Have you ever seen a picture of a celebrity on the red carpet or a popular content creator on Instagram and wondered how their smile is so perfect? The secret is likely veneers. This smile-enhancing treatment can address multiple dental flaws simultaneously, from slight misalignment to permanent discoloration. And we have advanced dental technology to thank for their long lifespan and pristine appearance as well! To learn all about the advancements that benefit patients interested in getting veneers, read on!
Digital X-Rays
In order to be a candidate for veneers, your oral health needs to be in pristine condition. Otherwise, the root of the problem (like tooth decay or gum disease) could compromise your veneers, shortening their lifespan. The good news is that digital X-rays allow for more accurate diagnoses and precise treatment planning, ensuring your veneers have a solid foundation.
Digital Impression System
Previously, taking impressions required the use of a putty-like substance that was a bit messy and not exactly comfortable. Don’t worry – those days are long gone. Now a digital impression system is used to create nightguards, prosthetics, and, of course, veneers. Plus, the entire process only takes a few minutes to complete!
Temporary Veneers
After the details of your treatment plan have been solidified, your teeth will be “prepped” for veneers. Since this requires some alteration to your enamel, you’ll be given a temporary set while your permanent ones are being crafted by the lab artisans. This allows you to “test drive” your new and improved smile for several weeks. If you’d like any minor changes made, your cosmetic dentist can certainly make the adjustments before bonding your permanent veneers in place.
Today, veneers are one of the most sought-after cosmetic dentistry treatments due to their lifelike appearance, ability to conceal several dental flaws simultaneously, and quick turnaround time. You can thank the latest dental technology for each of these! If you want to learn more about the process of transforming your smile with veneers, then don’t hesitate to ask your cosmetic dentist during your personal consultation.
