Do you notice flaws in your smile when you look in the mirror? Perhaps you have gaps between your teeth or yellow stains in your enamel. It can affect your confidence around others. You don’t have to live with chipped, discolored, or otherwise imperfect teeth. Give your smile a whole new look and learn more about porcelain veneers with a qualified, experienced dentist in Lawrenceville.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells that are shaped to fit over and bond to the front of your teeth. Resembling natural teeth, these veneers are stain-resistant and can last for years.
What problems can porcelain veneers fix?
Porcelain veneers can adjust the size, color, and shape of your teeth. As a result, they can address these common issues:
- Stained enamel
- Crooked or uneven teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
What is the process for getting porcelain veneers?
At the first appointment, the dentist removes about one millimeter of tooth enamel to prepare the teeth for the veneers. The dentist also needs to obtain detailed impressions and measurements of your teeth, which are sent to a dental lab where your veneers are custom made by a dental technician. At the second appointment, the dentist adheres the personalized veneers to your teeth with a special resin cement.
What are the advantages of porcelain veneers?
On top of resisting stains and lasting for a long time, they look great! Because very little of the tooth is removed in the process, you will likely need little to no anesthesia for this treatment. Although veneers can chip if you chew ice or your nails, they are generally very durable. Just take care of them as you would normal teeth—with daily brushing with non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste and flossing and normal dental checkups.
Should I get porcelain veneers?
That depends. Do you want a beautiful, natural-looking smile? Of course you do! If you suffer from imperfect teeth, do something about it. Partnered with your dentist in Lawrenceville, you can put your best self out there with confidence.
