VENEERS
Dental Veneers in Oxford, NC
What would make a smile beautiful? That's a complex question, however some qualities of a delightful smile are instantly recognizable: good tooth color, form and alignment are some of the most important ones. If your tooth may use improvement in any of these categories, porcelain veneers
may be exactly what you are searching for.
You may already understand a veneer is a thin covering on the other surface. In dentistry, a veneer is a wafer-thin coating of super-strong ceramic which substitutes for natural tooth enamel. When bonded to your tooth, veneers may create a natural-looking, amazing fresh surface. That's because dental porcelain, like natural tooth decay, is translucent as well as demanding. But it will not blot like tooth-enamel does.
Modern times have brought remarkable advances in dental porcelain technology. These days, veneers can be made so thin they could sometimes be bonded directly on your current enamel. In other circumstances, an extremely thin layer of tooth enamel -- as lean because the veneer itself -- needs to be removed to fit the new porcelain surface and also make it look as lifelike as you can. Either way, the results are certain to cause you to smile. Call (252) 492-6004

and get the smile you’ve always wanted!
Size & Shape
Teeth can become worn down from grinding customs, or may not have exactly the size or shape you want to begin with. By way of instance, some people believe rounder teeth womanly and squarer teeth masculine. Veneers can be shaped and sized in whichever way is most flattering to that person.
Alignment & Spacing
Veneers may be used to close tiny gaps between teeth or create small corrections in alignment when improving tooth color and contour.
Limitations of all Porcelain Veneers
There are a few situations in which veneers would be inappropriate. By way of instance, when you have misaligned teeth or a large gap, orthodontics might be a more appropriate solution than dentures. And when you have lost plenty of tooth arrangement from rust or trauma (or a particularly severe grinding habit), then it may be preferable to restore your teeth with porcelain crowns that cover the whole tooth.
Creating a New Smile Using Porcelain Veneers
Step one in creating a new smile with porcelain veneers will be really to communicate precisely what you don't like about your smile as it's currently. It's really a wonderful concept to bring in images of smiles you do like, as a starting point for debate. It's possible to see veneers will look on your own teeth just one of the ways. A version of your teeth may be created through which wax "veneers" can be placed; sometimes acrylic (plastic) or unbelieving filling material could be placed directly on your own teeth to demonstrate the effect veneers might have on them.
Once the plan has been agreed upon, your tooth will be prepared by removing a little bit of enamel, if this measure is essential. Molds one's teeth will be taken and used with a skilled dental lab to create your own veneers, and you will receive a temporary group of veneers to wear through the couple weeks it takes to make your permanent implants. If the veneers return from the lab, they will soon be cemented onto your tooth.
Caring for the Veneers
Just like the teeth nature gave teeth revived with veneers need gentle brushing and flossing daily. This can remove plaque and ensure decent gum tissue health round the veneers. Regular checkups at the dentist will remain as crucial as always to your dental and overall wellness. And remember as tough as dentures are, they might not be able to withstand forces which originate from using your teeth gear (to open packages, by way of instance) or biting to very hard foods like candy apples -- which isn't great for your natural teeth, either! And if you grind or clench your teeth through the night, you might be advised to have yourself a custom-made night guard to guard your veneers along with your investment.
