Achieving the perfect smile with porcelain tooth veneers.

A glowing, healthy, and vibrant smile is easier to attain than ever before! Cosmetic dentistry has made extraordinary advances over the last few years that make it possible for virtually everyone to have the smile they have always desired. Porcelain tooth veneers are used by cosmetic dentists for many different purposes. You may choose to have porcelain veneers placed on your teeth in order to give you that killer smile that you have always dreamed of, or you might want veneers to correct misshapen teeth, disfigured teeth, or gaps between teeth.

Porcelain veneers are an extremely thin, wafer like shells of porcelain that are custom-made to fit on the front surfaces of your teeth.
Here are some advantages to having veneers:

1. They deliver a life-like looking finish.
2. They are stain resistant.
3. They can be used for cosmetic reasons.
4. They can be used in place of orthodontic dentistry, avoiding braces.
5. They can be used to easily cover minuet imperfections, holes, or chips in your teeth.

If you’ve decided that veneers are the thing for you, your cosmetic dentist will go over options available to you. This of course depends on what repairs are needed to your teeth or if it is strictly cosmetic. Your dentist will give you the best options available to you in order to achieve the results you want.

If you choose porcelain veneers, you will first have to have an impression made of your teeth which will then be sent to a dental lab. The lab will then make a wax model of what your teeth will look after the veneers have been applied.

This will give you an idea of what your teeth will look like after the procedure is finished. You can go over any changes that might need to be made before your dentist starts the procedure. Once you’ve decided that the mold is acceptable it is sent back to the lab to make your custom porcelain veneers.

The next step is the prep work. This is done by applying temporary veneers to you teeth. At this time your cosmetic dentist can make any corrections to the teeth that need the work done and it also gives you an opportunity to see and get a feel for the porcelain veneers.

When your mold is finished at the lab, it is returned to your dentist. At that time your return to the dentist in order to have your temporary veneers removed and the new porcelain veneers attached to your teeth. You might experience a bit of sensitivity for a couple of days, but that about it.
Through the magic of sedation dentistry, anxious patients can sleep or be pleasantly distracted from any potential unpleasant aspect of dental procedures. Overall, putting up with a little discomfort is well worth the end result of obtaining a beautiful smile.
