Porcelain veneers can transform your smile. Additionally, they are easy to attach to the teeth. However, a little prep work is required; this includes removing a negligible bit of tooth enamel to ensure a flushed and natural-looking finish. You never want your veneers to appear thick and bulky.
About Dental Veneers in Rehoboth Beach, DE
We use quality porcelain to fabricate our dental veneers, which are tooth shields cemented to the forward-facing teeth. You can cosmetically treat one tooth or several, concealing the following:
- Short and worn teeth
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Unusual spacing between teeth
- Oddly Shaped teeth
- Gummy-looking smiles
- Tooth stains and discoloration
Dental veneers can be transformative and are often worn by celebrities!
The Dental Veneer Process and Tooth Shaving
The first step is an evaluation with your Rehoboth Beach dentist. At this initial visit, we want to ensure you’re a candidate for this type of cosmetic dentistry. We also want to establish that veneers will give you the results you’re hoping for.
If you move forward with treatment, we will fabricate your veneers to complement your smile. However, before placing these restorations, your dentist shaves or etches away a bit of tooth enamel under anesthesia. This ensures your veneers look natural and not thicker than untreated teeth.
Because we remove some dental enamel, it’s essential to consider your new veneers permanent. If you lose or damage one, the tooth is exposed and vulnerable to infection, decay, breakage, and sensitivity. Therefore, a lost or damaged veneer must always be replaced.
However, veneers are durable and can last for a decade or longer with good habits and regular dental care.
