What if you have several issues with the appearance of your smile? In many cases, our team can offer a smile makeover with our thin and lifelike porcelain veneers. In today’s blog, your West Allis, WI, dentist talks about how we help smiles with our porcelain veneers, so you can obtain stunning results in just two visits.
The Cosmetic Potential of Thin Restorations
Each porcelain veneer we place is a very thin dental restoration. Made from porcelain, these can handle daily bite forces and pressures, and we can also shade them to blend with your smile. We will attach them to the front of the teeth, where they can instantly correct several cosmetic imperfections at once. For example, we can mask the teeth stains so severe they resist whitening treatments. Our team can address minor damage, correct misshapen teeth, and lengthen worn down teeth too. Placement can fill black triangle spaces and gaps between the teeth. We could even help correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you obtain a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces. For some, this could completely transform the smile!
How Our Team Creates Custom Dental Restorations
The key to their perfect fit and lifelike appearance is the fact that each one is custom-made for the smile. To begin, our team will numb the tooth or teeth being treated, so we can comfortably remove a thin layer of outer enamel. Doing so helps make room for the restoration. Our team will then take detailed digital images and impressions of the prepared teeth, and use them in a lab setting to design and craft your restoration. The finished veneer will be shaded to blend with your smile, and will be able to handle the daily pressures expected of tooth enamel.
Attaching Your Cosmetic Restorations
When the cosmetic restoration is ready, our team will check the fit and make sure we do not need to make any adjustments to ensure a proper fit. We then attach them with a powerful bonding agent, once that can secure them for years to come. Once in place, your daily oral hygiene habits and regular visits for checkups and cleanings can help them stay bright and secure. You should brush and floss daily, limit the amount of sugar in your diet, and avoid tobacco products. We will also clean your teeth and monitor your restoration in your checkup and cleaning visits.
