The right smile can change the way people see you, and the way you see yourself. Make the sparkle in your eyes even brighter with an improved smile. When considering cosmetic dental alterations, consider veneers in Basingstoke. Help for patients with discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth can be found with the use of veneers. If you desire to close small gaps between your teeth, consider the use of veneers. Many patients leave their dentist with a new and improved, pleasing-to-the-eye smile.
What is a Veneer?
Veneers are very thin, custom-made shells designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of a patient’s smile. They are customized to match the size, shape and color of other teeth.
A few conditions that may be corrected by the use of veneers include:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Teeth with small gaps
- Teeth that are too small or disproportional to other teeth
The use of veneers may correct several cosmetic issues, and may be a good alternative to more invasive oral surgeries. Other cosmetic procedures will be discussed during your initial consultation if your dentist feels they would better benefit you.
The Procedure
Prior to beginning any dental procedure, your dentist will schedule a consultation with you to assess your needs and wants. At this time your dentist may create a digital representation of your mouth to better assist in treatment planning.
Because of the nature of the selected veneer material, your situation may permit little to no reduction of enamel. In such cases, the veneers are rigidly contoured to the shape and size of the prepared surface of the tooth, and chemically bonded to attain the desired change in tooth alignment and appearance.
The veneering process may take 2 to 3 appointments, and timings may vary. During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to communicate your aesthetic goals. This may also include preparation for anticipated aftercare.
Understanding your aesthetic objectives for enhancement of your smile is important to us. It is also important to us that you understand all available alternatives to achieve your goals.
Before selecting a dentist to provide your veneers, it is important to evaluate the dentist’s overall treatment philosophy, anticipated results, and expected commitment to your long-term care.
