Achieve A Dazzling Smile With Porcelain Veneers

By: Gen Wright Home | Health-and-Fitness


Are you in search of a stunning smile that will impress others, including yourself? If so, porcelain veneers might be the perfect choice for your smile transformation. With the use of dental veneers, a wide array of cosmetic defects in your teeth can be corrected.

An increasingly popular cosmetic dental procedure, veneers can create a brighter, whiter smile that you have always wanted. Dental veneers can also give you a perfectly aligned smile that has translucent qualities of ceramic materials to provide a completely natural, redefined look for your teeth. Today, veneers provide a more natural look than what has been previously available in the past.

Dental Veneers Give a Reason to Smile

Veneers are custom-designed shells consisting of a tooth-like ceramic material. When applied over the surface of your tooth, worn enamel and uneven tooth alignment or spacing can be covered, in addition to other appearance deformities. Most veneers, today, are made of porcelain because it resists stains better than any other material and has a light reflecting element that is similar to your natural teeth.

According to the Academy of General Dentistry, if you are looking to mask mild to moderate tooth discolorations, correct minor alignments and rotation of anterior teeth, veneers may be the right choice for your smile restoration. Veneers may help significantly change most, if not all of your cosmetic dental issues. Some problems commonly seen include:

Worn Enamel
Wear and Tear
Uneven Teeth
Accidental Damage

Providing a much more conservative approach to changing your tooth's color, size or shape, dental veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns in several situations.

The Restorative Process

Typically, veneers require at least three dental visits to complete, which involves - diagnosis and treatment planning, preparation, and bonding. To prepare your teeth for veneers, your dentist will lightly buff your teeth to allow for the small added thickness of the veneer. Typically, about half a millimeter of your tooth will be removed.

An impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a dental lab where your veneers are custom fabricated. At your next dental visit, your dentist will attach the veneers to your teeth with a special adhesive to keep them in place permanently. During a two-week period of adjustment that follows your procedure, you may notice a slight change in the size and shape of your teeth.

Porcelain veneers are not perfect replacements for teeth, but are reasonable alternatives. It isn't uncommon to see variations in the color of your veneers in comparison to your natural teeth upon close inspection as this occurs in natural teeth as well.

Veneers are not for everyone, and require proper consultation with your dentist. Upon review and diagnosis, your Ottawa dentist will assess and develop a proper treatment plan for altering the appearance of your smile. A more attractive smile is within reach with porcelain veneers.
