Did you know that with a single cosmetic treatment option, we can completely change the appearance of smiles in Charles City, IA? By creating one or more porcelain veneers, we can help improve the appearance of your smile in as little as two visits. How do we use veneers to transform your smile? What does the fabrication and placement process involve?
How Do Veneers Work?
A porcelain veneer covers the front and sides of the tooth, which means placement can instantly change the appearance of the smile. We create them from porcelain, a strong material that contains stain-resistant properties and mimics the translucent nature of tooth enamel. We can also shade porcelain to better match the color of surrounding teeth. When placed, they help change the shape and color of the teeth, improving a wide array of cosmetic issues. To place them, we first need to remove a thin layer of enamel from the tooth and take detailed impressions, which we use in the design process. Once complete, the patient returns for a second visit so we can place the restoration with a powerful bonding agent. The entire process only takes two visits to finish!
What Issues Will They Address?
We’ve used them to mask serious discoloration. Permanent teeth stains, also known as intrinsic teeth stains, form below the enamel and may be impossible to address with traditional teeth whitening, Fortunately, we can cover them. We also repair minor cracks and chips and lengthen worn down teeth. Our treatments can also reshape malformed or misshapen teeth as well, close gaps between the teeth, and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment. After placement, you can enjoy a stunning new smile!
How Do I Keep My Restorations Bright?
Routine care helps protect the teeth the restoration is attached to, while also keeping the material bright. You should brush your teeth for two minutes when you wake up and again before going to bed. You also need to floss before bed as well. Every six months, you should examine your smile and have your teeth cleaned. These actions all help reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, protecting your natural teeth and maintaining your new restorations as well.
