Discover the many ways porcelain veneers could improve the shape or appearance of your teeth.veneers

Are you unhappy with the shape of your smile? Do you wish your smile was more symmetrical? While there are a lot of cosmetic dentistry options out there from which to choose, if you want to alter the shape, size or color of your smile then it might be time to talk to our Stamford, CT, dentists Dr. Irina Pogosian and Dr. Thomas Ohlson about getting dental veneers.

What are dental veneers?

These thin porcelain layers are adhered to the front of one or more teeth to enhance the look of your smile. Each veneer is customized based on the tooth or teeth you want to improve. The porcelain offers a translucency that matches that of natural tooth enamel and can be an easy way to give your smile the makeover it deserves in only a couple of visits.

What problems can veneers address?

You may want to consider getting dental veneers in Stamford, CT if you are dealing with any of these cosmetic problems:

  • Chips and cracks
  • Discolorations that won’t respond to professional teeth whitening
  • Misshapen or malformed teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Minor crowding or crookedness
  • Teeth that are worn down or too short

Veneers have the ability to alter the shape, size or color of one or more teeth. If you’ve also wanted to get a straighter smile but you only have a very subtle misalignment then chances are good that you don’t want to wear braces in order to fix this minor issue. This is where veneers can come in to improve the alignment of your smile without ever needing braces.

What goes into getting dental veneers?

Here are the steps involved in getting these cosmetic restorations:

Step 1—Consultation: We need to make sure that veneers are truly the best way to improve your smile. This consultation involves examining your teeth and conducting X-rays to make sure they are healthy enough to support veneers. We will also talk to you about your treatment goals to make sure veneers can offer what you are looking for.

Step 2—Tooth Preparation: With traditional veneers, a very small amount of enamel will need to be removed from the front portion of your teeth. After your teeth are prepped we will need to take impressions of your teeth. A dental laboratory will use these impressions to create properly fitted veneers.

Step 3—Veneer Fitting: Once your veneers are fabricated (this usually takes about one week) you’ll come in so that we can check the look and fit before bonding each one to the front of your teeth. The bonding process is non-invasive and completely painless.
