Beautiful smiles don’t always come naturally. Sometimes, they’re created by a skilled aesthetic dentist using natural-looking veneers. Veneers are thin, custom-crafted porcelain coverings placed over the surface of chipped, cracked, stained, or misshapen teeth to improve their appearance. By concealing imperfections in your teeth, veneers can give your smile a stunning, flawless appearance.
Dr. Drew Richardson and Dr. Brant Sandifer from Athens Dental Group are your go-to aesthetic dentists for veneers in the Watkinsville, Georgia, area. If your smile isn’t to your liking due to flawed teeth, here are some compelling reasons to perfect it with veneers.
Porcelain is a durable, stain-resistant material that closely resembles the color and sheen of natural teeth. Custom veneers will blend in so well with your natural teeth that no one can tell the difference. Veneers will make all imperfections disappear to give your smile a seamless, natural, eye-catching appearance. Once porcelain veneers are bonded in place, they become a part of your smile permanently. With good oral care, they can last over 15 years.
Porcelain is known for its strength and durability. In addition to improving your smile’s esthetics, your veneers will strengthen chipped and cracked teeth, making them less vulnerable to breakage in the future. Nevertheless, veneers need good oral care to stay in good shape long-term. This care includes diligent brushing and flossing, regular dental cleanings, and avoiding biting down on hard substances or foods.
Porcelain veneers are a minimally invasive treatment that can often be completed in two dental visits. A consultation with Drs. Richardson and Sandifer will determine if veneers are a good fit for you. If so, we’ll prep the teeth to be fixed by shaving off a thin enamel layer to make room for veneers. Once your teeth are ready, impressions are taken and sent to a lab where veneers are fabricated. Your restorations will be ready within a few weeks, at which time we’ll attach them permanently to your teeth to transform your grin.
Veneers are quite versatile in the problems they can fix. A smile makeover with veneers may be all you need to dramatically improve your smile’s aesthetics. Veneers can be used to conceal chips, cracks, and stains in your teeth, close gaps in your smile, reshape irregular teeth, and straighten teeth that are slightly crooked or uneven.
Veneers can give you the confidence to smile without making you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Your concerns about flawed teeth will disappear, making sharing your life with others easy. Transforming your smile with veneers can boost your confidence, improve your self-image, and give you a positive outlook for the future.
