How veneers can achieve that smile
At Sebastian River Dentistry in Sebastian, Fl, Dr. Mark Peterson and his team help people reach their aesthetic smile goals. To change those defects which bother your self-image, see him for an informative consultation. He'll examine your teeth and gums, take some X-rays and photos and discuss the changes you envision.
Fortunately, veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry treatments around. Thin layers of premium quality ceramic, these laminates bond to the front of teeth which are chipped, mildly misaligned, cracked, gapped, or irretrievably stained. However, if they are basically healthy, veneers can give you that Hollywood look and strengthen your tooth structure, too.
How veneers work
In our Sebastian, FL, office, Dr. Peterson takes impressions of your teeth and removes a small amount of tooth enamel--a critical step toward your new smile. Resurfacing also makes your porcelain veneers permanent, and that's OK because you know you'll enjoy their appearance indefinitely.
As part of your treatment plan, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. Pertinent details go to the lab, and you wear temporary laminates in the meantime.
When you return to Sebastian River Dentistry, Dr. Peterson removes the temporary veneers and applies a layer of light-sensitive bonding adhesive. Once the veneer is placed, he hardens the glue, and you're ready to go.
Advantages of porcelain veneers
1. You can remake the contours and color of healthy teeth.
2. They require simple care--brushing, flossing, and six-month cleanings at Sebastian River Dentistry.
3. Veneers resist discolorations from foods, drinks, and cigarettes, says the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).
4. They last. Just protect them against teeth clenching and hard food choices, such as caramel apples.
5. Also known as instant orthodontics, veneers cover narrow gaps and smooth out mild crookedness and overlapping teeth. No braces!
