When you have several concerns regarding the shape and color of your teeth, you may need more than just teeth whitening. Fortunately, our approach to cosmetic dentistry also includes custom restorations. At your Avon, OH, dental practice, our team can secure composite and porcelain veneers!
The Cosmetic Concerns We Can Address
Veneers are a unique cosmetic treatment. These are thin restorations that we place onto the front facing sides of the teeth. Which means we can use them to correct a number of cosmetic imperfections, often at once. For example, if you have teeth stains too severe for teeth whitening, we can instantly mask them. Placement can repair minor damage, reshape malformed teeth, and even lengthen structures worn down by teeth grinding. We can also close gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. The procedure can also correct the appearance of minor misalignment in some cases, so you have a straighter looking smile. For some, this is a smile makeover in only two visits!
Composite Resin vs. Porcelain
What do we make them from? We have two different materials we can use to craft our custom veneers from. For example, we have composite resin, the same material employed in our filling and bonding procedures, which can be used to cover the teeth and correct cosmetic concerns in only one visit. We also have porcelain, a durable and lifelike material that can be used to create crowns, bridges, and even implant restorations. Porcelain can be shaded to blend with your smile and stay in place for years to come, transforming your smile. We will examine your smile and talk about which material we think will best suit your smile.
Placing Your Cosmetic Restorations
To place your veneer, we will numb the tooth or teeth being treated. We then gently remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them. Once we do, our team will take detailed digital images of them from multiple angles, which are used in a dental lab setting to design and craft your custom restoration. We then attach the composite or porcelain veneers with a powerful bonding agent. This completes your new tooth, and we can discuss better at-home oral hygiene routines to ensure your new restorations last and remain bright. If you have any questions about how we treat concerns like these and improve your overall oral health and smile beauty, then contact our team today to learn more.
