Porcelain Veneers Bring Beautiful Smiles To Bolingbrook
Nature may have originally blessed you with a full set of straight
, evenly spaced, white teeth. However, the passage of time and lifestyle choices can take their toll, resulting in a less-than-ideal smile. Porcelain veneers are a fast track to cosmetic enhancement. In this article, we look at the types of dental imperfections that can be improved with porcelain veneers.
A dental veneer is a shell no thicker than a contact lens, made of strong, natural-looking material (usually porcelain). A veneer is applied to the front surface of a tooth, commonly in the anterior portion of the upper or lower arch, to make it more aesthetically appealing.
Your dentist will take impressions of your mouth to have veneers custom made at a lab. They will perfectly match the color of your existing teeth, or can be as Hollywood white as youd like. A single tooth may be veneered, but most often veneers are applied to the teeth that show most when you smile. It could be two, four, six, or even eight teeth, top arch only, or uppers and lowers. The number of veneers needed depends on the condition of your teeth and your cosmetic goals.
The process usually takes just two or three appointments, following a check-up and professional cleaning. Once any existing dental problems are addressed, you and your dentist can decide if veneers are a good solution to resolve:
Discoloration. Veneers hide even deep staining (such as from tetracycline, root canal therapy, excessive fluoridation, or dingy restorations) that does not respond to whitening.
Teeth that are poorly shaped. As an alternative to dental crowns, veneers can bring uniformity to teeth that lack an attractive shape or size, or a smooth exterior (have bulges or craters).
Problems with length Veneers can also add length to teeth that are congenitally short or shortened from wear.
Misalignment If your smile is marred by the appearance of crooked teeth, but you are dont have bite problems, veneers can be a terrific alternative to months or years in orthodontics.
Spacing issues Veneers can effectively close gaps and disguise minor crowding.
Damaged teeth Veneers cover cracks, chips, and enamel fractures beautifully.
Veneers are lovely and lustrous, and very strong. However, they do not prevent decay or gum disease, so they require excellent oral hygiene. Youll still need to brush after meals, floss before you go to bed, and keep up with regular professional cleanings and check-ups. If you are a bruxer you clench or grind your teeth excessively you may need to wear a mouthguard during sleep to protect your veneers from damage.
Only a minute amount of tooth enamel is removed (or none, for no prep types) to allow the veneer to fit snugly and look natural. Talk with your dentist about whether this conservative approach to cosmetic correction is right for you. Veneers could give you the smile of your dreams in less time than you imagined possible.
