If you have more than just stained teeth, but also concerns with the shape of the teeth or with gaps between them, then we can help. With porcelain veneers, we have a way to transform the overall appearance of the smile in just two sittings. In today’s blog, your team at Balboa Dental Surgery talks about helping smiles with veneers in Newport Beach, CA.
The Smile Makeover Potential
How do veneers make over your smile? Well, each one is a very thin shell of porcelain, and is custom-made to fit over the front of a tooth. Once in place, this instantly changes the shape and color of the teeth, correcting multiple smile imperfections at once. For example, we can mask teeth stains too severe to be addressed with traditional teeth whitening. Our team can repair minor chips and even add length to worn down teeth. Placement can correct misshapen teeth and also fill in gaps between the teeth. For some, we could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you obtain a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners!
Creating Porcelain Veneers
How do we create porcelain veneers? To begin, we will gently numb the teeth being treated so that we can comfortably remove a thin layer of outer enamel from them. This ensures enough room to properly accommodate the final restoration. Our team then takes detailed digital images of the tooth from multiple angles with intraoral cameras. In a lab setting, we use the images and measurements we take with digital technology to design and craft your new restorations. We shade these to blend with your smile, and when you return, we can place them!
Attaching Your Restoration
When you return for your follow-up visit, we will check the fit of your custom restorations and if necessary, we will make final adjustments before we attach them with a powerful bonding agent. Once we complete this step, we will attach them with a powerful bonding agent, which can secure them for years to come. This is the same way we attach crowns and even replacement options like dental bridges. Once in place, you can brush and floss daily, enjoy a healthier diet, and see your general dentist for routine checkups and cleanings to keep your restorations bright and in place for years to come.
