When you have more than just stained teeth, you may need more than just teeth whitening. Fortunately, with porcelain veneers our team can create custom restorations to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once. In today’s blog, your Rochester, MN, dentist talks about how we create custom veneers.
The Cosmetic Capabilities of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are restorations that are very thin, and we place them onto the front of the teeth to cover the visible portions of the tooth. Which means we can instantly improve the overall appearance of your smile. Which means our team can instantly mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that would otherwise resist teeth whitening. Placement could fill gaps between the teeth and also correct misshapen ones. We can address minor tooth damage, and lengthen teeth worn down by bruxism. If you have minor misalignment we can correct the appearance of the smile’s alignment in one visit, so you avoid the need for braces or aligners to enjoy an even smile. For many, porcelain veneers offer a smile makeover in only two visits.
Creating and Placing Them
Each one will be custom-made for your smile. To get started, our team will first gently remove structure from the outside of the teeth. We numb the teeth beforehand to ensure this is a comfortable process. Next, we take images of the teeth with digital systems, and in a dental lab we use these impressions to design and craft the finished product. When you return for s second visit, our team will check the fit and if needed, make some final adjustments. We then attach your completed restorations with a powerful bonding agent. Now, with proper care and your attention your new cosmetic restorations can last for years to come, helping you enjoy a brighter and more attractive smile!
Steps to Ensure They Stay Bright
Good oral hygiene habits help them stay bright, and also protect the stability of the teeth we’ve attached them to. Which means you need to brush and floss daily to control plaque buildup and lower your risk of tooth decay, infection, or even gum disease. A healthy diet and taking steps to avoid tobacco products is helpful too. Our team also suggests taking time to see us for a checkup and cleaning every six months, so we can keep an eye on your porcelain veneers and also remove harmful layers of plaque and tartar that could threaten them!
