Porcelain Veneers – Greybull, WY
A Smile That Dazzles with Porcelain Veneers
When you first meet a person, it’s inevitable that the condition of your teeth will be noticed. Therefore, if you have imperfections, it could lead to a poor first impression. As the scope of cosmetic dental care has continued to evolve, the available treatment methods have expanded. An example of this is the development of the porcelain veneers procedure. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Anderson today to find out how porcelain veneers in Greybull, WY can revamp your image!
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Ironically, when the porcelain veneers process first emerged in the 1920’s, it was mainly available to Hollywood movie stars. Nearly 100 years later, the technology and techniques associated with crafting veneers has expanded at warp speed. Furthermore, the procedure is now available to the general public, which means everyone now has access to a smile that’s fit for a red carpet.
Small fixtures that make a huge difference in the appearance of your front-facing teeth, porcelain veneers are thin slithers of high-quality ceramic material that are custom-crafted to perfectly meet your smile needs. They are best-suited for people who have minor flaws like gaps, misalignment, crowding or stains, the end result being a smile that dazzles.
How Porcelain Veneers are Placed
The placement of your new veneers is a fairly simple and straightforward process. Here are the steps Dr. Anderson will take:
- If you’re more prone to experiencing tooth sensitivity, a numbing medication will be applied to ensure you have a comfortable experience.
- A thin layer of enamel is then removed to make room for your new veneers to fit perfectly.
- Bite impressions are taken and used to create a custom plan that is sent to a lab that will craft the veneers.
- To prevent any damage to your teeth, a set of temporary veneers is placed.
- When they arrive from the lab, you’ll head back to our Greybull office to have your permanent veneers shaped and shaded (if needed), and then they’ll be placed using dental cement.
With your new set of porcelain veneers in place, you’ll look like a brand-new person!
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
One of the most attractive features of the porcelain veneers method is that it provides a way to have your smile revamped in a matter of weeks, whereas with more conventional forms of treatment, it could take months or years to see the results you want.
Having a custom set of veneers placed also offers functional benefits. By creating an even smile line, it helps prevent uneven tooth wear. It also allows for better chewing when you eat food, which translates into improved digestion.
A final perk of receiving a smile upgrade with porcelain veneers is that you’ll no longer feel the need to shy away from cameras. You’ll also find yourself smiling more, unconsciously.
