A Smile You Can Be Proud of in Less Time
Your smile is an essential part of your personality, and having a beautiful one can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. If you’re unhappy with your teeth’s appearance due to stains, gaps, chips, or other imperfections, you might be considering cosmetic dentistry procedures to enhance your smile.
West Chester cosmetic dentist Dr. Ron Briglia offers porcelain veneers, one of the most popular and effective options is porcelain dental veneers. Porcelain veneers can give you the smile you’ve always wanted, often in less time than other dental treatments.
What are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
Porcelain dental veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They cover a wide range of cosmetic dental issues, including discoloration, cracks, chips, gaps, and misshapen teeth. Porcelain veneers mimic the natural look of your teeth and can enhance your smile’s overall appearance by correcting minor and major dental imperfections.
Before and After Treatment Images of Actual Patients
Before
After
When Anne looked in the mirror, all she saw were her four yellow, worn front teeth. Needless to say, Anne was very unhappy with the appearance of her smile. Previously, these teeth had been treated with veneers. But, like natural teeth, over time dental materials can start to show their age.
Anne’s case called for these old, failing veneers to be replaced with a brand-new set, fabricated from quality dental porcelain. Designed down to the finest detail these stain-resistant, natural-looking, and durable veneers were securely fixed to the front surfaces of her teeth. Once Anne saw her new teeth, she couldn’t stop smiling. And we agree; she looks gorgeous. Moreover, she feels much better and more confident with her improved smile. These veneers are designed to last and last, with routine and consistent oral care.
Looking to fix those chips and cracks on your teeth? Ask your doctor about Veneers!
Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
The Benefits of Porcelain Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer numerous benefits, including:
- Improved Appearance: Porcelain veneers can transform the appearance of your teeth and give you a beautiful, bright smile.
- Durability: Porcelain veneers are durable and long-lasting, typically lasting up to 15 years with proper care.
- Stain-resistant: Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and drinks without worrying about discoloration.
- Minimal Tooth Reduction: Porcelain veneers require minimal tooth reduction compared to other dental procedures such as dental crowns.
- Easy Maintenance: Porcelain veneers are easy to care for, requiring regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
The Porcelain Dental Veneers Process
While the process for receiving custom-made porcelain dental veneers can vary from patient to patient, there are some common steps. Here’s what you can expect during the process:
Initial Consultation
During your initial consultation with Briglia Dental Group, your West Chester cosmetic dentist, Dr. Briglia will evaluate your oral health and discuss your cosmetic dental goals. He’ll also explain the porcelain veneers process and answer any questions you may have.
Designing Your Veneers
If you’ve been approved for dental veneers, we’ll take images and impressions of your teeth to design your personalized veneers. We’ll also help you choose the shade of porcelain that matches your natural teeth or recommend a whiter shade for a whiter appearance.
Installing Your Veneers
Once your veneers are ready, your cosmetic dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to create room for the veneers. Before bonding the veneers to your teeth, your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your veneers fit comfortably and look natural. Finally, he’ll use dental cement to bond the veneers to your teeth and cure them with a special light.
How to Maintain Your Porcelain Veneers and Dental Crowns:
Here are some tips for keeping your porcelain veneers and dental crowns looking their best:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with a non-abrasive toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss at least once a day to remove food particles and plaque buildup between your teeth and around your veneers or crown.
- Use an antibacterial mouthwash to kill bacteria and freshen your breath.
- Avoid using your teeth to open packages, bottles, or anything that could damage your veneers or crown.
- Wear a night guard if you grind or clench your teeth while sleeping to prevent damage to your veneers or crown.
- Visit Briglia Dental Group regularly for routine dental exams and cleanings to ensure the integrity of your veneers or crown and to detect any potential issues early.
By following these simple tips, you can maintain the beauty and function of your porcelain veneers or dental crown for many years to come.
