Do you have multiple imperfections with your smile? With a single treatment option, our team can offer cosmetic improvement. Porcelain veneers offer a smile makeover for some, and placement only requires two appointments. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist talks about the benefits of placing our porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Custom Veneers
A veneer is a very thin dental restoration that we will attach to the front of a tooth, which then offers instant cosmetic improvement. The porcelain material is very durable and strong, and can handle daily bite forces and pressures. At the same time, this material is translucent and can be shaded to blend with your smile, offering a lifelike appearance.
When in place, we can use them to mask permanent teeth stains and fill gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. Placement could lengthen worn down teeth and correct misshapen or damaged teeth. We could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you enjoy a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners. As we mentioned above, for some this is a smile makeover.
Crafting Custom Porcelain Restorations
How do we create your custom porcelain veneers? If these are right for you, then we will numb the tooth or teeth being treated to ensure your comfort. We then remove a thin layer of outer enamel from each one, which makes room for the restoration. Our team will take detailed digital images and impressions of the teeth, which we use in a lab setting to design and fabricate your restoration. Being custom-made ensures a proper fit, balanced bite, and a lifelike appearance.
Attaching the Custom Restorations
When your new restorations are ready, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and make sure we don’t need to make some final adjustments. When these are complete, our team will attach them to the teeth with a powerful bonding agent, the same we use to secure crowns or dental prosthetics. With proper care and attention, they have the potential to last for years to come, so you can smile with confidence again. We could even whiten your teeth beforehand so they match your brightest possible smile!
