If you have more than one esthetic complaint with your smile, then you could use a cosmetic treatment that takes in multiple concerns at once. With porcelain veneers, we use a holistic and safe restoration to transform a tooth. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist looks at how we craft a new smile with porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Our Veneers
Each of our custom veneers are made from porcelain, a very strong material that can handle daily bite forces and pressures with ease. The same material is translucent like natural enamel and can be color-matched to blend with surrounding teeth for a lifelike appearance. When watched to the front of the teeth, this can mask permanent teeth stains, lengthen worn down teeth, and even fill in gaps between the teeth. Placement could correct misshapen teeth as well, and even repair minor injuries. Our team could use them to correct the appearance of uneven smiles too!
A Holistic and Metal-Free Material
Porcelain is a very strong material, one that can take on the pressures expected of natural tooth enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The material bonds with the tooth too, since it is metal-free and made of biocompatible material. This also means the material is also safe for all patients. Your new restoration can last for years to come and stay bright with routine care and attention so you have a holistic and natural-looking way to transform your whole smile.
Securing Your Cosmetic Restoration
To place one, or several, we will first numb the portions being treated and then gently remove a thin layer of enamel to make room for the new restoration. We then take images and impressions with digital intraoral cameras, and use the information in a lab setting to design and craft your new veneers. When they are ready, we will attach them to the front of the teeth with a powerful bonding agent, so you can maintain a beautiful and healthy smile. The entire process only takes two visits. We could also combine these with other treatments. For example, we could whiten teeth beforehand so your new restorations reflect your brightest smile, and also use bonding and contouring for the side teeth.
