A Veneers Dentist Can Ensure That Your New Teeth Look Natural

Our veneers dentist can help you to select which procedure is going to be the most effective to solve your dental challenges. Virtually every patient who steps through our doors does so because they are not happy with some aspect of their teeth. Having decided that they no longer want to live with the malady of bad teeth, seeking out a veneers dentist is the logical next step. In today’s world, there is almost nothing we cannot fix esthetically with veneers. We can correct everything from teeth that have dark stains to damaged and even crooked teeth. In any of these situations, we can work with you to provide a solution that will give you back the brilliant white smile you were looking for. Every step of the way will be decided by you and at the pace you want to proceed. Naturally, once you decide to work with us in restoring your smile, you will need to make the critical next decision.

Working together, we have an important choice to make once you have decided to proceed with getting dental veneers. This choice is one that will impact your smile for decades to come. The first thing you will be choosing is the color and shade of your veneers. This decision is very important, and hence made early in the process, because of the permanent nature of veneers. Once installed, they take the place of your enamel and are designed to stay in place for a very long time. In years past this was a less satisfying process because veneers were picked off a shade card that consisted of 16 shades. You got to pick the shade that was a closest match to your unaffected teeth. This was not an exciting prospect because we all want to improve the color of our teeth with veneers not just match the old shade. Today there are many more alternatives, including bleaching your teeth before selecting your veneers color. As a veneers dentist, we will explain all of your options during the initial consultation.

Besides color, there is another important element that we will incorporate. Most people do not realize that your teeth are far from one solid block of white. The enamel is designed to allow a small amount of light to filter through the teeth themselves, giving you the effect of a radiant smile. The light coming through the teeth actually illuminates and highlights the whiteness of them. Once we have chosen the color for your dental veneers, we will need to make sure that your veneer is thin enough to match the translucency of your naturally occurring teeth. Failure to match the teeth or leaving the veneer without sufficient opacity will make the tooth look out of place and fake. Given that these dental veneers are a very permanent solution (they are bonded to your teeth with dental cement and are not designed to come off) you will want the best color and the highest amount of opacity possible for a brilliant smile. As a veneers dentist, we are experts in creating these subtle changes to make veneers and your smile look entirely natural.
