What Are Veneers?
Veneers are made of either a porcelain or composite resin material that covers the front of your teeth. This thin, but durable covering reshapes your teeth to give them a more attractive and natural appearance without having to replace all or most of your tooth structure. Veneers can be used to correct a wide range of dental problems such as:
- Discolored teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Misshapen or crooked teeth
- Uneven gaps between teeth
- Minor orthodontic issues
Since veneers are made to blend in with the natural color of your teeth, they have become a popular choice to improving the aesthetics and function of your teeth.
Our Florissant, MO Veneer Procedure
When you come in for your appointment with our Florissant, MO cosmetic dentist, you will have an opportunity to discuss if veneers are right for you. We encourage that you take this time to ask any questions about the procedure such as costs and bring in a photo of how you would like your smile to look like in regards to color, shape, and size. We may put together a computerized or wax model of the teeth to show you what your finished results may look like.
Once you agree upon the procedure, Dr. Herrin will take a few X-rays and impressions of your teeth to map out your veneer placement. He will then put in a local anesthesia for each tooth and file away a small amount of your tooth enamel. This will help fit the veneer mold securely in place using a dental adhesive. The veneer is shaped and smoothed out to take on the natural appearance of your own teeth for aesthetic and functional purposes. Caring for your veneers requires the same oral routine with daily brushing and flossing. By maintaining and following good dental hygiene, it will extend the quality of your veneers as long as possible.
