What can dental veneers do for my smile?
Fixing dental imperfections is what we do with cosmetic dental treatments like veneers. Dental veneers are customized thin shells of porcelain or composite placed on the front surfaces of your teeth. With veneers, Dr. Michelle Janbakhsh and her team can correct several dental flaws and give you that beautiful, attention-grabbing grin.
Here are some cosmetic concerns we can address with veneers.
- Severely stained or discolored teeth
- Unevenly shaped or sized teeth
- Cracked, worn-down, or chipped teeth
- Uneven texture, jagged edges, or craze lines
- Unsightly spaces/gaps between teeth
- Mildly crooked teeth
How are dental veneers placed?
Understanding the veneer procedure ensures you are 100% informed before your treatment. Your procedure starts with a consultation. Before crafting a specialized treatment plan, we’ll examine your oral health and discuss your expectations. Sometimes, you don’t need a full set of veneers but just one or two. We always look at the full picture and find solutions that meet your needs.
To place veneers, we must prepare your teeth by removing about 0.5mm of the enamel from the front and sides. This enamel removal is minimal, just enough to accommodate the thickness of your veneers for a seamless finish. Next, the dentist will take models of your teeth. These will form the blueprint when creating your customized veneers.
Your veneers will take several days to place. In the meantime, we’ll cover your prepped teeth with provisional veneers. When your veneers are shipped to our office, you’ll schedule an appointment for placement. We’ll check the fit and appearance of your veneers before using dental adhesives to secure your veneers to your teeth.
Do the results look natural?
Porcelain veneers are artificial, but this doesn’t mean your smile will look unnatural—far from it! Porcelain is famous for its translucent quality, allowing light to pass through much like natural enamel—the light-reflecting properties of porcelain result in a natural-looking appearance.
No one will notice you have undergone a smile enhancement unless you say something. All people will see is a stunning yet natural-looking smile.
What are the benefits of porcelain veneers?
We already know the results are life-looking. However, there’s more to porcelain veneers. These include.
- Durability—With proper care and following the provided care instructions, porcelain veneers can last more than 10 years.
- Biocompatibility—porcelain veneers are “tissue friendly,” so don’t expect inflammation, itchiness, or other adverse reactions.Â
- Stain resistance—unlike natural enamel, porcelain is impervious. Porcelain veneers don’t absorb stains from coffee, red wine, tea, and other staining substances.Â
- Minimally invasive—The procedure involves removing a small amount of the enamel.
