Has your smile faded? Do you have discolored or chipped teeth? Maybe you are not the right candidate for an in-office whitening procedure. If so, ask us about veneers. These restorations will enhance your smile and make it whiter and brighter.
Veneers Can Improve the Look of Misshapen or Uneven Teeth
If your teeth are misshapen or your smile is uneven, we can improve your smile with veneers. These thin ceramic or porcelain shells fit on the front teeth and enhance your teeth' looks. When we place porcelain veneers, we must remove a small layer of enamel from the front and sides of the teeth to fit the restorations so they will look natural. We take impressions of your teeth so your veneers can be created in a lab. After several days, we place the veneers to check the fit before the teeth are professionally cleaned, and the veneers are bonded to your teeth.
Veneers Whiten and Brighten the Smile
As mentioned, veneers may also be used to whiten and brighten a smile. If your smile has faded and you are not a good candidate for in-office whitening, you may want to opt for porcelain veneers. You can also choose veneers made of composite resin. These veneers are more affordable, although they will not last as long as their porcelain counterparts. However, we can repair composite resin veneers faster, and placement is easier. After we sculpt the composite material, we use a special light to cure and bond the composite resin to the teeth. Afterward, we will smooth and polish the veneers, so they look like your natural teeth.
What You Need to Know Before Getting Veneers
If you suffer from bruxism (clenching and grinding of the teeth), we warn against getting veneers, as the action can loosen the restorations. In this case, depending on the severity of the condition, we may recommend that you wear a mouth guard. Also, your gums must be healthy before you can get veneers. Therefore, if you have gum disease, we will need to treat the condition first.
