Restorations, such as fillings and crowns, can repair teeth and offer an attractive appearance. But we also have custom cosmetic restorations that can address multiple esthetic imperfections at once! In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about how we treat your smile’s cosmetic issues with our custom porcelain veneers.
A Look at Porcelain Veneers
A porcelain veneer is a very thin shell that we place onto the front facing side of the tooth. Once attached to a tooth, this instantly changes the front and sides to correct multiple cosmetic issues at once. The porcelain material can absorb daily bite forces and pressures with ease, as this is also used to create crowns and even dental bridges or dental implant restorations. The material is also translucent like natural tooth enamel and can be shaded to blend with your smile seamlessly. But how do we create and place them for our patients?
How We Craft Them
To begin, we will need to numb the tooth or teeth being treated. We then remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them to make room for the restoration. Our team next gathers detailed digital images and impressions of the tooth from multiple angles, using these images and measurements in a dental lab setting to design and fabricate your custom restorations. Each one is custom-made to ensure a comfortable fit, lifelike appearance, and a balanced bite afterward. We then place them in a second visit, attaching them to your teeth with a powerful bonding agent. With proper care and attention, they can stay bright and beautiful for years to come.
Cosmetic Benefits
When placed, our team can mask permanent teeth stains that could otherwise resist traditional teeth whitening. Our team can close gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth too, and also lengthen worn down teeth and repair minor chips and cracks. Placement can help address misshapen teeth too. For many, this provides a smile makeover in only two visits. We could even combine them with other cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening, dental bonding, and contouring, so you can enjoy a stunning new smile in as little as two visits.
