If you’re unhappy with the way your teeth look, you probably feel reluctant to smile and that can also affect your confidence. Even small chips or discoloration can totally affect the appearance of your teeth. But porcelain veneers can change all that with one simple and effective treatment. If you want to find out more about veneers, Dr. Michael Vanover in Orange Park can tell you everything you need to know.
What Are Dental Veneers?
A dental veneer is a fine porcelain sheath that is designed to fit over the front of an existing tooth to eliminate flaws or discoloration. The veneer can be colored and shaped to match your existing teeth perfectly. Not only do veneers enhance the appearance of your teeth, but they also strengthen your teeth. They can be used to fix the following dental issues:
- Misshapen teeth
- Discolorations
- Gaps between teeth
- Size discrepancies
- Chips and cracks
- Excessive wear
How Do I Get Veneers?
Typically, Orange Park dental patients can have their veneers fitted within just a few appointments. During your initial consultation with Dr. Vanover, you will discuss your needs and create a model or roadmap of what the final veneers' appearance will look like. After you approve the new look of your smile, an appointment will be scheduled to prepare your teeth for the permanent veneers. You will leave Dr. Vanover’s office with temporary veneers in place (made from the model veneers you previously approved) while you wait for the creation of your final porcelain veneers. This will give you plenty of time to get used to the feel and look of your new smile. You will return to Dr. Vanover a couple of weeks later to have your final restorations put in place. Dr. Vanover will make any necessary adjustments so that you have a perfect smile that will last.
