Veneers

Veneers

A dazzling smile can light up a room and leave a lasting impression. However, for many individuals, achieving that perfect smile may seem elusive. For them, veneers may be an excellent solution.  

Veneers are thin shells, typically made from porcelain or composite resin, custom designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are bonded to natural teeth as a solution for cosmetic dental issues such as discoloration, chips, cracks, or uneven spacing.  

Veneers are meticulously crafted to match the surrounding teeth's color, shape, and size, providing a natural-looking result. Their benefits include durability, stain resistance, and preservation of more natural tooth structure than crowns. Veneers can effectively transform smiles, enhancing confidence and self-esteem, making them a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry.  

The Veneer Procedure 

During the initial consultation, the dentist at Smile Solutions will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if veneers are the right option. If veneers are needed, a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the front surface of the teeth to prepare them for the veneers. This ensures a proper fit for the veneers and allows room for them to be bonded seamlessly to the teeth.  

Impressions or digital scans of your teeth are then taken to create custom veneers that match your natural teeth in color, size, and shape. If you're getting porcelain veneers, the impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians craft your custom veneers. This process typically takes a few weeks. For composite veneers, resin material is applied directly to the teeth and shaped by the dentist.  

Once the veneers are ready, they are placed on the teeth temporarily to ensure a proper fit and appearance. Any necessary adjustments are made before the final bonding process. The veneers are then permanently bonded to the teeth using a special dental adhesive and cured with a light. After bonding, the dentist in Pittsburg, KS, may make final adjustments to the veneers for comfort and aesthetics, ensuring your smile looks natural and beautiful. Contact us today!  

The Benefits of Veneers 

A Flawless, Natural Appearance 

One of the most remarkable benefits of veneers is their ability to deliver a flawless, natural-looking smile. Crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain or composite resin, veneers are custom made to match your natural teeth's shape, size, and color. Whether aiming for a radiant Hollywood smile or subtle enhancements, veneers blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, creating a harmonious and attractive appearance.  

Versatile Cosmetic Solution 

Veneers in Pittsburg, KS, are a versatile cosmetic dentistry solution and can address various cosmetic dental concerns. Whether your teeth are stained, chipped, worn down, misaligned, or have gaps, veneers offer a comprehensive solution. By concealing imperfections and reshaping teeth, veneers can transform your smile, giving you the confidence to smile freely and unabashedly. 

Stain Resistance for Long-Lasting Whiteness 

Porcelain veneers, in particular, are highly resistant to stains, making them an excellent choice for achieving a bright, white smile that lasts. Unlike natural teeth that can become discolored over time due to factors like coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco use, porcelain veneers maintain their pristine appearance properly. This means you can enjoy a dazzling smile without worrying about stains detracting from its beauty.  

Minimal Tooth Alteration 

Unlike some dental procedures that require significant alterations to the structure of the teeth, veneers involve minimal tooth preparation. In most cases, only a small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to accommodate the veneers. This conservative approach preserves the integrity of your natural teeth while still achieving remarkable cosmetic improvements. 

Enhanced Self-Confidence and Quality of Life

The most significant benefit of veneers is their boost to self-confidence and overall quality of life. A beautiful smile can positively impact your personal and professional life, from social interactions and relationships to career opportunities and self-esteem. With veneers, you can smile confidently, knowing that your teeth look their best. 

Maintenance Tips for Veneers

  • Brush your teeth at least twice daily with soft-bristled and nonabrasive toothpaste.
  • Floss daily to remove plaque and debris from between your teeth and around the veneers.
  • Use a nonabrasive fluoride toothpaste to protect the veneers and maintain their shine.
  • Avoid using a hard-bristled toothbrush or abrasive toothpaste, as they can scratch the surface of the veneers.
  • Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings to ensure the health and longevity of your veneers.
  • Avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails, as this can damage the veneers.
  • Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night to protect the veneers from excessive wear.
  • Limit stain-causing foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to prevent discoloration.
  • If you notice any chips, cracks, or damage to your veneers, contact your dentist immediately for evaluation and repair.
  • Follow any additional care instructions provided by your dentist to maintain the appearance and function of your veneers.
