What You Should Know Before Deciding Veneers Are Right For You
When looking for dental veneers in South Lakeland, Florida, you will likely have many questions to ask about this effective cosmetic dental solution. Dr. Blanca Fernandez and her team at Highland Dental Clinic are here to answer any questions regarding porcelain teeth veneers.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are extremely thin shells explicitly made to cover the front visible surface of teeth in tooth-colored porcelain, thereby improving their appearance. They are designed to mimic the natural look and feel of real teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to various dental issues. The porcelain material is chosen for its strength, stain resistance, and ability to closely match the translucency of natural enamel.
How are porcelain veneers applied to teeth?
The application of porcelain veneers involves several steps. Initially, a dentist will prepare the teeth by removing a minimal layer of enamel from the surface where the veneer will be placed. This step ensures the veneer will fit properly and not stand out among other non-veneered teeth. Next, an impression or digital scan of the teeth is taken, which is used to create the custom veneers in a dental lab. Temporary veneers are placed to protect the prepared teeth while the permanent ones are being made. Once the custom veneers are ready, the dentist will check their fit and color. After that, they are firmly attached to the teeth using a unique adhesive hardened by a curing light.
What issues can porcelain veneers correct?
Porcelain veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic dental issues. They commonly correct discoloration or stains that do not respond to traditional whitening methods. In addition to correcting small gaps and misalignments, veneers can provide a more uniform smile without bracing. Additionally, they can repair chipped or worn teeth, providing a more even and symmetrical smile. Veneers are also effective for covering teeth that are irregularly shaped or have surface imperfections.
