If you are looking to correct dental imperfections, porcelain veneers might be the answer. Paramount Dental is pleased to offer porcelain veneers as an option to improve and beautify your smile. Having a dazzling, balanced smile is possible, thanks to porcelain veneers.
A porcelain veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that is bonded to a tooth to improve its colour and shape. It generally covers only the front and top of a tooth but can transform the smile by completely concealing imperfections. Porcelain veneers camouflage numerous cosmetic problems, making them an ideal solution for numerous aesthetic flaws. Veneers can be used to close spaces between teeth, lengthen small or misshapen teeth, correct slightly crooked teeth, or whiten stained or dark teeth. They can also correct teeth that are different lengths. When teeth are chipped, cracked, or beginning to wear, veneers can protect them from damage and restore their original appearance. Porcelain Veneers can also be an alternative to orthodontic treatment. Many people are dissatisfied with their smile’s alignment but avoid seeking treatment because they do not want traditional braces. Porcelain veneers can be specially fitted to reshape crooked teeth that may otherwise require orthodontics. Although porcelain veneers are often all that is needed to correct a smile, they are also compatible with other dental treatments.
It can take two or more appointments to restore teeth with veneers. During the first appointment, we shape and roughen the teeth. We then take impressions of your teeth, which we use to make precise working models of your mouth. Using these models, we artistically craft veneers to fit the prepared teeth. During the second appointment, we clean and polish the prepared teeth. We then use an adhesive to bond the veneers to the teeth. A harmless, high-intensity light hardens the adhesive. Once in place, veneers virtually become part of your teeth! You can use them like you would your own teeth because the bond is extremely strong. The final result is beautiful and natural-looking teeth.
It can take time to get used to the appearance and feel of your new teeth. You will not have to change the way you floss or brush. However, you should not bite your nails or chew on pens, ice or other hard objects, or put extreme pressure on your teeth. Doing any of these things can cause the veneers to come off, break, or chip. Your Paramount Dental Dentist will ask you to come back in a few weeks to check the veneers for any problems.
