If you have more than one issue with the appearance of your smile, we want to offer a smile makeover with a single treatment option. Porcelain veneers can improve the overall beauty of your smile in only two visits. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about porcelain veneers.
How Porcelain Veneers Offer Smile Makeovers
Porcelain veneers are very thin shells that we place over the front of your teeth. The porcelain material can handle daily bite forces and be shaded to blend with your smile, offering a lifelike appearance and durable dental restoration. When attached to the front of the teeth, we can use them to mask permanent teeth stains, fill gaps and black triangle spaces between teeth, repair minor damage, and lengthen worn down teeth. In some cases, we can even place them to correct the appearance of an uneven smile, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners.
Creating Your Custom Cosmetic Restorations
How do we design and create your custom cosmetic restorations? To create them, we will first numb the teeth being treated and then remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them. Once we do, we will take images of them from multiple angles with digital technology, and then use these in a lab setting to design and craft your custom dental restorations. Every smile is unique, which is why we take a customized approach to your treatment.
Placing and Maintaining Your Restorations
When we have completed your new dental restorations, we will have you return to the office so we can place them. Our team begins by checking the fit to make sure we don’t need to make any final adjustments to them. Next, we will place them with a powerful bonding agent, securing them in place for years to come. To keep them bright and protect the teeth we have attached your veneers to, be sure you brush and floss daily and see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months. These same actions also protect the rest of your smile.
If you have any questions about how our team will transform your smile with the placement of one or more porcelain veneers, then contact our team today to learn more. There is still time to see us for treatment before the holiday season is in full gear, and you can also use your 2024 dental benefits before they expire at the end of the year.
