If you have several cosmetic imperfections, then we could employ a custom restoration that can take on multiple concerns at once. In fact, the use of several of our porcelain veneers could provide a smile makeover. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about the benefits of our custom porcelain veneers.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Each veneer is a very thin shell made from porcelain, a durable material that we can shade to blend with the rest of your smile. We attach these to the front of each tooth, and once in place they instantly alter the color and shape of the tooth to correct multiple cosmetic imperfections. When placed, we can mask teeth stains too severe to be removed with teeth whitening. We can also address damaged or misshapen teeth, and even add length to worn down teeth too. Placement could fill gaps and black triangle spaces between teeth, and we could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for orthodontics.
Creating Your Porcelain Restoration
The key to the lifelike appearance and long-lasting benefits is the fact that each one is custom-made for your smile. To begin, we will numb the tooth or teeth being treated, so that you stay comfortable as we remove outer structure from them. We then take detailed images and impressions of the teeth, using this information in a lab setting to design and craft your custom restorations from porcelain. We may even whiten your teeth beforehand so that the veneers match your brightest possible smile.
Placing Them
When your custom cosmetic restorations are ready, you can return to the office so that we can check the fit and make any last-minute adjustments. We then attach them with a powerful bonding agent, which can keep them in place for years to come. With proper care and attention, you can take steps to keep your smile bright and ensure the restoration can truly last. For example, you should brush and floss daily, cut back on the amount of sugar in your diet, and avoid tobacco products. Try to see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months too. These actions can protect both your new restorations and your natural tooth structures and gums too.
