If you wish to improve the appearance of your smile, veneers could be right for you. Veneers are thin covers bonded to the front surface of teeth with cosmetic issues to give them a flawless appearance. In Harrisburg, PA, veneers are available at the dental office of Dr. Aziz Majid, who can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
How Veneers Can Help Your Smile
Veneers are thin tooth-like shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth with cosmetic flaws. Once they are in place on the teeth, veneers look like a natural part of your smile. One of the reasons veneers look so natural is that they are custom-made to fit perfectly in place. Additionally, veneers are commonly made from porcelain, which looks just like natural tooth enamel.
Veneers can help your smile by correcting and concealing many types of cosmetic issues, such as:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Teeth that are oddly shaped
- Teeth that are unevenly sized
- Excess spacing between teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Crooked teeth
Getting Veneers
The process of getting custom veneers at our Harrisburg, PA, dental practice involves just a few simple steps. The first step in the process is to determine if you are a candidate for veneers. This is based on your medical history, as well as the cosmetic issues you wish to address. In some cases, another dental procedure might be a better option for correcting a particular problem.
Once it is confirmed that veneers are the right option for you, the second step in the process is preparing the teeth. A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the teeth getting veneers. Removing some enamel makes room for the veneers to sit flush with the rest of your smile so they don’t protrude at all.
Next, an impression is made of your teeth that will be used by a dental lab to create custom veneers just for you. The impression of your teeth helps ensure the veneers are the right size and shape to fit in place over their corresponding teeth.
Finally, once the custom veneers are sent back to the dental office, they can be permanently bonded to your teeth. Bonding ensures the veneers remain securely in place, even while eating. You can care for your veneers in the same way you care for your natural teeth by brushing and flossing daily and scheduling regular dental checkups. With proper care, your new veneers and smile will last for years.
