Often referred to porcelain laminates, ceramic sheaths, or porcelain veneers, they are long lasting, stain resistant and improve the appearance of the front surface of the teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thickness of each shell is only half a millimeter and to bond to the surface, an equal thickness has to be removed from the affected tooth. \u00a0Porcelain, the primary material being used to make these laminates has a translucent property similar to a dental enamel and helps reflect the original tooth color of the patient. Porcelain itself is brittle so it relies on the strength of the underlying enamel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although veneers require a thin layer of enamel to be removed which can cause teeth sensitivity for a short time, the application is 100% safe and painless. Since its primary purpose is to improve the overall aesthetics of the teeth, dental veneers are recommended for a front tooth only. This procedure may not be useful in places where the teeth are not usually visible like the back molars. This is also not a solution for a missing or damaged tooth as such a case would require a dental implant, crown or overlay.

The procedure has a few steps: \u00a0Consultation and planning; preparation of the mouth and the creation of impressions; and the application itself. Usually, a patient will have two to three visits with our DDS until the procedure is complete, depending on whether the patient has also had a separate consultation visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Consultation and Planning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; This will be first meeting of the patient with our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cosmetic dentist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The patient will discuss their particular problems and any aesthetic desires. The dentist will do an exam and evaluation and discuss whether veneers are the best fit for the situation. For instance, if there is a bite issue, then it has to be attended first before going on with the procedure. The patient may also discuss other cosmetic and restorative procedures as well as the overall cost and expected healing time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparation and Taking Impressions of the Patient&#8217;s teeth &#8211; The next visit contains two of the most crucial steps of the procedure:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><b>Preparation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; In this step, the dentist removes a layer of the enamel equal to that of the proposed laminate (more layer is removed for composites, less on porcelains) from the surface of the teeth. When the teeth are crowded or crooked, more materials need to be removed on the surface of the teeth and on the sides of the teeth as well. It is normal to experience pain and discomfort during due to the gums being bruised from the enamel trimming. The discomfort can last a few days but during this short time, the gums will heal and there is not much pain and discomfort after that. Any broken tooth would be restored before going on with the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><b>Impressions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; The dentist will prepare the impressions. The impressions and the material of choice are sent to the lab to be prepared. The lab then prepares the impressions according to the dentist&#8217;s instructions. The process could take from five up to ten days in which it overlaps the healing of the gums and ensures that it fits properly to the patient&#8217;s teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0Application <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; This is the final step and it happens after the impression is complete. The process would take about 10 days. The patient&#8217;s teeth will be cleaned, polished, chemically etched and the surface of the teeth roughened. This procedure will help improve the bonding process. This is then attached to the teeth using a transparent cement. If the surface is porcelain and is being applied to the discolored teeth, an opaque cement will be used to glue it on the teeth. The color of the cement will match the color of the adjacent teeth. After the successful application, the patient is asked to close the mouth and determine if the upper set of teeth fits properly and comfortably with the bottom part of the teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-28 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img width=\"660\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneer-before.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneer-before-200x119.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneer-before-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneer-before-400x238.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneer-before-600x356.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneer-before.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3628'>\n\t\t\t\tBefore\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img width=\"660\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneers-after.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneers-after-200x119.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneers-after-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneers-after-400x238.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneers-after-600x356.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Veneers-after.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3629'>\n\t\t\t\tAfter\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span>Our dentist may schedule another visit in several weeks to check the placement again.\u00a0Cost estimates are specific to your situation.

A crown replaces the enamel &#8220;cap&#8221; of the tooth and can extend all the way down to the gum line.

During the consultation, the dentist and the patient discuss the procedure. The dentist may also take X-rays and mouth and teeth impressions.<\/p>\n<p>During the preparation, the dentist will grind away part of the tooth enamel to make room for the veneer. He will then make an impression of the tooth and send it to a laboratory that will make the veneer. A week or two later, he will fit the veneer to the tooth and then bond it to the tooth with a cement.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4586,"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28\/revisions\/4586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
