Sometimes, a cosmetic treatment option is designed to address a very particular concern. For example, teeth whitening removes stains from your smile, and gum contouring reshapes the gum line. But with porcelain veneers, we can address multiple concerns at once! In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about the smile makeover potential of porcelain veneers.
The Benefits of Placing Custom Veneers
A porcelain veneer is actually a very thin dental restoration, made from a durable material that we can shade to blend with the rest of your smile. Once we attach this to the front facing side of a tooth, it instantly changes the shape and color of the tooth to tackle multiple cosmetic imperfections at once. For example, we can mask the permanent teeth stains that whitening alone cannot remove. Our team can reshape malformed teeth or even address minor injuries. Placement could fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth and add length to worn down structures too. We could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile. For many, this is a smile makeover in only two visits!
Creating Your Cosmetic Restoration
To ensure a lifelike appearance, comfortable fit, and a balanced bite, we will custom-make each of our porcelain veneers. To begin, we will numb the tooth being treated to keep you comfortable as we remove a thin layer from outer enamel, making room for your custom restoration. Our team then takes detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth, using the information in a lab setting to design and fabricate them from porcelain. The material can be color-matched to look natural, so it blends with your smile!
Placement and Maintenance
The first visit is to prepare the tooth and gather the information we need to create a custom-made restoration. When we finish it, you will return to the office so that we can check the fit and if necessary, make simple last-minute adjustments. We then attach the completed restoration to your prepared tooth with a powerful bonding agent, the same we use to secure crowns and bridges into place. You now have an attractive tooth. For a smile makeover, we could place multiple ones and even combine them with bonding. We could also whiten teeth beforehand, so your new veneers match your brightest possible smile. If you have any questions, then please reach out to our team today to learn more.
