our team will take detailed digital images and measurements of the prepared teeth, and use them to design and craft the restoration in a lab setting. Made from porcine, they will be able to handle daily bite forces and pressures. We can also shade the material to blend with the smile. In fact, we could whiten teeth beforehand so they match your brightest smile!
When the restorations are ready, you will return to the office. We will check the fit and make sure we don’t need to make some final adjustments. Finally, we will attach them with a powerful bonding agent.
Keeping Your Smile Bright
Good oral hygiene habits can keep your new restorations brought and also protect the stability of the teeth we have attached them to, so your cosmetic improvements can last for years to come. You should take time to brush for two minutes when you wake up and then do so again before going to bed. Each session should make use of a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste. You also need to floss every evening before bed, and try to cut back on the sugar and starch in your diet.
