Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry service that can improve the appearance of your smile. Teeth with certain types of imperfections can be completely transformed simply by bonding a porcelain veneer to the front surface of each problem tooth. At Renewal Family Dental in Dearborn, MI, we offer cosmetic dentistry, veneers, and more. Dr. Sabah Gagnon-Saleeby and Dr. Edward Sarkisian can help you achieve the flawless smile you’ve always wanted.
How Veneers Can Transform Your Smile
Veneers are thin porcelain covers for teeth with cosmetic imperfections. Each veneer is custom-made to fit in place perfectly. A special dental resin is used to bond a veneer to the front surface of its corresponding tooth. Once bonding is complete, the veneer looks like part of the natural tooth. Since they are permanently bonded to the teeth, veneers will not shift out of place.
You can transform your smile with veneers by correcting a diverse range of cosmetic issues, including:
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Unevenly sized teeth
- A cracked or chipped tooth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are misshaped
Getting Veneers
The process of getting custom porcelain veneers only involves a few simple steps, starting with a consultation. The consultation is helpful in determining if veneers are the right service for making over your smile. The highly skilled dentists at our practice in Dearborn, MI, can determine if veneers are the right cosmetic dentistry option for helping you achieve the smile you desire.
Once it has been decided that porcelain veneers are the way to go, the second step in the process of getting veneers is to prepare the teeth. If veneers are placed directly on teeth without prepping first, the veneers would protrude out past the surrounding natural teeth. To prepare, an extremely small amount of enamel is removed from each tooth that will be receiving a veneer. This ensures there is room for each veneer to fit properly on its corresponding tooth.
After prepping the teeth, an impression or a mold of the teeth is made. The impression will be used by dental lab professionals to fabricate custom veneers that are the right size and shape for your teeth. Once the custom veneers are complete, they will be sent back to the dentist’s office so they can be affixed to the teeth. The veneers will be permanently bonded to the teeth using a special dental resin. Afterward, you’ll be immediately able to enjoy your brand new and improved smile.
