There was a time when porcelain dental veneers were adhered to people’s teeth through the use of the same substance which temporarily secures dentures in place. This antiquated process meant that veneers would be more akin to false eyelashes. Patients naturally desired something they could rely on for more than a few hours at a time. The quest for veneers that could last for years on end was underway. Fortunately, the technology has come a long way, and veneers are now one of the most popular long term ways to makeover a flawed smile.
Making the Most of your Smile
Your smile does more than just help you snag a date, or make for a great post-able selfie. Every day, you should have many causes to smile. Your grin bridges gaps and gives off impressions to others. People who are uncomfortable or self-conscious due to a large amount of necessary dental work are likely to avoid smiling. Have you ever seen someone cover up their mouth to avoid you seeing their teeth? Have you ever attempted to smile with your lips tightly closed? Fortunately, there are dentists such as Dr. Engelberg who can makeover your smile and set you down the path of being able to beam brightly rather than hide your grin in shame.
What to Expect with Dental Veneers
Several types of materials can be used for dental veneers, so you may want to interview multiple dentists to find one with real expertise. Porcelain is the umbrella material for these wafer thin shells that are custom made to your measurements. However, different types of pressing, layering, and additional materials can make the difference between a flat, fake looking cosmetic dental procedure or a very realistic, translucent, flawless looking smile. Once adhered to your teeth, veneers can be shaped by Dr. Engelberg in order to cover up any flaws on your most visible teeth. A cosmetic procedure such as porcelain veneers can be finished within two or three visits.
