Got a mirror handy? Take a good look at your smile. Are there things you’d like to improve? Maybe there are several cosmetic flaws you’d like to “erase.” With porcelain veneers in Pittsburgh, you can magically transform your teeth to give you a smile that you won’t ever want to stop showing off!
Understanding Porcelain Veneers
You may have heard of porcelain veneers before as dental veneers or even instant orthodontics because they are one of the best way to improve a smile. Veneers are microthin layers of dental porcelain or composite resin material—high quality dental resources your dentist crafts into your perfectly shaped and shaded smile. Each veneer is custom crafted to alter the size, shape or color of an individual tooth in your smile. This way, each tooth is accurately enhanced to give you a smile that looks beautiful and natural.
Enhance Your Smile with a Cosmetic Dentist
If you’d like to know whether or not you’re a candidate for porcelain veneers, then your first step is to schedule a cosmetic consultation. Your dentist will check your teeth and gums to assess your overall oral health, also carefully checking the teeth in the front of your smile where porcelain veneers are placed. Most people are qualified candidates for veneers.
Porcelain veneers can be used to correct a wide array of cosmetic imperfections. For example, the reason they’re called instant orthodontics is because they are perfect for covering a crooked or gapped smile. Other flaws that porcelain veneers correct include:
- Chipped teeth
- Teeth that are slightly cracked
- Teeth with stains that cannot be removed with teeth whitening
- A tooth that is smaller than others
- Misshaped teeth
- Unusually worn teeth
- Broken teeth
Your Cosmetic Dentist in Pittsburgh Works Quickly and Effectively
Typically, receiving your customized veneers requires scheduling two appointments with your cosmetic dentist. At the first, your dental expert will numb the front portion of your mouth and then gently remove a layer of tooth enamel that is about equal to the thickness of veneers. This is completed so the veneers fit evenly in your mouth. Once your teeth are prepared, an impression is taken that our cosmetic dental lab uses to fabricate your veneers. While this happens, your dentist will give you a temporary set to wear, so you’ll even have a boost of confidence from your very first appointment.
The second appointment is when your permanent porcelain veneers are bonded into place and you get to see your brand-new smile in the mirror!
