Come In For A Checkup First
Veneers are a cosmetic treatment that can improve the look of various imperfections. Before you can get started with these changes to your pearly whites, you first need to ensure that your teeth and gums are in good health. When you come in for your next dental checkup, a hygienist will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth to reduce the risk of decay. After this, your dentist can carefully examine your oral cavity to look for any potential concerns. This is a good time to talk to your dentist about your smile goals and discuss the differences between a professional whitening treatment, bonding, and veneers before determining which treatment may work best for your needs. For instance, if your main concern is discoloration on your enamel, a whitening treatment may be a simple and effective treatment. If you have stubborn stains and other imperfections, bonding may be a good alternative.
Veneers Can Address Many Problems At Once
Veneers are porcelain, tooth-shaped shells that cover the front of your natural teeth. You can have a single one placed over a problem tooth or use several veneers to transform the look of your smile. Many patients appreciate this cosmetic service because it can address various imperfections at the same time. For example, if you have a small gap between your teeth and also have stains below your enamel, veneers may be able to disguise these imperfections altogether.
Get Started With Your Transformation Today
After you have had a consultation with your dentist, we’ll need to take an impression of your smile to create the custom porcelain shells. This material is highly durable and stain resistant, meaning you can continue eating and drinking your favorite foods. When the shells are ready, your dentist will prepare your teeth by shaving a small amount of your enamel. The veneers will be carefully cemented in place, and you can show off your new smile. After receiving your veneers, be sure to continue with your regular oral hygiene routine and checkups to best maintain your oral health. If you have any questions about after care for this treatment, contact our team.
