If you are interested in improving the appearance, you may be interested in pursuing dental veneers. In truth, dental veneers can help patients achieve almost any aesthetic results. With veneers, you can lighten the appearance of your smile (or single teeth), correct dental damage, close gaps in your smile, and make crooked teeth appear straighter and more seamless.
Our Saint Louis cosmetic dentists are here to answer all of your questions, and give you the information that you need to pick the perfect cosmetic treatments for you, as an individual. Keep reading to learn more about veneers, specifically.
Q: What is it like to undergo dental veneers treatment?
A: In general, the veneer placement process is quick, stress-free, and comfortable. During treatment, our team will shape your natural tooth if necessary, and then bond your aesthetic restorations to your natural teeth. It usually takes just two to three appointments to craft and place veneers, so you really can achieve dramatic results in a short period of time.
Our team does offer sedation treatments for patients who suffer from dental anxiety. So, if the thought of dentistry freaks you out, sedation may be able to help you overcome this obstacle.
Q: What do dental veneers look like, in the end?
A: One of the great things about porcelain as a restorative material is that it mimics the appearance of natural enamel. Not only does porcelain reflect light like real enamel, but it can also be custom shaped, sized, and shaded to look perfect for the patient’s smile as a whole.
Once your dental veneers are in place, they will look just like your natural teeth. Because veneers are so thin, they do not look bulky or fake. You’ll be able to smile with confidence thanks to customized veneers.
If you aren’t sure whether veneers are right for you, our Saint Louis cosmetic dentists are here to help you weigh your treatment options. We know that, with so many aesthetic treatment options, it can be hard to figure out how to proceed. So, feel free to contact our team to schedule a personal consultation!
