To mask multiple smile flaws and transform the appearance of your teeth, we could create and secure porcelain veneers. These are custom porcelain restorations designed specifically to correct common cosmetic issues. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist discusses how we provide smile makeovers with porcelain veneers.
A Custom Cosmetic Restoration
The porcelain veneers we provide our patients will be custom-made for your smile, ensuring proper fit and bite balance. To begin, we will need to carefully examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of your esthetic concerns. Next, we numb the tooth or teeth receiving them, and then we carefully remove a thin layer of outer enamel. More digital images will be taken of the prepared teeth, and these will be used in the design and fabrication process.
Placing Your New Restoration
They will be crafted from porcelain, a very strong and durable material, one that we use to create crowns and even replacement teeth, such as dental bridges. The material is also translucent like tooth enamel, and can be shaded to blend with your smile seamlessly. When they’re ready, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before we affix them with a powerful bonding agent. Once in place, they can stay bright and last for decades to come with proper care and attention.
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Once we affix them to your tooth or teeth, they will instantly alter the sides and front of them. Which means we can use them to not only repair minor chips and cracks, but also correct misshapen teeth too. We’ve lengthened portions of the smile worn down by teeth grinding, and also close unsightly gaps between the teeth too. If you have permanent stains that cannot be addressed with whitening, then our team could mask them. Likewise, if you have a minor case of dental misalignment, we could potentially correct the appearance of your smile to prevent the need for braces or aligners. For many, this could essentially provide a smile makeover. Our team could even discuss providing teeth whitening beforehand, so your new restorations blend with your brightest smile.
