How Porcelain Veneers Improve Your Smile

What if there was a single cosmetic treatment option that can address multiple imperfections at once? With our porcelain veneers, we have a thin shell of porcelain that can offer a smile makeover in just two visits. In today’s blog, your North Hollywood, CA, dentist talks about improving smiles with porcelain veneers.

The Cosmetic Capabilities of Our Restorations

Each veneer is a very thin restoration that covers the front of a tooth, which instantly changes the appearance and combats multiple cosmetic issues at once. For example, upon placement they can instantly mask permanent teeth stains that could otherwise resist traditional teeth whitening. We’ve used them to fill embarrassing gaps between the teeth or to even repair minor damage. We can mask imperfections with the shape of the teeth too, and even lengthen structures worn down by teeth grinding. If you have minor misalignment, we could correct the appearance of your smile to offer a straighter-looking appearance without the need for braces or aligners. For some, this is a complete smile makeover in just two visits!

Creating and Placing Your Cosmetic Dental Restoration

To begin, we will numb the teeth being treated, and we then gently remove a thin layer of enamel from them. Once we do, our team will take detailed digital images and measurements of the smile with advanced scanning technology. With this information, we can begin the process of designing and fabricating your new veneers in a lab setting. When they are ready, you will return to the office so we can check the fit and make any final adjustments. We then attach them with a powerful bonding agent. In just two visits, we can transform the beauty of your smile!

Protecting Them

Once your new restoration is in place, you will want them to stay bright and strong. To help them stay in place and avoid discoloration, you need to brush and floss daily, and see our team for checkups and cleanings every six months too. At home, try to avoid too much sugar and starch in your diet, and avoid tobacco products too. These actions not only protect the teeth we’ve attached your veneers too, but they safeguard your natural teeth against issues like decay, infection, or even gum disease.
