You can use dental veneers to improve your smile before the holidays. If you have been dreaming of having a beautiful smile and were considering a cosmetic dentistry procedure, schedule an appointment with our dental office. We can examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and provide you with solutions for transforming your smile before the holiday pictures are taken.
The first thing that we will do is clean your teeth. When teeth are clean and healthy, they look better in general. This will also allow us to determine if you have any oral health issues that need to be dealt with prior to performing a cosmetic dentistry procedure. If you do, we can provide treatment right away so that you can move on to transforming your smile.
Dental veneers are an excellent way to do so because of how versatile they are. Veneers can be used to close gaps in your teeth, cover dark stains, restore teeth that have been chipped or damaged, and even straighten a tooth that is mildly crooked. The options are so vast that even Hollywood stars use them to improve their smiles. During your consultation, let us know what you don’t like about your teeth so that we can determine what the best course of treatment is.
When you schedule an appointment to get veneers, it will take a couple of weeks to complete the process, so it is important to get started quickly. On your first appointment, we will take an impression of your teeth that can be sent to a dental lab. The lab technicians will use the impression to create dental veneers that are the perfect size and shape for your existing teeth.
Simultaneously, we will prepare your teeth by removing a small portion of the enamel that is on the surface. This way the veneers will lay flat onto the surface of your teeth without making them look large or out of place. In order to protect the prepared teeth, you will need to wear temporary veneers that are attached using removable water-based glue. Since they are designed to come off, you need to be careful not to eat any foods that could pop them off or brush too aggressively.
When the dental lab has finished, you will come back for a follow-up appointment so that we can bond the permanent veneers to your teeth. This can be done in a couple of hours and afterwards your teeth will look amazing. Keep in mind that your teeth may be sensitive for a couple of days after the procedure so it is important to time everything correctly. After a few days, you will feel as good as new, and your smile will look amazing. You can eat all of your favorite foods while wearing veneers so enjoying a holiday treat won’t be a problem. As an added benefit, they don’t stain like normal teeth do so enjoying an occasional glass of wine won’t impact the color of your new and beautiful smile. To get started, call and schedule an appointment today.
