What if a single cosmetic treatment could make up for multiple esthetic imperfections? With our porcelain veneers, our team can change the shape and color of your teeth! In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist talks about how we help smiles with the placement of our durable and lifelike porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Capabilities Veneers Provide
If you have issues with the appearance of your smile, then we could take on several at once with the placement of our porcelain veneers. Each of these custom restorations is very thin and attached to the front-facing side of the tooth. Once in place, this instantly changes the color to mask severe teeth stains, and also reshapes the tooth. Reshaping the tooth can repair minor damage, address malformed structures, and add length to teeth worn-down by factors like bruxism (teeth grinding). For some, we could even fill in gaps between the teeth and correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile. All of this is possible in only two visits!
Creating Your New Cosmetic Restorations
How do we craft custom veneers for our patients? To begin, we will need to numb the tooth (or teeth) being treated. Once we do, we can comfortably remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for your new restorations. Our team next takes images of the teeth with an intraoral camera, which we then use in a dental lab setting to design and craft a new restoration. The porcelain we use is very durable and can handle daily bite foes and pressures with ease, we use the same for crowns and even dental implant restorations. The material can also be color-matched for a more attractive appearance too, so it blends with the rest of your smile.
The Placement Process
Once we have completed your new restoration, we will check the fit to make sure we don’t need to make final adjustments. We then attach the final restoration with a powerful bonding agent, which can secure it for years to come. With routine care at home and checkups and cleanings with our team, we can help ensure your new results stay bright and in place for years to come, and also safeguard your natural tooth structures too.
