Let Veneers Create Your New Smile for the New Year

As the new year begins, you may feel like it’s time for a change. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, you may be considering cosmetic treatments that can improve your smile’s appearance. One option is to consider porcelain veneers.

A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain or composite material which is bonded to the front of a tooth. It is custom-made to match the rest of your teeth in shape, size, and color. They can be used to change the color, shape, and size of a tooth for aesthetic reasons. They can also close gaps between teeth, cover chips, and cracks, and fill small cavities.

Patients need to be in good oral health before getting veneers. You will need to have a follow-up visit so the dentist can check on the bonding of the veneer to your tooth. If the veneer does come off, do not try to put it back on yourself because it can damage your natural tooth. Make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible to have it replaced.

Placing Veneers Process Explained

Before your treatment, we’ll need to take digital X-rays of your teeth to evaluate your oral health and determine what type of veneers will be best for your smile. Then you’ll come into our office for an initial consultation with our dentist in Chicago, IL, to go over the treatment plan and review your payment options. The next step is to prepare your tooth for the veneer by removing a thin layer of the tooth enamel in order to make room for the veneer. We’ll then take impressions of your teeth so the veneers can be crafted to perfectly fit your mouth. When your restorations are complete, you’ll return to our office to have them bonded in place. You’ll leave with a beautiful, natural-looking smile! Patients love the convenience that porcelain veneers provide and the beautiful results that allow them to transform their smiles with ease. 

If you are unsure that veneers are right for you, you will want to visit your dentist for a consultation appointment. That way, you can discuss your concerns and goals with our dentist in Chicago, IL. They will then be able to evaluate your teeth and help you determine if veneers or another dental treatment will be best for you.
