New Smiles with Porcelain Veneers

Smile enhancement is possible with solutions such as porcelain veneers from a Brentwood dentist.

Today, people are increasingly self-conscious about the appearance of their smiles. This is because appearance plays an important role in how people perceive us as individuals. After all, a smile is our most attractive facial feature! This is why many patients are now turning to an experienced and professional dentist in Brentwood for smile enhancement treatments.

The most prominent facial features are both the mouth and the eyes. Although people do not intend to be judgmental, we make subconscious and almost instant judgments about people – these are our first-impressions. The attractiveness of the smile has an almost immediate impact on how we feel about ourselves and how we carry ourselves. With a lovely smile, it will not only boost your self-confidence but will also make you attractive to others. One such smile enhancing treatment is porcelain veneers.

Veneers are natural looking durable dental prosthetics that are shaped look like a tooth. These are bonded to the front surface of a tooth or teeth to cover any imperfections. They can be used for a range of cosmetic issues such as discoloration, misalignment, chipped teeth, or short teeth.

Once the Brentwood dentist has decided that veneers are the right option, about 0.5mm of the outer layer of the enamel has to be shaved down to accommodate the veneers. Physical or digital impressions have to be taken of the teeth, because veneers have to be fabricated and designed so that they fully match the smile. These are usually made in a dental laboratory or using a milling machine. While the final veneers are prepared, temporary veneers are placed to protect the teeth. Once the veneers are completed, the patient will return to the dentist’s office to get the temporary dental caps removed and to have the permanent set placed. The color and shape of the veneer will then be checked against the teeth to ensure it is a suitable match. Once it is placed, dental cement is used to bond the veneers to the teeth permanently.

The risks that are commonly associated with veneers are minimal. Despite this, it is important for patients consider a few things before opting for this treatment. The removal of the enamel is permanent and so it is always advisable for patients to discuss whether there are other non-invasive alternatives before they decide on veneers.

Veneers can dramatically improve your smile and the quality of your life with a newfound sense of confidence and, of course, a remarkable and memorable smile!
