How To Get The Perfect Smile With Veneers

Do you have a smile that you are not happy with? Are your teeth stained, chipped, or crooked? If so, veneers may be the perfect solution for you! Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are placed over your natural teeth to improve their appearance. They can correct a variety of dental problems, including discoloration, chips, and gaps between teeth. Veneers can also make your teeth look straighter.

A brief history on veneers

Dental veneers have been around for many years. In fact, they were first used in the early 1900s. At that time, veneers were made of a type of shellac. This material was not as strong or durable as porcelain, so it did not last very long. In the 1950s, veneers made of porcelain were introduced. These veneers were much more durable and looked more natural than the earlier shellac veneers. Today, veneers are made of either porcelain or composite resin. Composite veneers are not as strong as porcelain veneers, but they are less expensive.

What you should know about the process

During the consultation, one of our dentists in Arvada, Castle Rock, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, or Aurora will evaluate your teeth to determine if veneers are right for you. If you decide to move forward with veneers, your next appointment will be for preparation. This is when we will remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to make room for the veneers. Once your teeth are prepared, the veneers will be bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive.

If you are considering veneers, it is important to book a consultation to have all your questions answered and find out if they’re the right cosmetic treatment to achieve your vision. Call today to schedule a consultation!
