Are you unhappy with your smile? Do you have more than one issue that bothers you every time you look in the mirror? Do you wonder how you can have those issues fixed without spending an excessive amount of money and time at the dentist? If you answered yes to any or all of the above questions, you may be a candidate for veneers. Dental veneers can fix several issues with only one treatment. That’s a great reason to choose veneers!
What Are Dental Veneers?
A dental veneer is an ultra-thin porcelain shell that is bonded to the front of your tooth to improve the esthetics of your smile. Veneers have many benefits, but one of the greatest is that they can improve a set of diverse imperfections with a single treatment. Veneers can be used to:
- Brighten your teeth
- Improve the size, shape, or length of your teeth
- Cover cracks, chips, fractures, pits, craze lines, and other minor imperfections
- Close gaps or spaces between your teeth
- Correct mild misalignments
The Veneer Procedure
First, Dr. Pizzi or Dr. Mehdi will remove the slightest amount of tooth structure to accommodate the thickness of the dental veneer. Next, they will take impressions of your teeth and send them to a highly valued, and trusted lab where a master ceramicist will fabricate your dental veneers so they blend seamlessly with your smile. This may take up to two weeks. Once the veneers are completed, they will be checked for color, size, and fit, and if no adjustments are necessary, they will be permanently bonded to the front of your teeth for a brand-new smile!
