Are you obsessed with your favorite celebrity’s perfect teeth? Does the idea of a picture-perfect smile intrigue you? Dental Veneers can give the Hollywood smile you’ve always wanted and keep your smile looking amazing for decades.
A veneer is a custom-made ceramic or porcelain shell that adheres to the front surface of your tooth. Each veneer is created in a natural-looking shade that you and your dentist will decide on in advance. When placed on the front-facing teeth, dental veneers dramatically change the way your teeth look.
For proper adherence, your teeth will need to be prepared before your dentist can place the veneers. While the preparation process is a bit more intensive than with bonding, the end result will last much longer.
You will need more than one appointment to complete treatment with dental veneers. The first appointment is to choose the shade you want and take impressions and digital images of your teeth, which will be used as the basis to fabricate your veneers to the exact specifications of your teeth. Once your veneers have been custom made for your teeth, you will come back to our office to have them bonded in place. Your dentist will make sure you are completely satisfied with the result before you leave.
While dental veneers are stain resistant, they are made of material that will scratch if treated too harshly. We highly recommend gentle brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush once your veneers are in place. Of course, good oral hygiene, including regular exams and cleanings, is essential to keep your veneers looking pristine.
Do you have a tooth that stands out in your smile and not in a good way? Is it off-color, the wrong shape or even the wrong size? Do you long to have a picture-perfect smile? Our dentists, Dr. Joe Chichetti or Dr. Reena Patel, will be happy to see you for an appointment for dental veneers in Charlotte, North Carolina.
