Veneers
Maintain Beautiful & Functioning Teeth
For those who have managed to sustain a healthy dental foundation, but are still not entirely satisfied with the appearance of their teeth, our aesthetically-driven cosmetic team at Woodmoor Family Dentistry is proud to offer veneers for the enhancement of your smile.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain custom-made to fit your teeth and are bonded to the tooth's original enamel over a series of office visits. Veneers can be a quick way to cover stained, chipped, and imperfect teeth, but it's important to know that the process of getting them is permanent. This is because enamel is removed from your natural teeth so the veneers will lay both in line with your gum tissue and flat, giving them a more natural appearance. The decision of using veneers is something you should discuss in detail with the dentist to decide whether or not they are right for you.
Do I Need Veneers?
As one of the leading cosmetic procedures asked for by patients nationwide, dental veneers address problematic factors that affect the teeth:
- Unavoidable genetic predisposition such as abnormal dental growth and positioning
- Inevitable signs of aging
- Worn-down enamel layer
- Yellowish tint on the surface
What Is the Process of Getting Dental Veneers?
Veneers are a great way to achieve the smile you've always dreamed of having; however, it is important to know that it does take multiple sessions. During your first appointment, Dr. Dethloff will examine your smile and use state-of-the-art technology to digitally design a beautiful smile for you. Next, he will begin to shape your teeth for the veneers and take an impression to send out for the creation of the veneers. Once your custom veneers are ready, you will return for a second appointment where the veneers are bonded to your teeth using cement and you'll leave with a new, pearly-white smile.
