When you have more than one concern with the appearance of your smile, we could offer improvement with a single treatment option. With porcelain veneers, our team can help rebuild and transform the tooth structure to improve overall smile beauty. In today’s blog, your El Paso, TX, dentists talk about our cosmetic restorations.
Creating Cosmetic Restorations
When we place a veneer onto a tooth, we also custom-make it to ensure a proper fit, a balanced bite, and a lifelike appearance too. To begin this process, we will gently numb the tooth and then remove a layer of outer enamel. Next, we take detailed digital images of the tooth, which we use in a dental lab setting to design and craft the finished product. Each one is created from porcelain, a durable material that can absorb daily bite forces and also be color matched for a natural looking appearance. You then return to the office so we can check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and then attach it with a bonding agent.
Treating Cosmetic Issues
These will instantly change the shape and color of the tooth, addressing a multitude of cosmetic concerns at once. For example, we can correct the appearance of minor misalignment to prevent the need for braces or aligners. We can also mask permanent teeth stains that may not respond to teeth whitening, and also reshape malformed teeth too. Placement can correct cracked or chipped teeth, or even lengthen the ones worn down by teeth grinding. We can even close unsightly gaps between your teeth as well!
Keeping Dental Restorations Bright
Routine care can safeguard the teeth we’ve attached them to, and also keep your restorations bright. To protect your natural teeth and keep your veneers bright and in pace, you should brush for two minutes when you wake up and then again before bed with a fluoride toothpaste each time. We also suggest flossing every night, clean between the teeth and dipping below the gum line with the floss tape too. Try to cut back on foods and drinks high in sugar to control plaque buildup. You should see us every six months too, so we can watch for signs of issues that could threaten your newly restored teeth, and so we can remove all plaque and tartar with a cleaning.
