The Beauty of Veneers
Beautiful smiles give people confidence. Veneers offer a comprehensive way to refashion teeth and completely change a smile to fit the patient perfectly. They change the size, shape, and color of teeth to improve a person’s overall appearance.
Call our dental practice in Scottsdale to schedule a consultation with our team to find out if veneers are a good option for you.
What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain shaped and polished to resemble natural teeth. These enhancements cover imperfections in smiles and bring them uniformity, helping individuals reach their aesthetic goals.
This treatment generally alters teeth most visible in smiles, which are referred to as the social six. This area comprises the front two teeth, the incisors next to them, and the first canines.
- Veneers can improve teeth that are:
- Yellowing or Discolored
- Uneven
- Slightly Misaligned or Gapped
- Damaged by Small Cracks or Chips
What to Expect During Placement?
While veneers are minimally invasive, some preparation is necessary to secure veneers in place and maintain natural strength.
Veneers are generally a two-appointment process. On a patient’s first appointment, our dentists take impressions and discuss the outcome. We address any details regarding their procedure, such as eligibility and expectations.
During the placement procedure, our doctors alter teeth, creating a small dip in the enamel to allow a place for the veneers to set. Once in place, veneers are cemented onto teeth and adjusted for uniformity.
Are You Eligible for Veneers?
We first ensure patients have oral health in good standing before recommending veneers. Patients that show signs of complications or other issues may not be eligible.
Veneers can last up to 10 years with proper care. We encourage patients to visit the dentist regularly and practice regular oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing.
Teeth Whitening and Veneers
Patients planning for veneers should consider teeth whitening treatment before their procedure. Since porcelain is resistant to change, best results come from first bleaching away stains and then color matching veneers to neighboring teeth. This comprehensive cosmetic treatment gives patients the radiant smile they are seeking.
