When veneers are recommended
Dental veneers are thin layers of ceramic material. Each one is custom-shaped to improve the appearance of a particular tooth. Veneers adhere to the front surfaces of teeth â usually the front teeth that show when you smile.
Here are some of the ways veneers can be used to enhance your smile:
- As âinstantâ orthodontics, it makes teeth appear straight and even.
- To close spaces between teeth.
- To mask chips, cracks, and other imperfections in tooth enamel.
- For better uniformity in the shape or size of teeth.
- To disguise stubborn discoloration or simply make your âsmile teethâ brighter (other teeth can be lightened with professional whitening to blend with veneers)
The power of six veneers
For many of our patients, we recommend using âsix veneersâ to effectively address the most visible imperfections in their smiles. The six upper front teethâfrom canine to canineâare usually the most noticeable when you smile. By applying veneers to just these six teeth, we can achieve a significant transformation in your smile.
The process for porcelain veneers in Plano, TX
Following a consultation at Southfork Dental, your smile can be transformed in just two visits. At the first appointment, the teeth are prepared. This entails removing a thin layer of enamel to allow veneers to fit properly and look natural. Impressions are taken, and you and the doctor select shading. This information goes to a laboratory where a dental ceramist crafts each veneer. It takes a week or two, so if your teeth are sensitive, Dr. Kolli may apply interim temporary resin veneers.
When you return for your second veneers appointment, interim restorations (if any) are removed. The new veneers are fitted, trimmed, cemented in place, and buffed. You go home with a big, satisfied smile and instructions for keeping veneers intact and looking great. That generally means brushing and flossing diligently and protecting teeth with a mouth guard during sports.
