Porcelain veneers can reshape your teeth to give you the glamorous smile you have been dreaming about. The thin porcelain shells are custom-made to fit perfectly over your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers correct chipped, broken, crooked, and stained teeth. In addition, porcelain veneers can reshape and resize your teeth to create a more symmetrical smile.
Dr. Lakshay Sharma of Elite Smiles of Pflugerville can give you a picture-perfect natural smile with quality porcelain veneers. You’ll meet with Dr. Sharma in Pflugerville, TX for a complete examination and to discuss your goals.
Do you hate to smile because you feel like your teeth are misshapen, crooked, or stained? If so, porcelain veneers might be the ideal solution. Dr. Sharma will evaluate your oral health. If you have plaque, cavities, or gum disease, you’ll need to take care of the problems before veneers can be bonded to your teeth.
Dr. Sharma can successfully use porcelain veneers to address a variety of dental concerns and dramatically improve your smile.
The first step in having porcelain veneers applied will include the process of enamel etching, which removes a tiny amount of tooth enamel from your teeth. At this time, any shaping will also take place, and temporary veneers will be placed over your teeth until your personalized porcelain veneers are ready for application.
Dr. Sharma will then select a shade of white with you for your veneers. Remember, you should not go too white, or the teeth will not look natural. Normally, it is best to go a few shades lighter than your natural tooth color to transform your smile.
The dental team at Elite Smiles of Pflugerville will take impressions of your teeth to have the veneers created in the lab and ensure optimum fit. The veneers are custom-made at a laboratory and take about two weeks to complete. Once your veneers are ready for application, you will return to our office in Pflugerville, TX for application. Dr. Sharma will remove the temporary veneers and cement the new porcelain veneers onto the surface of your teeth.
You will take care of your new porcelain veneers just as you would your natural teeth. You should brush and floss daily. You’ll also want to schedule annual dental exams and twice-a-year dental cleanings to keep your gums and teeth healthy. With proper care, dental veneers can last from 10 – 15 years. If one should become damaged, it can easily be replaced with a new veneer.
