When you have cosmetic concerns with your smile, far more than can be addressed with teeth whitening alone, then we could prescribe porcelain veneers. These cosmetic restorations could offer a major smile transformation in just two sittings. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX, dentist talks about our cosmetic porcelain veneers.

Creating Porcelain Restorations

Each one your smile receives will be custom-made. Doing so ensures they fit comfortably and preserve the balance of your bite to prevent possible complications. We also create them from porcelain, a durable and strong material that can reflect the translucent nature of tooth enamel, and can be color-matched to blend with the rest of your smile seamlessly. To begin, we will numb your tooth and gently remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for the new restoration. We then craft the finished product based on the detailed digital images taken of the prepared tooth. In a dental lab, we design and place your new veneers. When they’re ready, we attach them with a powerful bonding agent.

The Cosmetic Benefits

Our team could use porcelain veneers to fill unsightly gaps between the teeth, or even mask the permanent teeth stains that may resist professional teeth whitening. Placement could also repair minor chips and cracks, or add length to teeth worn down by teeth grinding. They also correct misshapen teeth and could correct the appearance of minor misalignment. You then obtain a straighter looking smile without the need for braces or aligners. We could whiten your teeth beforehand to ensure your restorations match your brightest smile, and combine treatment with bonding and contouring, so you can enjoy a more cost effective smile makeover in as little as two visits.

Maintaining Your New Restorations

Your veneers will be attached to natural teeth, so good oral hygiene is essentially for keeping them bright and ensuring they stay in place for years to come. Make sure you brush and floss daily, and cut back on the sugary foods and drinks that cause plaque buildup and dull the brightness of your restoration. You should also avoid tobacco products, and see us for a cleaning every six months to remove harmful plaque buildup. These actions keep them bright and lower the risk of issues that could compromise them, such as tooth decay and gum disease.
