Are you unhappy with your smile? If you have been thinking about cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of your teeth, porcelain veneers may be one option to achieve a beautiful smile.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are made of a translucent, glass-like ceramic material that can be made to closely resemble your natural tooth color. They are often used to cover small defects in teeth, such as cracks, chips or uneven lengths of teeth. They are also used to brighten your smile, returning them to their natural luster. Porcelain veneers are custom made by dentists who specialize in this procedure, and are fitted specifically to your teeth.
What are the steps involved?
Your natural teeth must be prepared before porcelain veneers can be fitted. This involves shaping of your natural teeth so that they will be able to accommodate the veneers. Once this has been done, you will be fitted for temporary veneers, which will be worn while your permanent veneers are being created in the laboratory. But don’t worry! Your temporary veneers will look great. When your permanent porcelain veneers are ready, they will be fitted. The end result will be strong and beautiful teeth that should last for many years to come, if not forever.
How many visits will it take?
Your porcelain veneers could be done is as little as 2 visits. First, your teeth will need to be prepared. Your temporary veneers will need to be fitted, and then there will be a short waiting period before your permanent veneers are ready. Custom creation takes time, but in the meantime, you can rest assured that your temporary veneers will be as beautiful as your permanent ones will be.
Do I have to be careful eating with veneers?
You will be able to eat normally with your new porcelain veneers. You will be happy to know that there are no restrictions with porcelain veneers. Of course, you will still need to visit your dentist regularly to maintain the health of your teeth and gums.
Who can fit porcelain veneers?
The creation and fitting of porcelain veneers takes a lot of skill and training. Ideally, you should choose a dentist who is very experienced in working with veneers. It is a good idea to ask to see some examples of work that the dentist has done in this area. This can be in the form of before and after pictures. Ask if the dentist has any testimonials provided by satisfied customers.
Are porcelain veneers expensive?
Porcelain veneers may be less expensive than other cosmetic dentistry options. Cost will depend on the amount of work to be done. It’s difficult to put a price on a beautiful smile. Most people who have porcelain veneers are very satisfied and believe that the boost to their self-confidence is well worth the cost.
