Porcelain veneers are thin cosmetic restorations that can instantly transform your smile. In fact, these can offer a smile makeover in only two visits! In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, family dentist talks about cosmetic smile correction with porcelain veneers, which can offer a stunning new smile in 2024 and beyond!
The Makeover Potential
How do veneers transform the beauty of your smile? Each one covers the front and sides of a tooth, instantly correcting an array of cosmetic imperfections. For example, our team can use them to repair minor chips and cracks, reshape malformed teeth, and even lengthen structure worn down by teeth grinding. Placement can close embarrassing gaps between the teeth, and also improve overall bite balance. Placement can even mask permanent teeth stains and correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for orthodontics in some cases. For many, this is a total smile transformation.
Creating Custom Dental Restorations
The key to the success of these restorations is their custom-made nature. The restorations are crafted based on detailed images and impressions we take of your teeth after we gently remove a thin layer of enamel. We then use the information in a lab setting to design and fabricate your custom restorations. Each one is made from porcelain, a material that can handle daily bite forces and also be shaded to blend with your smile. They can stay in place for years to come, and good oral hygiene habits can help them stay bright and safeguard the teeth we’ve attached them to.
Placing Your Restorations
When your new restorations are ready, our team will gently check the fit and if needed, make some final adjustments to them. We then attach them with a powerful bonding agent. They can remain there for many years to come. Be sure you see us every six months for a checkup and cleaning and take time to brush and floss properly at home. Be sure you cut back on the sugar and starch in your diet too! These actions help protect your veneers and your natural tooth structures too, so you can enjoy your best smile for years to come.
