subject: dental veneers [print this page] What options are available to me if I dont like my smile?
Depending on the type of problem and whether you have other issues that need addressing, the most common choices for correcting gaps between the teeth are porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns. Are the procedures safe?
Yes. Both procedures are non-invasive and pose little risk. What else should I take into account?
When deciding on the right smile makeover procedure for you, it is important to take into account the extent of your problems, and whether you have other issues you would like to have addressed. For example, some patients might choose to combine procedures, as in a smile makeover, to address multiple issues at once. How long will it last?
Your porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns are sturdy and affixed securely to the surface of your teeth. If properly cared for, you can expect porcelain crowns and veneers to last as long as fifteen or twenty years. Is it painful?
Porcelain veneers require the treated tooth to be slightly scuffed, to create a surface that will adhere strongly to the porcelain. This requires little anaesthetic. Crowns are treatments for severe decay, which means the tooth must be cleared of all decay and bacteria before the crown can be placed. This is a more extensive procedure and would require more local anaesthetic. In both treatments, local anaesthetic takes care of any pain you might have otherwise felt. Which procedure is right for me?
This depends on your overall dental condition, and what you want from your procedure. The only way to answer this question is for you to schedule your free personal consultation today and discuss it with our helpful, knowledgeable staff.
