Are you admiring the perfect smiles around you instead of enjoying your own? It’s time for a smile makeover with veneers! Natural-looking veneers can transform your defective grin into a beautiful smile you’ll love. You can begin your journey to a smile transformation with veneers by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Nathan Simarro and the team at Simarro Brothers Dental Care in Antioch, California. Here’s what you should know about porcelain veneers.
Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that can be fitted over the surface of your teeth to make imperfections disappear. They’re custom-made in a lab to match the features of your natural teeth. When bonded over your tooth surface, they conceal tooth flaws to give your smile a smooth, unblemished appearance.
One of the benefits of veneers is their simplicity. No major alterations have to be made to your teeth to place veneers. Dr. Simarro and the team will simply remove a thin layer of enamel so the veneers can lie flat for a natural appearance. Next, we’ll take impressions of your teeth and forward them to a lab for veneer fabrication. In the meantime, you can wear temporary veneers over your teeth. When your porcelain veneers are ready, we’ll replace the temporary veneers with your new veneers and bond them in place permanently. That’s all it takes to give your smile a flawless appearance!
Veneers are placed over existing teeth with only minor modifications to your tooth structure. The process is quick, easy, and painless, and the beautiful results are enduring! Veneers can correct problems with chipped, discolored, gapped, misshapen, irregularly sized, or slightly crooked teeth to give your grin an unblemished appearance. With veneers, you can have the winsome smile you’ve always wanted in a matter of weeks.
Longevity is another plus for veneer treatment. With proper maintenance and care, your veneers can last over ten years. Veneers are fairly easy to care for as they only require daily brushing and flossing and routine cleaning from your dentist to maintain their beautiful appearance.
Porcelain veneers are quite durable and capable of withstanding biting and chewing forces for years. However, they’re not indestructible. They can chip, crack, or wear down prematurely if you consistently chew on ice or eat hard foods. Although porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, your non-veneered teeth aren’t. To avoid the risk of discoloring these teeth and ruining your smile, you may want to limit your intake of stain-causing foods and drinks.
No! Once enamel is removed from your teeth for veneers, the treatment becomes permanent. You’ll need to continue the process in the future to maintain your smile’s aesthetics.
