Did you know that we offer a single cosmetic treatment that can transform the overall appearance of your smile? With porcelain veneers, we could provide some patients with a total smile makeover! In today’s blog, your Maple Grove, MN, dentist talks about placing our porcelain veneers.
The Benefits of Receiving Veneers
How will one or more of our custom veneers provide a smile makeover? These thin restorations are attached to the front facing side of each tooth, instantly hanging the color and shape. Meaning when attached, we can mask teeth stains too severe for a traditional whitening treatment, and also fill in embarrassing gaps between the teeth. The process can help reshape malformed teeth, address minor damage, and even lengthen portions worn down by bruxism. For some, we could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment with them, so no need for braces or aligners to obtain an even-looking smile.
Creating Your Custom Restorations
Each one is custom-made to ensure a proper fit and a balanced bite, and we will shade them to ensure they look natural and blend with the rest of your smile. To begin, we will numb the tooth (or teeth) being treated, and then remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for them. Next, we will take images and impressions of these teeth with an intraoral camera, using the digital images in a lab setting to design and craft your custom restorations from a durable and strong porcelain, which we can color-matched to blend with the rest of your smile. We could even whiten your teeth beforehand so they match your brightest smile!
Placing Veneers
When your custom porcelain restorations are ready, our team will check the fit and then make any last-minute adjustments. Finally, we attach them to the front of your tooth with a powerful bonding agent, securing it for years to come. One could address issues with a single tooth, or several could help makeover your smile. We could also combine these with options like bonding and courting for a more cost-effective approach. To help them last and remain bright, ensure you brush and floss each day, take time to see us for checkups and cleanings every six months, and cut back on sugar and starch in your diet. Avoid tobacco products too!
