Dental Veneers Most celebrities and leading models achieve bright and beautiful smiles with veneers. These restorations are stunning, ultra-thin, and custom-made to fit your teeth. They are permanently cemented onto the teeth to cover chipped, discolored, gapped, crooked, or broken teeth. Just like the celebrities, you too, can benefit from veneers by consulting with our team at Jerome Riddle DDS. We construct veneers that fit perfectly to your teeth and ensure comfort. It is difficult for other people to notice that you have veneers because of their ultra-thin design. They are also strong and durable. What Are Dental Veneers?A dental veneer is a restoration that features an ultra-thin design and is customized to cover the face of your teeth. Each veneer is cemented onto the tooth to bring an aesthetically pleasing smile. These restorations can help resolve various teeth problems, including masking stains, covering unattractive gaps, and concealing misshapen and crooked teeth. They deliver a dramatic and nearly instantaneous transformation to your smile. Veneers Installation ProcedureDuring your first appointment, our dentist takes digital 3D images of your teeth, which they use to plan the restoration. The pictures also allow our dentist to determine the color of the restoration that matches your teeth perfectly. Using the impression of the teeth, we custom-make the veneers for your teeth. We fit the restoration after the fabrication is done. Benefits of VeneersWhen you use veneers to enhance your smile, you enjoy many benefits. First, it just requires you two appointments to get them fitted. They come in a biocompatible material, so they are gentle on your teeth and gums. During the placement of veneers, our dentist will conserve most of the real tooth, unlike other restorations, which require considerable shaving down of tooth enamel to create room for installation. Additionally, veneers for your teeth bring a significantly natural look. Often, there is little or no tooth preparation or reduction needed to get perfect results. Maintaining the structure of the real tooth is pretty important. How Long Do Veneers Last?Normally, veneers can remain in good form for about seven to 15 years, or even longer. What you are required to do is to take good care of them. Avoid grinding or clenching your teeth because it tends to stress veneers. It is also bad for the jaw joints and teeth. You may need to use nightguards if you grind or clench to protect the restoration while asleep. Although durable, veneers can chip and break, so chew wisely. Avoid excessively hard foods or objects like bones, ice, or fingernails. Veneers can stain from things that cause stains on your teeth. So it is a smart idea to restrict foods that cause discoloration; for instance, red wine, coffee, soy sauce, tea, dark sodas, and berries. Avoid smoking because it also stains veneers and improves your overall health when you quit. Seeing the dentist frequently allows us to check the veneers, and your teeth and gums. We are able to spot any potential problems and address them before they become major issues. Our dentist also polishes the veneers and preserves their pearly-white look. We custom-fabricate veneers to fit your specific teeth. To find out about our veneers preparation and installation process, visit us at Jerome Riddle DDS.
