Everyone wants perfect teeth. Over the last few years, dental veneers have become incredibly popular because they allow people to enhance their smiles quickly. Rather than wear braces for years or undergo several dental restoration procedures, you can get white and straight teeth with veneers.
Firefly Family Dentistry has years of experience providing cosmetic dentistry in Wauwatosa, WI. Veneers are a great option for patients with chipped teeth, significant tooth discoloration, or other oral health problems impacting their self-esteem.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are tooth-colored shells attached directly to teeth to improve their appearance. Your Wauwatosa dentist custom creates durable veneers from composite resin or porcelain and permanently bonds them to the teeth. Typically, patients require between six to eight veneers on the front teeth in the front for a perfectly even smile.
What Does the Process Entail?
If you are considering getting veneers, you should know that it’s an easy and pain-free process. Dr. Matthew Sandberg, Dr. Katelyn Stine and their team at Firefly Family Dentistry can complete the full process within two to three days.
Examination and Taking Impressions
On the first day of the procedure, we’ll conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and remove just enough enamel from each tooth to allow the veneers to adhere. Next, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth and send them to the lab so that the technicians can create the veneers.
Ensuring a Secure Fit
During your next visit, the doctor will thoroughly clean your teeth gently scrape away some of the tooth surfaces to improve the way the veneers bond to the teeth. You’ll have a chance to try them on to see how they fit.
Just like natural teeth, not all veneers look the same. We work closely with our patients to create veneers that best suit their faces to achieve a natural look that they will love.
If there are dental features you want to enhance or mask with veneers, let our dental experts know, and we’ll work together to come up with a solution. Once you approve of the final fit, Dr. Sandberg and Dr. Stine will permanently apply the veneers to your teeth.
How Long Will Veneers Last?
Veneers can give you a perfect smile for several years to come. However, they won’t last forever. It’s important to take care of your veneers just like you would your natural teeth. With good maintenance, your veneers could last between 20 and 25 years before they need repairing or replacing.
