Cosmetic Dentistry is our Passion at East Peak Dental
style=”text-align: left;”>Your teeth serve crucial functions, including biting, chewing, and speaking, while also contributing to your smile's quality. Even minor flaws in your teeth can diminish your confidence, prompting you to hide your smile. At East Peak Dental Group, we can revitalize your smile with dental porcelain veneers.
What Are Dental Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells custom-made to fit over the front surface of your visible teeth. These restorations are designed to enhance the appearance of teeth with minor imperfections, effectively improving your smile's quality. While veneers can be crafted from composite resin bonding, the results with porcelain material are phenomenal due to its superior strength and natural appearance. In addition, porcelain doesn't stain or discolor like composite bonding on front teeth.
Uses For Porcelain Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers can address various cosmetic concerns, including:
- Minor cracks or chips affecting the outer layer of teeth.
- Subtle alignment issues such as slight overlapping or small gaps.
- Teeth that are smaller or irregularly shaped.
- Discoloration resistant to whitening treatments, depending on the extent of discoloration.
Why Get Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers offer several advantages:
- They conceal minor imperfections, restoring a natural, attractive appearance to your teeth.
- Porcelain is biocompatible and non-irritating to gum tissue.
- The material is highly resistant to staining, often surpassing natural enamel.
- These veneers are durable and can last well over 15 years with proper care and maintenance.
- By enhancing your teeth's appearance, veneers boost your confidence and improve your smile.
Restoring Your Smile
Getting porcelain veneers entails at least two visits. During the initial appointment, we prepare your teeth and take impressions using our intraoral scanner. Tooth preparation, done under local anesthesia, involves removing a small portion of enamel from the teeth to ensure seamless veneer blending to your teeth and smile. After preparing the teeth, we send the impressions to our dental lab, where your custom veneers are created. When ready, we ensure the veneers fit properly and look natural before bonding them to your teeth at the delivery appointment.
Porcelain veneers can correct various minor imperfections, significantly enhancing your smile and confidence. Contact East Peak Dental today at (775) 580-7410 for more information.
