Porcelain Veneers in Cary, NC
Improving the appearance of your teeth has never been easier. With porcelain veneers, you can conceal chipped, crooked, or discolored teeth for a flawless smile. They are constructed of thin shells of porcelain that are custom-made for your teeth. What makes veneers so popular is their combination of good looks and function. Not only can they completely transform the look of your teeth, but they also have strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. If you’re in search of the perfect way to completely change your smile, veneers is the ultimate solution.
Porcelain Veneers Procedure
It can take up to three appointments to complete porcelain veneers which include the treatment planning process, preparation of the teeth, and bonding. It’s important to understand the limitations of porcelain veneers to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. During a consultation, you can explain your objectives for the procedure and how you want to attain the desired effect.
Once you’ve progressed through the planning process, our dentist will prepare your teeth for Porcelain Veneers. To do this, the teeth are buffed to account for the thickness of the veneer. Depending on the condition of your teeth and your personal preferences, the dentist may administer a local anesthetic to increase comfort.
After the teeth have been prepped, Dr. Qureshy will attach the custom-made veneers onto the front surfaces of your teeth. A special cement is used between the veneer and the tooth to create a strong bond. The light hardens the cement.
If you only had one or a few teeth covered with veneers, there should not be a noticeable difference in the color of the veneer compared to your natural teeth. If you choose to put them on all of your teeth, you can start fresh by choosing a bright white color that you’ll be proud to display.
