When you love your smile, it shows! You smile more often and have more confidence and self-esteem. But beautiful smiles don’t always come naturally. Sometimes, they need a little help. Porcelain teeth veneers can provide that assistance. Veneers can correct various cosmetic dental issues to improve your smile’s aesthetics. In this post, Dr. Jae Cho from Wildflower Dental in Sun City, Arizona, answers your questions about porcelain veneer treatment.
Veneers are wafer-thin, porcelain shells that Dr. Cho can bond to your teeth to improve their appearance. If you have stained, crooked, or misshapen teeth, veneers will conceal these flaws to make your smile appear brighter, uniform, and even. Dr. Cho can use veneers to make your smile look whiter, fuller, healthier, and more aesthetically pleasing.
You may be a suitable candidate for this treatment if your teeth and gums are healthy and have minor flaws that veneers can address. Veneers can resolve problems with chipped, stained, cracked, broken, misshapen, unevenly spaced, and slightly misaligned teeth. Veneers can correct multiple issues in one dental treatment to simplify the process.
A consultation with Dr. Cho and our team is the first step in getting veneers. We’ll evaluate your tooth and gum health, assess your smile, and discuss the problems you want to fix. If we feel they can be addressed with veneers, we’ll prep your teeth for veneer treatment. This entails shaving off a thin enamel layer to make space for your veneers. Next, impressions are made of your teeth and sent to a lab where veneers are fabricated. While waiting for your permanent veneers, we can put temporary ones in place. Then, we’ll switch the two when your permanent veneers come through. Once your permanent veneers are cemented in place, the transformation of your smile will be complete!
That depends on the problems you want to correct. Dr. Cho can help you map out a treatment plan to achieve the desired results for a picture-perfect smile.
Porcelain veneers are durable and long-lasting. With good oral care, they can last ten years or longer, enhancing your smile’s appearance. Because they require the removal of tooth enamel, veneers are considered a permanent treatment that needs renewing when the time comes. Good maintenance and care will keep your veneers strong for years.
No, veneers are a minimally invasive treatment that doesn’t require months of prep or major alteration of your existing teeth. For our patients with sensitive teeth, Dr. Cho can use a local anesthetic when removing enamel to make room for veneers.
