Dental & Porcelain Veneers in Mill Creek WA
White, straight, even teeth are one of the first things many people notice about people in film, on television, and in magazines. But does this mean that all those people who appear in front of cameras just had the good fortune to be born with a white, straight set of teeth?
Most of the time, the answer to this question is “No.” And that means that these people have gone to a professional to have various dental techniques applied to get those brilliant, perfect smiles. One of those techniques is known as a dental veneer.
A Mill Creek WA dental veneer, as the name implies, is a thin “shell” that is designed to cover your teeth. They provide a brighter, cleaner, more uniform shape, color, and overall appearance. Veneers are affixed to your teeth to provide consistent color, hide cracks or chips, and provide even, symmetrical lines to eliminate jagged smiles.
A veneer is a customized procedure based on an examination of measurement of your mouth and teeth to ensure a comfortable, natural fit. Veneers are usually made of one of two materials.
Porcelain Dental Veneers in Mill Creek WA
Those beautiful smiles you see on Hollywood stars are seldom the smiles they were born with. Veneers are seeing a great comeback as more people like you see the value in using them to enhance their appearance.
Porcelain veneers are the choice of many people who desire to improve their smile in a simple cosmetic procedure. Veneers can mask many minor dental flaws. Some people use veneers to correct small gaps between teeth. If you have teeth that are a little out of alignment, veneers can make them seem straight. Chipped teeth can look like new again. When whitening does not work to brighten your teeth, veneers can do the job.
Enhancing the appearance of your smile with porcelain veneers can restore your self-confidence. The flaws in your teeth can affect your self-esteem causing you to feel less confident in social situations. A set of porcelain veneers gives you a beautiful, bright, straight smile boosting your self-assurance.
Not everyone is a good candidate for dental veneers. A comprehensive dental exam will help in determining if your teeth are right for veneers. Doctor will explain to you the possibilities and the commitment you are making when you choose veneers. Excellent oral hygiene is required before and after application of the veneers to ensure their success. Schedule a time for a consultation to find out if you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers.
Resin
With this option, the resin is applied directly to the teeth. Because this is a simpler, easier, more pliable material, resin veneers can typically be applied to teeth in a single visit. However, this convenience in time makes resin a more delicate material, more prone to wear and tear.
This means that, in time, resin veneers may require touch-ups from your cosmetic dentist to maintain their appearance. For people that may only be looking for a temporary veneer treatment, this may be one option for the more expensive and permanent porcelain procedure.
Regardless of which veneer option you choose, a veneer is an optional cosmetic procedure. It is unlikely to be covered by typical dental plans that focus on health and maintenance.
