Do you have more than one concern with the appearance of your smile? If so, what if a single procedure could address the issue? In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about how we help smiles with one or more porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Placing Custom Veneers
What is a porcelain veneer? Each one is a very thin dental restoration made from porcelain, a strong and durable material that we shade to blend with your smile. This is attached to the front of the tooth, covering the visible structure and allowing us to address multiple imperfections at once. When in place, we can cover up stains too severe to be removed with whitening, or even repair minor damage and address portions weakened by grinding. We can fill unsightly gaps between the teeth and even address misshapen structures too. For some, we could even correct the appearance of misalignment with multiple veneers, so your smile looks straighter without the need for orthodontics.
Creating Your New Dental Restorations
How do we create these thin dental restorations? We will custom make them to ensure they look natural and blend with your smile. Our team will start by numbing the teeth and then gently removing a thin layer of outer enamel from them. Once we do, we will take images and measurements of the teeth, which are then used in a lab setting to design and craft your custom improvements from porcelain. We want to ensure a perfect fit and a balanced bite, as well as a shade that blends with surrounding teeth. We could even whiten your teeth beforehand so they blend with the brightest version of your smile!
Placing and Caring for Your New Restorations
When the custom cosmetic restoration is ready, we will check the fit and then make any necessary adjustments to the restoration as needed. Finally, we connect this to the front of the tooth with a powerful bonding agent, so with care and attention they can stay bright and in place for years to come. You should make sure you brush and floss daily, cut back on the sugar in your diet, and see our team for professional cleaning every six months. Don’t use tobacco products either! With the right steps, you can safeguard your veneers and your natural teeth as well.
