What if there was a single cosmetic treatment option that could transform the appearance of your smile? With porcelain veneers, we can offer smile makeovers in as little as two visits. In today’s blog, your Columbia, TN, dentist talks about how we craft and place custom cosmetic veneers.
The Benefits of Placing Custom Veneers
Each veneer is a very thin shell of porcelain, which we will attach to the front of a tooth. Once in place, these will alter the shape and appearance of the tooth, masking common cosmetic imperfections. For example, they can cover teeth with stains too severe for traditional whitening treatments. Placement could address misshapen, cracked, or chipped teeth. We could use the restorations to close gaps between the teeth and to even lengthen worn down structures. Our team could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so teeth appear straighter without the need for braces or aligners. For some, this is a smile makeover in only two visits!
Creating and Attaching Your Cosmetic Restorations
To begin the process, we will numb the tooth or teeth being treated, so we can remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them, making room for the restorations. We then take detailed images of these prepared teeth, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft the final restorations. When they are ready, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Finally, we attach them to the front of the teeth with a powerful bonding agent. With proper care and attention, they can last for decades to come.
Keeping Them Bright
To ensure they stay bright, and to safeguard the teeth we have attached them to, our team recommends brushing teeth for two minutes in the morning and at night before bed, using a fluoride toothpaste. Flossing before going to bed is essential too, and we suggest cutting back on foods and drinks with sugar and starch. These actions help fight issues that could threaten your new smile, such as cavities, infections, and gum disease. If you have any questions about how we transform smiles with one or more of our porcelain veneers, or if you want to schedule your first visit of 2025, then contact our team today to learn more.
