What if we could place a single cosmetic restoration to mask or correct multiple imperfections with the appearance of your smile? With cosmetic dentistry, we can offer custom and lifelike dental restorations known as veneers. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about porcelain veneers.
The Benefits of Attaching Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin dental restorations that cover the front and sides of the tooth, which means when in place they instantly improve the overall appearance and function of the tooth. When in place, they will help mask permanent teeth stains that could otherwise resist teeth whitening. They can help repair minor damage and reshape malformed teeth. When in place, they also close gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. They lengthen worn down teeth too and help correct the appearance of minor misalignment too, so you can obtain a more even looking smile.
How We Create and Place Them
To start the process, our team will numb the tooth and then remove a thin layer of outer enamel. Once we complete this step, our team will gather detailed images and measurements of your tooth. With this information, we can then design and fabricate the restoration in a dental lab setting. When they’re ready, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before we attach it with a powerful bonding agent. The porcelain material is very strong and durable, and can handle daily bite forces. We also shade it to blend with your smile.
Keeping Your New Restorations Bright
How do you ensure your new veneers can remain bright and stay in place for years to come? First, be sure you brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes, and floss every evening. This helps fight issues that could threaten a tooth and the restoration itself too. Take time to see our team for a checkup and cleaning visit too, so we can monitor your new cosmetic restoration and keep your smile whole and bright. You can also help by avoiding tobacco products and cutting back on the sugar and starch in your diet.
