It may surprise you to learn that your teeth are actually an important part of your digestive system — they allow you to chew and break down your food in the first part of its journey to provide your body with needed fuel. They also help you speak.
Aside from their essential function, however, your teeth are also what people see every time you speak and smile.
If you’re less than pleased about your smile flaws — like chips, cracks, and other issues — you have an ideal option for making your smile dazzle again. The engaged and caring provider team at Expressions in Dentistry is dedicated to providing you with customized, advanced dental care, and they offer a transformative cosmetic dental treatment that revives your smile painlessly and beautifully.
In fact, it’s a treatment that many people in the public eye get, because it gives your smile a do-over by hiding a multitude of sins, yet it looks completely natural! Who wouldn’t want the smile of a star?
Wear and tear, trauma, acidic and dark-hued food and drink, and even some prescription medications can all conspire to dim your smile. Imperfections that our patients want to conceal include:
Although certain treatments and restorations can remedy a few of these issues, there’s one cosmetic dental approach that addresses all of them.
The Expressions in Dentistry team has extensive experience treating patients with veneers, paper-thin shells that are applied to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can be matched to the precise shape and size of your teeth or designed to make teeth appear smaller or larger to harmonize well with your other teeth.
Made of porcelain, dental veneers give your smile a big bang for your buck. The application process is easy and doesn’t steal a lot of your valuable time. We know you have a busy life, so we’re always looking for ways to streamline your treatment experience, no matter what service you come to us seeking.
The process of getting veneers is straightforward, but the first thing your Expressions in Dentistry provider will do is thoroughly examine your teeth to ensure that they’re free from any problems related to decay. Once you get the OK from your dentist that you’re a candidate for veneers, your treatment gets the green light!
When you come to our office for your veneers, your dentist first lightly grinds the surfaces of your teeth so they are a bit rough — this allows the veneer to adhere better to your teeth. Then we take an impression of your teeth, which will be used to make a mold. We send the mold to a lab to have your veneers custom fabricated.
Your dentist is also able to compare your teeth to a wide range of tooth shades and select the one that’s closest to your real teeth.
You return to our office for your veneer application after they’re delivered to us. Your dentist carefully places your veneers on your teeth using a special dental cement, ensuring that the fit and placement are “just right.”
When you see your smile with veneers for the first time, we guarantee you’ll be amazed. Gone are the cracks, chips, stains, and other flaws, and instead you’ll see a perfect, white, and stunning smile!
A little time in the dentist’s chair is a small price to pay for a million dollar smile — and throughout the process, we make sure you’re comfortable. Who knows—after your smile is transformed with veneers, you may get your own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
