Are you satisfied with the appearance of your smile? Recently, the American Association of Orthodontists commissioned a study conducted by Wakefield Research. The results were surprising: Over a third of American adults are unhappy with the appearance of their smiles. Teeth stains, dental damage, and misalignment are all common dental issues that can hinder the beauty of your teeth. Fortunately, we offer a state-of-the-art procedure that can address an array of dental imperfections in as little as two visits. In today’s blog, your Chicago dentist, Dr. James Fondriest, answers frequently asked questions about instant smile rejuvenation with natural looking porcelain veneers.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Dental Veneers
Question: What are veneers?
Answer: Veneers are thin shells of special dental porcelain. Veneers are custom-made and placed on the front teeth by your Chicago IL cosmetic dentist using a powerful bonding agent.
Question: What can porcelain veneers do to improve my smile?
Answer: Porcelain veneers can address multiple smile issues. Veneers can mask permanent stains, improve the appearance of misalignment, close gaps between teeth, repair cracked or chipped teeth, reshape malformed or damaged teeth, and lengthen worn down teeth.
Question: What are no-prep veneers?
Answer: Porcelain veneers require the removal of small layers of tooth enamel before they can be placed. No-prep veneers require no loss of enamel. These breakthrough veneers are incredibly thin and blend seamlessly with your smile.
Question: How long do veneers last?
Answer: Your stain resistant veneers can provide decades of quality smile restoration. Simply care for your veneers as you would your natural teeth, maintaining dental habits such as brushing, flossing, and attending regular checkups and cleanings.
