When you have several concerns with the overall appearance of your smile, we could potentially address them at once with a single treatment option. Porcelain veneers are thin restorations that can offer major improvement for your smile. In today’s blog, your Maple Grove, MN, dentist talks about how we help smiles with porcelain veneers.
The Reasons to Consider Veneers
Why should you consider porcelain veneers? Well, if you have more than one issue with the appearance of your smile, then these can offer major transformation in just two visits. For example, we can mask permanent teeth stains that don’t respond to traditional teeth whitening procedures. Our team can address dental damage, such as cracks and chips, and can lengthen worn-down teeth too. We can reshape malformed teeth and also close unsightly gaps between them too. We can even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners.
How We Create and Place Them
To begin, we will examine your smile to see if these are right for you. If so, we will numb the teeth being treated and remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them. Once we complete this portion, we will take detailed digital images and measurements of the prepared teeth from multiple angles. This information will be used by experts in a lab setting to design and craft your custom restorations. When they’re finally ready, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and make any minor adjustments necessary. Our team then attaches them to the teeth with a powerful bonding agent, the same we use to secure crowns and bridges.
Keeping Your New Restorations Bright
To keep your restorations bright and safeguard the teeth we’ve connected them to, you need good oral hygiene habits. Caring for your smile protects your natural teeth and keeps your restorations strong and in place for years to come. You should take time to brush and floss daily, cut back on the sugar and starch in your diet, and see our team for a routine dental exam and cleaning every six months. Be sure to avoid tobacco products too! If you have any questions about how we design and place custom veneers to transform the beauty of your smile in only two visits, then contact our team today to learn more. Let’s make major changes to your smile this year, so you can smile with confidence again.
