It can seem impossible to maintain the same white, vibrant, and beautiful smile in your youth as you begin to age. There are so many factors that can cause your teeth to become yellowed. Even with a proper oral hygiene regimen, including brushing, flossing, and rinsing, your teeth will begin to lose that pearlescent appearance. But, thanks to porcelain veneers, you have an affordable and reliable option to restore your smile. Dental patients in the Greenmeadows, Napier area depend on Dr Sundar Jagadeesan and the team at Dentiq Dental for this restoration.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to your teeth’ front surface area, providing a natural and healthy look. Porcelain veneers can conceal imperfections in your smile, consisting of:
When you go in to see your dentist, imaging or impressions will be taken so that your porcelain veneers can be customized to your smile. The fit will be excellent, provide no discomfort, and exude a natural look once adhered to your teeth.
When you go in for your initial appointment, your dentist will require you to undergo a dental exam to verify you are a suitable candidate. That is important to ensure that veneers will be effective for your situation and ensure that the work needed will be performed safely.
Once you get past this initial exam and have been considered a viable candidate for the procedure, impressions of your teeth will be taken. Some dentists also employ cutting edge imaging technology to get a 3D image of your teeth. Either way, this is necessary to send to the lab where your veneers will be created.
During this first visit, you will likely receive temporary veneers. First, your dentist will remove a wafer-thin layer of enamel before bonding the temporary veneer. You will set an appointment to return once your permanent veneers are ready. The temporary veneers will be removed and then replaced by your permanent veneers. A robust dental adhesive will be used to apply your veneers, and then a dental light used to complete the bonding. The result is veneers that match your natural teeth’ shape and shade so that nobody will know that you have veneers. Of course, you will want to show your smile off to the world!
Once your dentist has finished the process of placing your veneers, there could be some slight tooth sensitivity. That is normal, and you should not worry about this. Any sensitivity should subside within a week or two. Your dentist will advise you to avoid any grinding of the teeth or biting down on hard objects/foods, including ice or candy that is hard. Maintenance of your porcelain veneers could not be more straightforward. Treat them as you would your natural teeth. Maintain a proper oral hygiene regimen at home, and your veneers should remain in great shape for years to come!
