12 Aug How Lifelike Veneers Can Transform Your Smile
When your smile is afflicted by ulcers or canker sores, it can be painful and difficult to manage. In addition to standard oral health concerns, smiles face a variety of threats throughout the course of your lifetime. For some, the biggest concern is not a direct health threat but the effects of age, wear, and tear on their smile’s appearance. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX dentist explains how cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile and explains what to expect from porcelain veneer treatment.
Many Smiles Benefit from Cosmetic Care
Though you may take every step to keep your smile safe and healthy, the truth of the matter is that age affects its appearance. Moreover, factors such as diet, surface-level damage, and uneven appearance or alignment can contribute to a reduction in confidence, as many with smile blemishes report insecurity. Fortunately, healthy smiles can benefit from cosmetic dentistry, and our team is ready to help.
Whereas preventive care focuses on maintaining your smile’s health, cosmetic treatment strives to enhance your smile’s overall appearance by addressing noticeable, surface-level blemishes or concerns. There are different options to address different blemishes and needs, but a popular treatment for its minimally invasive and versatile nature is veneer treatment. Ask our team about your cosmetic dental options today.
Veneers Offer Versatility
While teeth whitening can address stains and discoloration, it is no match for surface-level chips and cracks. Bonding and contouring can address these issues but may not be ideal for other concerns. Veneers, on the other hand, can address cracks, chips, stains, and minorly uneven teeth, all without having to significantly alter your oral structures. Dental veneers consist of ultra-thin shells of dental porcelain or ceramic that are designed to be placed on the front of your teeth. They only require a minimal amount of enamel sculpting to place and are praised for their lifelike finish. For more information about this process, do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
What to Expect from Your Visit
Your cosmetic appointment will begin with an examination and discussion of your goals and treatment plan. After this, we will take your measurements and have a custom veneer or multiple veneers crafted for your smile. To secure them, your dentist will sculpt a minimal amount of enamel, then bond the shells to the surfaces of your teeth using a dental cement. Your dentist will inform you of aftercare instructions, and then you are good to go!
