Have you tried cosmetic treatments like professional teeth whitening or Invisalign and feel like the results are not what you are expecting? If you are looking to have the most symmetrical, bright, white grin porcelain veneers are a great option. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we offer several treatments to help you create the best version of yourself.
How The Process Works
This is a permanent process. Due to the nature of the procedure, this cannot be reversed. After a consultation to determine your needs and if you are a suitable candidate, the next step can begin. First, a small portion of your tooth will need to be shaved down. This is like what happens during a contouring treatment, but more of the tooth is removed.
Measurements of your teeth will be sent off to a lab to create the most suitable veneers. You and your dentist can decide on the desired size, shape, and color to blend in well with your smile. Then, this will be adhered to the tooth. Veneers are durable and will last a lifetime if cared for properly.
Keeping Your Pearly Whites In Good Condition
Like any cosmetic treatment, you must continue to care for your smile. To keep your new pearly whites looking vibrant, there are a few rules you can follow. Avoid smoking or using tobacco. This can yellow the porcelain material used on the shells. If you frequently drink coffee, tea, or soda, try to drink through a straw to avoid discoloration. You are free to eat all your favorite foods but be sure to brush and floss regularly.
Alternative Treatments
If veneers seem like a large commitment or investment, there are other means to achieve an even smile. Bonding and contouring are cosmetic treatments that are similar to this. Bonding adds to teeth that have minor damage, discoloration, or unevenness. Contouring can even out teeth that are longer or unsymmetrical.
If you need to repair a chipped or broken tooth, a ceramic crown is the best option. We know that there are a lot of options available to you and it can be confusing. You can discuss your options for the best treatment plan to improve your grin.
