When you have issues with both the color and shape of your teeth, we can help with a single treatment option. With porcelain veneers, our team can craft custom dental restorations that are designed to improve smile beauty. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist talks about how we improve smiles with one or more of our custom porcelain veneers.
The Smile Makeover Potential
Each veneer is a very thin restoration that we attach to the front of a tooth. Once in place, this instantly changes the appearance of the smile and can offer a makeover for some patients. When we attach your custom porcelain veneers, these can mask permanent teeth stains, repair minor chips, lengthen worn down tooth structure, and even close unsightly gaps and black triangle paces between the teeth. For some, multiple ones could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you obtain a straighter-looking smile. We can take one multiple smile imperfections at once!
The Process of Creating Your Restorations
How do we craft our custom veneers for your smile? To begin, we will numb the teeth being treated with a local anesthetic, and then gently remove a thin layer of outer enamel from the surfaces of the teeth. Next, we will take detailed images and measurements of these prepared teeth with digital technology. In a dental lab setting, we will use the images and measurements to design and fabricate the restorations. The porcelain material we use can be shaded to blend with your smile, and can handle daily bite forces with ease.
Attaching a Completed Cosmetic Restoration
When your cosmetic dental restorations are ready, we will connect them to the teeth with a powerful bonding agent. Once in place, they can stay there for years to come and routine care at home and in our office can help them stay bright. For example, you should take time to brush and floss daily, and also cut back on the sugar in your diet and avoid tobacco products. These actions keep them bright and safeguard the teeth we have attached them to. You should also see our team every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning, so we can monitor your questions and remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup.
