When you have more than one esthetic issue with the appearance of your smile, you may be interested in a smile makeover. This is especially true if a smile makeover could require only one treatment and two visits. In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, dentist talks about the smile makeovers that porcelain veneers can provide!
The Cosmetic Treatment Possibilities
Porcelain veneers are very thin shells that we place onto the front facing sides of each tooth. The shells then instantly alter the shape and color of your teeth. We could use porcelain veneers to correct misshapen or malformed teeth, lengthen the ones teeth grinding wears down, or to repair minor cracks and chips. We’ve placed them to mask permanent teeth stains too, the kind that may not respond to teeth whitening. Our team could also employ them to correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you can obtain an even looking smile with the use of braces or aligners.
Creating Custom Restorations
Each one we place on your teeth will be custom-made, ensuring not only a natural appearance, but a comfortable fit and a balanced bite too. To begin, we will numb the teeth receiving them and then carefully remove a thin layer of enamel from them, making room for the restoration. We take detailed digital images of the prepared teeth from several angles, and combine them to fabricate a 3D computer impression. Using this in a dental lab setting, we will create your custom cosmetic restorations.
Placing Your Porcelain Veneers
When your dental restorations are ready, we will check the fit and if need be, make final adjustments. We then attach the custom-made veneers to the teeth with powerful bonding agents. These ensure the new restorations can stay in place for decades to come. With good oral hygiene habits, such as daily brushing and flossing, a healthy diet, and visits for checkups and cleanings, your porcelain veneers can stay bright and in place for years to come. These same actions also help protect your natural teeth from issues both cosmetic and restorative.
