When you have issues with the appearance of your smile, such as permanent stains or misshapen structures or gaps, then we can help redesign and transform your smile with a single treatment option. With porcelain veneers, we can offer stunning results in just two sittings. In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, dentist talks about porcelain veneers.
When You Should Consider Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can tackle multiple cosmetic concerns at once, so if you have more than one issue with the appearance of your smile, this could be an effective and lifelike way to makeover your smile. Each one covers the front and sides of the tooth, so in one placement we can address minor damage, correct misshapen teeth, and lengthen structure worn down by teeth grinding. Placement also fills gaps between the teeth, mask permanent teeth stains, and for some, could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment. If some of these issues apply to your smile then talk to our team about cosmetic restoration.
Creating Custom Cosmetic Restorations
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to placing porcelain veneers, as each restoration will be custom-made for your smile. To get started, our team will numb the tooth being treated (or teeth), and will remove a thin layer of outer enamel from it. Doing so makes room for the restoration. We then capture detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth, which we use to design and craft the finished product in one visit. We then attach the finished restoration in one visit, applying it with the same powerful bonding agent we use to secure crown or bridges. With proper care and attention, they can last for years to come!
Maintaining Your Cosmetic Restorations
To help ensure they stay bright and in place for years to come, you need to practice good oral hygiene. Simple actions like daily brushing and flossing, a healthy diet low in sugar, and taking time to see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months, and help you enjoy better oral health and safeguard your restored tooth against issues like infection or gum disease, which could compromise it. If you have any questions about how our team will design and treat cosmetic issues with our porcelain veneers, then contact our team today to learn more. A stunning new smile is possible in two visits, and we’re ready to help you get started!
