It’s easy to renew your smile with porcelain veneers. They are placed over the front surface of teeth with cosmetic issues to create a flawless smile. Porcelain veneers can conceal stains, discolorations, chips, and other concerns. Dr. Kimberly Parker can renew your smile with porcelain dental veneers at Tuscaloosa Family Dental in Tuscaloosa, AL.
The Veneers Process
Porcelain veneers are extremely thin covers affixed to the front surface of teeth with dental or cosmetic flaws. Veneers can be made from several different types of materials, but porcelain is a popular option because it closely matches the look of natural tooth enamel. Additionally, veneers are custom-made for the best possible fit. Once in place, your custom porcelain veneers will look like your natural teeth.
The veneers process involves a few steps. The teeth that will be receiving veneers need to be prepared in advance by removing a small amount of enamel. Doing so allows the veneers to be aligned with the surrounding teeth rather than protrude out slightly. Once the teeth have been prepped, a physical mold will be taken of your teeth. The mold will be sent to a dental lab where highly skilled technicians will craft custom porcelain veneers for you.
It takes a few weeks for custom veneers to be fabricated and then sent back to your dentist. Once they’re ready, you’ll return to our office in Tuscaloosa, AL, to have your dental veneers permanently cemented to your teeth. Any cosmetic issues being addressed will be completely concealed and you’ll be able to enjoy your flawless, new smile.
