Porcelain veneers are crafted by a ceramist in a lab. These highly skilled craftspeople are sent the measurements and impressions that your Pella, IA cosmetic dentist takes at your first veneer appointment. Veneers consist of wafer-thin discs that cover over flaws providing a translucence that’s just about identical to the way natural teeth look when they reflect light. They can also be made to your customized choice of color and shape. Veneers are adhered to the front of your teeth, so they do not need to be encapsulated to achieve the full cosmetic affect. All of those movie stars with shiny and perfectly symmetrical teeth? It’s a good bet that more than a few of them are sporting porcelain dental veneers.
Are you interested in veneers but afraid that they’ll require special care that you don’t want to commit to? You can treat veneers just like your natural teeth. Brush and floss in the exact same way. You may want to opt for the most minimally abrasive ADA-approved toothpaste. Veneers can become scratched and damaged just as tooth enamel can. However, by and large, you can use all of the same oral hygiene practices, including going to the dentist for checkups and cleanings every six months.
