Do you have more than one issue with the appearance of your smile? If so, then you could benefit from cosmetic dentistry. With porcelain veneers, we have a single treatment option that can address multiple imperfections at once. In today’s blog, Dr. Stewart, DDS, PC talks about helping smiles in Livonia, MI, with our veneers.
The Cosmetic Improvements Veneers Provide
When you have multiple cosmetic imperfections, we could potentially address them all at once with one or more porcelain veneers. Each restoration will be custom-made for your smile and attached to the front of the tooth, instantly changing the shape and color. When in place, this will cover up teeth stains too severe to be removed with whitening alone. Our team could also use this to help fill in open gaps in your smile, or to reshape malformed or damaged teeth. We could lengthen any teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding) and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you obtain a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces. Our team could also combine these with teeth whitening and other cosmetic treatments, such as bonding and contouring, for a smile makeover.
Creating and Placing Your Porcelain Veneers
How do we create and place these custom cosmetic restorations? To begin, we will examine your smile and plan the process in detail. We numb the tooth or teeth being treated and gently remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them. Our team next takes detailed images and measurements of the prepped teeth, which will be used in a dental lab setting to design and craft your restorations from porcelain. In the meantime, we will fit you with temporaries to protect your smile from sensitivity.
The porcelain we use is very strong and can handle daily bite forces with ease. The same material is also used to create crowns and even dental prosthetics, like bridges. When you return to the office, we will attach the restorations to the front of each tooth with a powerful bonding agent, so you leave with a transformed smile. If you have any questions about how we help smiles with one or more of our porcelain veneers, or if you are ready to transform your smile this summer, then reach out to our office today to learn more and start your treatment journey.
