People that have beautiful teeth love to smile, however, people that have chipped, cracked or grossly discolored teeth are not so fortunate; smiling to these people can be very distressing. Fortunately, there are ways to solve the problem of teeth with surface imperfections, perhaps the most popular is porcelain veneers in Arlington Heights.
What are veneers?
Porcelain veneers are very thin wafers that are custom made to fit the profile of your teeth. Veneers are very strong, long lasting and it is hard to tell them from natural teeth. Veneers are not only used to cover imperfections, they can also be used to close gaps between teeth and they can be used to correct minor tooth alignment problems.
Teeth must first be prepared by the dentist, he or she will remove a wafer thin layer of enamel, just enough to accommodate the thickness of the veneer. Once the teeth have been prepared an impression is made, the impression is used to make a mold which is a perfect copy of your teeth. The mold is sent to a dental lab where the veneers are produced.
Once your veneers are ready, your dentist bonds them to the front of your teeth using a special dental adhesive.
Veneers are a great option:
Over the years even the best maintained teeth can become discolored, chipped or cracked. People that have these problems are ideal candidates for veneers in Arlington Heights.
If you are unhappy with the looks of your teeth and uncomfortable when you smile, talk to your dentist. If the dentist confirms that you are a good candidate for veneers, take part in the process. Let your dentist know what it is you have in mind, what anomalies that you would like to have taken care of and what you envision your new smile to look like.
Don’t let your teeth impact your ability to smile, if you are self-conscious about the looks of your teeth, veneers can make a big difference.
