For a more attractive appearance, and a chance to tackle more than one cosmetic issue at once, our team can create and place custom porcelain veneers. Each one is made specifically for your smile, and can help address more than one imperfection. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about transforming your smile with porcelain veneers.
How We Create and Place Veneers
When we restore your smile with one or more porcelain veneers, we will custom-make each one to ensure a lifelike appearance and a balanced bite, so you can smile with confidence and enjoy good oral health too. To begin, we will numb the tooth (or teeth) being treated, so you are comfortable as we remove a thin layer of outer enamel. This makes room for your new restoration. Our team then takes detailed digital images and measurements of your tooth from multiple angles, which we use in a dental lab setting to design and craft your custom restorations. When they are complete, we will attach them to the front of the tooth with a powerful bonding agent, which transforms the appearance instantly. The porcelain we craft them from is very strong, and we can color match it to blend with your smile!
The Cosmetic Benefits
When we attach a veneer to your tooth, this will allow us to mask the permanent teeth stains that could resist traditional whitening methods. In addition, we can correct misshapen teeth or even add length to worn-down teeth too. Placement can address minor damage and fill in the gaps and black triangle spaces between your teeth. For some, we could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a more even looking smile without the need for orthodontics.
Ensuring Your New Restorations Last
With proper care and attention, your new dental restorations can last for years to come, and stay bright as well. You should take time to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes and also floss every evening. Try to limit how much sugar you consume, and avoid tobacco products. Finally, be sure you see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months. These actions help limit the risk of issues that could threaten tooth stability, such as cavities, infection, and gum disease. These steps also help your new restorations remain bright and beautiful.
