Brighter tomorrows ahead with porcelain veneers 4-plus facts about this popular procedure to beautify the smile
At Centre Place Dental, your family’s comfort and satisfaction are truly front and center. And few dental procedures are quite as “technique-specific” as porcelain veneers. This means that the outcomes and results of the treatment depend greatly on the skill of the dentist who designs and places the veneers. Drs Chris and Robin Post can effectively address various cosmetic flaws in your smile with their personalized approach and advanced techniques. They ensure a natural look by avoiding veneers that are too large or a color that doesn’t complement your features. These veneers will blend in flawlessly with your smile and the rest of your face.
The Beauty and Strength of Porcelain
When it comes to dental materials, porcelain is an absolute stunner! Today’s high-performance ceramics are also incredibly strong. Porcelain resists stains very well. It is also the next best thing we dental professionals have to natural enamel in terms of looks. It is semi-translucent and reflects light like a real, natural tooth.
Unmatched versatility
Think of all of the ways a tooth may become damaged. Chips and minor fractures can occur due to wear and tear and certain behaviors. Over time, you may notice a gap has grown between two teeth. Perhaps a tooth looks more jagged or is worn down and no longer in proportion with the other teeth in your smile. These and other cosmetic imperfections can all be corrected with veneers.
A straightforward process
Veneers are generally applied in two visits. If Drs Post determine that veneers are right for you (and you have otherwise healthy teeth and gums), the natural teeth are “prepared.” This step involves removing an ever-so-slight amount of enamel. We must do this because the veneer must fit properly on top of the tooth. Today’s veneers are very thin. Only a minimal sliver of enamel is removed (around the thickness of a fingernail or contact lens). After preparing the teeth, information is collected to create your permanent veneers. During your second appointment, special bonding agents secure the veneers to the teeth. Veneers effectively conceal imperfections, enhancing the beauty of your smile.
