COSMETIC DENTISTRY
This can be anything done to correct imperfections in the appearance of the mouth. Anyone who is unhappy with their smile can have it fixed. The upper teeth show, usually, only when smiling, while the lower teeth remain more hidden. This is reversed when talking, with the upper teeth remaining hidden while the lower teeth show. The color, alignment, and spacing of the teeth are the characteristics that give the overall appearance. Any of these can be repaired to give a stunning look to the mouth. |
1. Composite Veneers: This method is usually referred to as bonding. Bonding is less expensive and is done in one visit. They have the look of natural tooth and are matched to your existing tooth color, but will not be as durable as porcelain veneers. 2. Porcelain Veneers: These look more like natural teeth and will last much longer than composite veneers because they are made at a laboratory out of porcelain or pressed ceramic. They require two visits. At the first appointment the teeth are prepared, impressions taken, and the teeth are given a temporary covering. In three to four weeks the veneers are back from the laboratory, the temporaries are removed and the veneers are bonded to the teeth.
