When you have issues with the shape of your teeth, or with permanent teeth stains or other cosmetic imperfections, we can help. In fact, with porcelain veneers we can offer a more attractive smile by addressing multiple cosmetic issues at once. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about our custom cosmetic porcelain veneers.
The Difference Our Veneers Make
Each porcelain veneer we place is a very thin shell that covers the front and sides of the teeth. Each one is custom-made to ensure a perfect fit and an attractive appearance. When in place, we can mask permanent teeth stains that could resist other whitening treatments, or repair minor chips and cracks. We can reshape malformed teeth too, and even close embarrassing gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. These restorations can lengthen worn down teeth and also correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have an even-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners. For some, this is a smile makeover in only two visits.
Creating and Attaching Your Cosmetic Dental Restorations
How do we craft these custom porcelain veneers? To get started, we will numb the tooth being treated so that we can comfortably remove a thin layer of enamel and make room for the restoration. Our team will take digital images and measurements of the prepped tooth with advanced technology, and use this to design a 3D impression. In a dental lab setting, we use this information to design and craft custom restorations. When they are ready, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and make minor improvements to ensure an optimal fit. The final product is shaded to blend with your smile and offer a lifelike appearance!
Maintaining Your New Smile
You want to keep your restorations bright and also ensure the teeth we have attached them to are strong and able to support your restorations for years to come. To do so, you need to make sure you brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste, and floss every evening. These actions help limit the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Be sure you see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months as well, so we can monitor your smile and remove all harmful buildup.
