Remake Your Smile With Veneers

Are you embarrassed to smile because your teeth are damaged or stained? Worrying about your smile is a thing of the past when a cosmetic dentist can remake your smile with dental veneers. Dr. C. Benjamin Massey of Massey Family Dentistry in Charlotte, NC, can restore your beautiful smile with a new set of veneers.

What are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are used in dentistry to correct imperfect teeth. They can help restore teeth that are badly stained or that have been damaged by an injury. Most commonly, veneers are used to repair chipped, cracked, and gapped teeth. You do not need to suffer a dental injury to get veneers, however. Many people choose veneers for their cosmetic appeal. It is an easy way to get the smile you always wanted without bleaching your teeth or getting braces.

Veneers are usually made of porcelain or composite resin. They serve as a veil over your natural teeth to give the appearance of a straight white smile. Veneers are also stain resistant so that whiteness should last a long time. Talk with Dr. Massey in Charlotte to decide if veneers are right for you. You could become one of the millions of people who have had their life changed by dental veneers.

How are Veneers implanted?

Veneers are like shells for your teeth. Your cosmetic dentist will take an impression of your teeth to form a mold. This mold will mimic your natural teeth while fixing any imperfection you may have. Applying veneers does require the removal of some enamel, but with proper care, veneers can be just as strong and lasting as your original teeth.

After your dentist receives your custom veneers from the mold, they will prepare the teeth for the bonding agent. They will do a deep clean and may reshape your teeth to fit the mold. The bonding is applied to the front of your teeth and the veneers are dried and hardened in place using UV light. After this simple procedure, you will have a whole new set of teeth!
