Normal wear and tear is a phrase used to describe the affect years of use has on cars, computers, and other items, but have you ever considered what normal wear and tear means for your smile? A single small chip may not seem important, but what about five or ten? What about a dozen small chips and some deep-set coffee stains? The foods and drinks we consume daily, medicines we take, and other genetic and environmental factors damage teeth no matter how well we care for them. If your smile is starting to show signs of normal wear and tear, maybe it’s time to hit the reset button. Porcelain veneers from Point Place Dental may be just that. The thin sheaths of dental grade porcelain lay over the front of teeth concealing and correcting years of decay and damage instantly.
The Porcelain Veneer Process
At Point Place Dental, we encourage patients to choose treatment options that preserve the maximum amount of natural dental structure. For that reason, porcelain veneers are an ideal choice for concealing and correcting a host of smile irregularities. Once patients determine that veneers are the best option for their teeth, the process is simple. During an initial appointment, our team prepares teeth by removing a minimal amount of surface enamel so the porcelain veneer fits seamlessly into the original smile line. Once the tooth is prepared, we take digital x-rays, images, and impressions of the tooth or teeth to receive the veneer as well as the entire bite. These items are sent to our trusted dental lab to create a custom veneer. Until the veneer is completed, patients wear a temporary veneer to get used to the look and feel and protect their teeth. When the final product arrives at our practice, patients return to have the temporary removed, and the permanent veneer attached. The entire procedure is painless, quick, and effective.
When to Consider Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for patients who have healthy teeth, but aren’t happy with the appearance of their smile. When these patients wish to avoid complex restorative or orthodontic treatments, porcelain veneers may be an excellent, conservative option. Some of the many cosmetic smile flaws that can be corrected with porcelain veneers include:
- Chips and cracks in teeth
- Deep-set stains not affected by whitening
- Gaps between teeth or mildly crooked or misaligned teeth
