Do you want to obtain a makeover for your smile this summer? Then talk to our team about our custom and lifelike dental veneers. Made from natural-looking porcelain, these can offer major transformation for your smile! In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about our porcelain veneers and how they can offer a new smile for our patients.

The Smile Makeover Potential

Each veneer is a very thin shell of porcelain. We attach them to the front-facing side of each tooth, which instantly changes the shape and color. When in place, we can cover up teeth stains and even fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between your teeth. The placement process also helps correct misshapen teeth or could repair minor damage. We’ve even used them lengthen worn down teeth. For some, we could place them to correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or other orthodontics. As you can see, taking on multiple cosmetic imperfections means a smile makeover is possible.

Creating and Placing Your New Veneers

To ensure a lifelike appearance and a perfect fit, we will custom-make each one we place. To begin, we will numb the teeth being treated so that we can comfortably remove a thin layer of outer enamel to make room for the new cosmetic restorations. Our team then gathers detailed digital images and measurements of these teeth, creating 3D impressions of your teeth that we use in a lab setting to design and craft your new veneers. These will be color-matched to blend with your smile and ensure a lifelike appearance. We could even whiten your teeth beforehand so they match your brightest possible smile.

Keeping Your Restorations Beautiful

To ensure your restorations remain bright and beautiful, be sure you brush and floss daily. We urge people to avoid tobacco products and also cut back on the amount of sugar and starch in their diet. These factors can help prevent teeth stains and issues that could threaten teeth and restorations, such as cavities, infection, and gum disease.
