Have you ever wondered how stars and celebrities achieve such beautiful, bright, cosmetically-flawless smiles? Usually with the expertise of a skilled cosmetic dentist. Even though it may seem like it at times, such smile perfection isn’t solely the privilege of the rich and famous. One of the more beloved smile improvement techniques is dental veneers, which can reinvent your smile’s appearance in just one procedure. If you’re unhappy with how your smile looks, then ask Dr. Hakimzadeh if porcelain veneers can help you.
What are dental veneers for?
Veneers are wafer-thin shells of dental porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of blemished teeth. They’re often the preferred treatment for stubborn teeth stains, chips and minor cracks, and a host of other cosmetic issues. Since they can improve any number of teeth almost instantly, veneers are usually recommended to improve numerous teeth with a single treatment.
Will they fit well?
Each veneer is custom-designed to a specific tooth according to an impression made from your mouth. Once the veneers are crafted, Dr. Hakimzadeh will carefully bond them to your teeth, ensuring a comfortable, durable, and natural fit.
Do dental veneers look natural?
Their size and shape aren’t the only things that make veneers look and feel natural. The porcelain used is semi-translucent, like tooth enamel, and specially layered to reflect light in the same manner as your tooth’s outer layer. Dental porcelain is also tinted to match the color of your natural teeth, creating a discreet restoration that blends in seamlessly with your smile.
Is the procedure complicated?
Placing dental veneers usually requires two visits. During your first appointment, Dr. Hakimzadeh will prepare your teeth by sculpting away a minimal amount of enamel (less than 0.5mm) to accommodate the veneers. After making a mold of your smile, he’ll send the impressions to a skilled and trusted ceramist to custom-craft your veneers. During your next visit, Dr. Hakimzadeh will bond the permanent veneers to your teeth for a blemish-free smile that you’ll enjoy showing the world.
