During this time of year, you are likely going to take plenty of pictures with your friends and family. If you’ve noticed that you have stubborn stains on the surface of your teeth or your smile is not as symmetrical as you’d like it to be, we have cosmetic options that may be able to help you. One of these options is porcelain veneers, which uses porcelain shells to cover the front of your natural tooth. In today’s blog, your team at Allen and Neumann Family Dentistry in Pella, IA, is here today to talk about how this cosmetic treatment can help improve the appearance of your pearly whites.
You will first need a consultation with your dentist to ensure this is a suitable option for you. You will need to be free of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns before your smile can be prepared for veneers. This cosmetic treatment can help solve various concerns on your pearly whites, including stubborn blemishes, teeth that do not respond to whitening, minor chips and cracks, spaced between your teeth, and more. This is a highly customizable option, meaning you can choose the shape, size, and shade of the veneer, along with which teeth you’d like covered. Other cosmetic treatment options, such as bonding or whitening, can also be discussed with your dentist during this consultation.
Porcelain veneers can be used for a variety of cosmetic purposes. If you have stubborn discoloration that does not respond to whitening, this may be a helpful option for you. In many cases, these difficult blemishes could occur below the enamel, making them impossible to break down with a bleaching treatment. Instead of spending time and money on ineffective treatments, veneers can be used to disguise the blemishes and refresh your smile. This cosmetic option can also help cover small gaps between your teeth.
Porcelain veneers offer many advantages, including being highly durable and appearing lifelike. The material used for this cosmetic upgrade is long-lasting, and you can continue eating many of your favorite foods after the porcelain has been placed. The goal for this cosmetic treatment is to improve your smile while looking natural. After having your consultation, measurements of your oral cavity will be sent to a lab where they will create your custom shells. The goal is to make the shells fit snuggly to your natural teeth so that they fit your smile naturally.
