Your company’s 25th-anniversary gala is in a few weeks, and you’re expected to make a speech. Not only is this a black-tie affair, but major figures from the local community will be in attendance. If you’ve ever been in a similar situation, and your smile has left you dreading the upcoming event, there’s good news. Permanent porcelain veneers can cover any imperfections you want to hide, giving you renewed confidence and a beautiful smile. Read on to find out how.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Using thin sheaths of porcelain, your dentist can cover chips, cracks, stain, gaps between your teeth, and minor misalignments. These shell coverings are not only durable, but they’re permanent, which means, once you have porcelain veneers placed, you cannot return to your original smile.
Porcelain veneers are a lasting solution that will completely transform your smile.
How Does the Process Work?
After talking with your cosmetic dentist about having porcelain veneers placed, you can expect your treatment to be completed in two appointments. During your initial visit, your dentist will numb the area that is to be treated. Then, a small portion of your tooth enamel will be removed to allow the veneer to lay flat against the smile line. Once this is completed, you’ll have an impression taken of your bite, which will be sent to the lab. This is where your customized veneers will be created.
Arriving for your final visit, your dentist will take your crafted veneers and place them, giving you a flawless smile.
It’s important to remember that your veneers will be customized to match the shape, size, and color of your nearby teeth, making it impossible for anyone to notice you’ve received treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?
While you may be trying to determine if porcelain veneers are the right treatment option for you, your cosmetic dentist wants you to have all the necessary information to make the right decision. To help, here are a few added benefits of porcelain veneers:
- With proper care and maintenance, you can expect your veneers to last for a decade or more.
- They’re stain-resistant because of the high-grade porcelain that’s used.
- You can continue your normal oral hygiene routine without worry. Brushing, flossing, rinsing, and visiting your dentist every six months is all you need to do to keep your veneers healthy and strong.
- The porcelain is durable and can withstand much of the normal wear and tear. It is advised that if you grind your teeth or play sports, you talk to your dentist about treatment options to prevent possible damage to your veneers.
Let porcelain veneers give you a smile you can be proud to show at your company’s gala! Stop trying to avoid the spotlight, and instead, embrace the opportunity to shine with a brand new smile!
