A recent Kelton Research study showed that people with bright, beautiful smiles are considered more attractive and successful. A pristine smile makes you feel confident. But over time, our teeth can gather embarrassing stains or become damaged from chips or cracks. In addition, some people have misaligned teeth or unsightly gaps in their smile. What if one procedure could address all of these issues? In today’s blog, your Houston dentist, Dr. Deborah Gennero, explains how porcelain veneers can restore and repair your smile.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are composed of thin shells of special dental porcelain. Placed on the front of a patient’s tooth, veneers enable Dr. Gennero to improve a patient’s smile with long lasting and natural looking restorations.
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
In addition to being stain resistant and providing decades of smile repair, porcelain veneers offer a host of additional benefits, including:
- Erasing permanent stains
- Mask misaligned teeth
- Closing gaps between teeth
- Repairing cracked or chipped teeth
- Lengthening the appearance of teeth
- Reshaping malformed teeth
Placing Your Veneers
The first step to receiving porcelain veneers involves a consultation with Dr. Gennero. After performing a thorough oral examination and discussing your smile goals, Dr. Gennero will decide if veneers are the best choice for restoring your smile. If so, Dr. Gennero will prepare the surface of your teeth and take an impression. The impression will be sent to an expert ceramist, who will custom-make your veneers based on Dr. Gennero’s exact specifications. Once completed, Dr. Gennero will check the fit and then place your veneers using a powerful bonding agent. The veneers will be shaded to blend seamlessly with your smile, appearing as your natural teeth. When you leave our practice, you will have a beautiful new smile.
