One of the best ways to boost your smile’s appearance is with natural-looking veneers. These thin porcelain shells are custom-made to the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. They’re bonded permanently to your tooth surface to improve your smile. An amazing smile transformation can be attained with veneers. A visit to McMullin Dental Care in Monroe, Michigan, can determine if you’re a good candidate for veneer treatment.
These FAQs explain more about veneers:
If you’re new to cosmetic dentistry, you may be surprised at all that veneers can do! Through veneer treatment, Dr. McMullin can correct an array of cosmetic dental issues in just one procedure. Teeth that are stained or discolored can be made white again with veneers. Veneers can repair chipped and cracked teeth, erase gaps between teeth, lengthen short teeth, and reshape irregular teeth to give your smile a more uniform appearance. Veneers can even improve your smile’s alignment by making slightly crooked teeth appear straight and even.Â
Dr. McMullin will evaluate your smile, discuss with you the areas you’d like to improve, and set goals for your treatment. This helps us determine how many veneers you’ll need to achieve the results you desire. To make space for the veneers, we’ll remove a thin layer of enamel from the teeth to be treated. Temporary veneers are placed while your new veneers are being made. This process can take a week or two to complete. When your veneers are ready, we’ll cement them in place permanently.Â
No. Getting veneers isn’t painful. If you have sensitive teeth, we can use an anesthetic when prepping your teeth or applying your restorations to ease any discomfort you may feel during your procedure.
Quality porcelain veneers can last 15+ years, with good oral care. Good oral hygiene and routine dental cleanings will help your veneers retain their attractive appearance long-term. You should also watch what you eat, as hard foods can wear down your veneers prematurely. Habits like chewing on ice, pencils, pens and opening bottles or packages with your teeth will also put your veneers at risk.
As veneer treatments are tailored to your unique needs, the cost of these procedures will vary among patients. Dr. McMullin can discuss veneer costs with you during your initial consultation. Taking into consideration the lifespan of veneers, most of our patients consider it a worthwhile investment to improve the quality of their smile.
