When you have several cosmetic imperfections with a tooth, including the shape and color of it, we can help. In fact, with porcelain veneers we can offer a cosmetic way to makeover your smile in just two visits! In today’s blog, your Brighton, MA, dentists talk about a smile makeover with one or more of our porcelain veneers, helping you obtain the results you have dreamed about!
The Cosmetic Benefits of a Veneer
Each one is a very thin dental restoration that we attach to the font facing side of a tooth. When in place, this instantly changes the color and shape of the tooth, allowing us to correct multiple esthetic imperfections with a single treatment option, in only two visits. For example, we can cover up teeth stains too severe to be addressed with whitening alone. Our team could also fill exposed gaps between teeth and even repair minor injuries. Placement could reshape malformed teeth and add length to parts of your smile worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding). For some, we could even correct the appearance of your smile’s alignment, so you achieve an even-looking smile without the need for orthodontics like braces or aligners.
Creating Your Cosmetic Restoration
The custom nature of your veneers ensures the lifelike appearance and comfortable fit, so you have a balanced bite too. To begin, we will need to numb the tooth or teeth being treated. We want to remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for your veneer, and to ensure a more natural appearance and proper balance in your bite. We then take detailed digital images of the teeth from multiple angles with an intraoral camera. These images allow us to create a digital impression of your tooth, so we can design and craft your new restoration with precision and accuracy.
The Placement Process
The porcelain material we use is very strong and can handle daily bite forces with ease, as we also use this to create crowns and even replacement teeth, such as bridges or implant restorations. When your porcelain restoration is ready, we will check the fit to make sure we don’t need to make some final adjustments to ensure an optimal fit. We then attach them with a powerful bonding agent, and with proper care they can stay in place for years to come!
