Using a Veneers Dentist To Improve Your Teeth

A veneers dentist should be your first stop as you look for ways to improve your teeth. There is a long-standing myth that the only thing dental veneers are good for is a Hollywood white smile. Hence, they should not be considered for more serious corrections. This is far from the truth. A veneers dentist can use dental veneers to cure any number of challenges you may have in your mouth, including teeth discoloration. The most common use for dental veneers is to fix teeth that have been damaged due to trauma or decay. Often patients who get treated by a veneers dentist have broken, cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth. Veneers, which are super thin pieces of porcelain, are an ideal way to fix these issues. In addition, we use veneers to correct mild malocclusion and bite issues.

Dental veneers, when used by the right veneers dentist, are an extremely versatile tool that can meet all of a patient's needs, particularly in terms of price, since porcelain veneers are among the most affordable of all dental treatments. In addition, people want a treatment that is not going to take months, or possibly years, out of their lives. Veneers can typically be placed by the veneers dentist on the second or third clinic visit, making the treatment duration extremely short. People also want to know that they are getting a stable, long-term solution. No one wants to have their mouth repeatedly fixed. Dental veneers are considered to be a permanent placement. In order to place dental veneers properly, your veneers dentist will need to shave off a small amount of the tooth enamel. The veneers will then be contoured to the teeth and placed in the space created by shaving the enamel. They are then cemented onto the teeth with dental cement.

As a veneers dentist, we tend to use dental veneers that are made of porcelain. Much like dental crowns, the veneers you use are going to be visible from the front of the mouth, having a direct impact on your smile. Porcelain is unique in that it looks and feels exactly like your enamel, so no one will ever be able to tell the difference between the specially colored and shaded veneers placed by your veneers dentist and your natural teeth. The aesthetic qualities of porcelain allow for this. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, porcelain is extremely hard, so it can withstand the rigors of mouth usage. It is also completely insoluble. The mouth is a hostile place for most materials, including natural enamel and replacements like dental veneers. Because of saliva, the mouth is constantly wet, and the device we place cannot be made of any material that may dissolve, which is why porcelain is used. Finally, porcelain is extremely biocompatible, meaning there is little to no chance that your body would reject your new dental veneers.
