Dental veneers are a very versatile cosmetic dentistry treatment that has the power to transform your smile in just a few short visits.
Some of the cosmetic issues that a great new set of veneers can correct include:
Veneers cover the visible surfaces of the teeth you see when you speak and smile. They look like very thin shells of porcelain and are affixed directly to your natural teeth. Veneers offer the chance to enhance the aesthetics of your smile in a way that’s very natural-looking.
If you and Dr. Campbell decide that veneers are right for you, he carefully removes a portion of your natural tooth tissue to make room for the veneers.
A set of impressions show the precise contouring and alignment of your prepared teeth. The dental lab uses this information to craft your custom dental veneers, which are made of slightly translucent porcelain. A set of temporary veneers protects your teeth until your next visit.
Once your veneers arrive from the lab, you’ll return to have Dr. Campbell check your new veneers for fit and appearance before securing them in place with special dental cement.
Today’s dental veneers are highly durable, and with proper care, you can get nearly 20 years of wear from this cosmetic treatment. Here are some steps you can take to make your veneers last as long as possible.
Begin with taking a close look at your dental hygiene routine to see if improvements can be made. Brushing and flossing daily will remove plaque and keep your natural tooth tissue and gums as healthy as possible.
Never bite down on hard, nonfood items. Don’t chew ice, as this can place undue pressure on your teeth and veneers. If you notice any issues, schedule a visit at Sunrise Smile Design right away. Otherwise, Dr. Campbell checks your veneers during your routine dental exams and will let you know if there are any areas of concern.
