Dental veneers in Champaign, IL, may be a suitable option if you’ve taken care of your teeth over the years but have cosmetic issues you’d like to address.
However, to be sure, I have you come for a consultation in my dental office. This visit includes a candidacy screening and answers any questions about cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers.
What Are Porcelain Veneers and What Is the Process
Porcelain veneers are shells of quality porcelain fabricated to look natural in your mouth. I cement them to the fronts of your teeth to conceal most tooth imperfections.
The process includes your consultation. If you’re a candidate for dental veneers, I take impressions to ensure fit and a natural look. Before cementing your veneers, I remove a bit of porcelain to provide a flush and natural-looking finish. You want the veneers to follow your untreated teeth in look and finish and not bulk out from the gum.
Enamel removal means your veneers are permanent and should always be replaced if lost or damaged.
If porcelain veneers are unsuitable for your cosmetic goals, I may recommend alternatives like dental crowns or tooth bonding. We can examine the options closely during your consultation.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Hide?
Dental veneers are adaptable to most tooth imperfections, including the following:
- Slightly misaligned or crooked teeth
- Short or worn teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Tooth discoloration
- Tooth chips
- General tooth flaws
- Gummy smiles
I’ll let you know what to expect for your smile following dental veneer placement.
