Porcelain veneers don’t just tackle a single aspect of your smile’s appearance, but can completely transform the overall esthetics in as little as two visits. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX, dentist will explain how we create one or more lifelike veneers for our patients, and what can be done to keep them bright for years to come!
Creating a Porcelain Veneer
A porcelain veneer transforms the appearance of each tooth restored because they cover the front and the sides of the tooth, completely altering the visible portions upon placement. Each one is crafted specifically for your smile and created from porcelain. The porcelain we use can be shaded to blend with the smile, and contains stain-resistant properties. The material is also very durable, and able to absorb the family bite forces and pressure that is expected of your teeth.
The fabrication process begins with preparation. We remove a thin layer of enamel from the outside the tooth, and then take detailed impressions and images. We use the information to begin designing and creating the veneer in a dental lab setting.
Placing Your Cosmetic Restoration
When we finally complete your new cosmetic restoration, our team will have you come back to the office so we can check the fit and if needed, make any final adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. The next step involves attaching the restoration with a powerful bonding agent, the same we use to secure crowns, inlays, and onlays. Since the teeth we attach these restorations to will still be vulnerable to issues like tooth decay or periodontal disease, you need to continue brushing and flossing daily at home, enjoy a healthier diet, and also see us every six months for a dental exam and a thorough cleaning, all of which keeps your restoration bright and protects natural tooth structure.
Improving Esthetics
We can use them to mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that form beneath the enamel and may not respond to teeth whitening. We also correct the appearance of minor misalignment in some cases, providing patients with an alternative to braces. We instantly correct misshapen teeth, and also repair minor chips and cracks as well. The placement process could even lengthen the teeth worn-down by teeth grinding, and close unsightly gaps between them as well. If you have any questions about our approach to cosmetic dentistry, then contact our team today. We want to help you start a new year with a stunning new smile.
