Porcelain veneers provide a road to a transformed smile, instantly changing the shape and color of your teeth upon placement. For this reason, they can offer a complete smile makeover in as little as two visits. In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, dentist looks at how we create and place our custom porcelain veneers.
Our Porcelain Restorations
A porcelain veneer is a very thin shell of porcelain created to address cosmetic issues. We attach them to the front facing side of your teeth, and they instantly cover the front and sides. As a result, these can offer a lifelike appearance and correct multiple cosmetic concerns at once. Alone they can offer a smile makeover, but we can also combine them with other treatments. For example, our team can whiten teeth beforehand so they match your brightest smile or reserve your restorations for the front facing teeth while we use bonding and contouring to address cosmetic concerns with the less visible side teeth.
The Cosmetic Potential
We’ve placed them to mask permanent teeth stains, the discoloration that doesn’t respond to most teeth whitening treatments, so you have an instantly brighter smile. If you have minor misalignment, we can sometimes correct the appearance of your alignment to provide a straighter-looking smile in as little as two visits, no braces or aligners necessary. Placement could also close embarrassing gaps between the teeth and repair minor chips and cracks. We can lengthen worn down teeth and even reshape malformed ones as well. With porcelain veneers, this is possible in just two visits!
Placing Your Custom Cosmetic Restorations
How do we make and place your porcelain veneers? Our team starts by numbing the teeth receiving them. Next, we remove structure from these teeth to make room for your new restorations. Our team takes detailed digital images of these teeth from multiple angles, and then we combine them to create a 3D model of your smile. In a dental lab setting, we use the images and measurements to design and craft your custom restorations from porcelain. When they’re ready, we will check the fit and make any last-minute adjustments before we attach the restoration with a powerful bonding agent!
If you have multiple cosmetic concerns and want a smile that inspires confidence, then we can help. Just contact our team today to learn more about our veneers and to set up your consultation visit. We can also discuss our other cosmetic treatments, such as professional teeth whitening or Invisalign® aligners.
