Are you one of the many Americans who are a bit self-conscious about your smile? Are you embarrassed by the shade of your teeth? There are many conditions that could make us all a bit self-conscious about our smiles. You could have teeth that are discolored, chipped, or misshapen. Whatever the reason may be, if you are not completely happy with your smile, you should see a dentist you can trust. A well-respected dentist in Walnut Creek, CA, Dr. Troy A. Schmedding, DDS at the team at Family Dentistry of Walnut Creek, welcome you and would love to discuss the possibility of porcelain veneers correcting your smile.
Porcelain veneers are a solution to a wide range of dental issues. If your smile needs some help, you should consider veneers. Let us discuss some reasons why dental veneers are such a popular option with patients.
Natural Appearance
When somebody gets dental work done, it can be quite jarring. Teeth that look unnaturally white after a whitening session, for instance. Porcelain veneers are crafted to match your natural teeth’ size, shape, and color so that you retain a natural appearance. Because of the work put into crafting a veneer, you will most likely need to make multiple dentist trips to complete the process. Impressions of your teeth will need to be taken and sent to a lab where the veneers are crafted. You’ll then return and have the veneers placed on your teeth.
Minimally Invasive
Veneers can be used for both cosmetic and restorative purposes. When talking about using veneers to restore teeth, it is minimally invasive when comparing it to other restorative dental work. About a half millimeter of your tooth’s surface enamel will need to be gently removed. Once this enamel has been shaved off, the veneer is placed using dental cement. Further adjustments will be made to ensure a natural appearance, and then you are done. No sedation necessary, and you will be able to walk out on your own two feet and continue your day as usual.
