When it’s time for a smile makeover with porcelain veneers

When we talk of dental veneers, it means a material used to cover the front surface of the tooth to make it look better. It is very comparable to placing artificial fingernails on top of your natural nails to change how it looks. Cosmetic dentists like Dr. Joseph Tartagni of Shoreline Dental Care uses porcelain veneers to restore or improve the shape and color of your teeth, or to close gaps between your teeth to make them look more even. Teeth veneers are excellent for covering stains or discolorations on your teeth such as those caused by nicotine in cigarettes. As you grow older, wear and tear of your teeth occurs, which affects the way you smile and makes you look older than you actually are. In addition, dental veneers may be used to restore the size of worn teeth and take years off your smile.

The best thing about porcelain veneers is that you can have the smile you want in just two visits to your trusted Shoreline cosmetic dentist in West Haven and Milford CT. The simple procedure stars with shaving a thin layer of your outer enamel, roughly the thickness of an eggshell, after which, an impression of the prepared teeth is taken and sent to a dental laboratory. This is where porcelain laminates are made to complete the necessary corrections that are needed for your smile makeover. In your second visit, the laminates are bonded to the prepared teeth using a special adhesive, which hardens when exposed to a special light that your dentist will use. The next time you smile, it’s the smile you have always dreamed of.
