One way to achieve the smile you always hoped for is through dental veneers. These porcelain shells fit right over the fronts of your teeth to make them look straight, white, and healthy. Customized just for you, veneers are a natural-looking way to enhance your smile and make you look younger.
The first step is to schedule an appointment with a cosmetic dentist. Factors will be discussed such as your dental history and goals, and an examination will be performed to determine the extent of your oral health issues. If porcelain veneers are the right treatment for you, several dental visits will be necessary to complete the process.
The veneer procedure usually involves gently removing the top layer of your tooth enamel to create space for the veneer to fit. The dentist will make an impression of your teeth and sent to a laboratory so that your personalized veneers can be created. You and your dentist will be able to select the color of your veneers so that they look natural but provide you with a beautiful bright smile. Once the veneers are ready, you will return to your dentist to have them permanently bonded to your existing teeth. It is a painless process that doesn’t require extensive time in the dental chair.
Porcelain veneers usually last for decades if you care for them properly. Central Falls, RI cosmetic dentist Dr. Frias will explain how to maintain them and help them last as long as possible. You can expect your dental veneers to give you a flawless smile that will make you proud to show off your pearly whites.
