Similar to traditional veneers, the minimal preparation alternatives are adhesively bonded to the front surface of your teeth to give you a perfectly aligned, white smile. With the translucent quality of ceramic materials available today, dental veneers can provide you with a completely natural look. The procedure is so easy and simple that no one will even know you went in for a procedure; it is a natural change that can last for many years with proper care. Getting Your Veneers During the placement of your veneers your dentist will first prepare your teeth for the application. A small part of your natural tooth structure may be removed in order for the veneer to accommodate your tooth. It is a simple procedure in which the veneer will simply cover the teeth you are discomforted by. Veneers can cover a wide range of dental blemishes to help you achieve the flawless smile you have always dreamed of. Listed are a few reasons you may consider dental veneers: • Natural wear and tear - As you grow older, your teeth will naturally wear down just like your shoes as you wear them.
• Crooked Teeth - Your teeth can naturally be crooked or can become crooked over time with age. Crooked teeth can be treated using braces or Invisalign, but with veneers you can get an instant straighter smile.
• Accidental damage - A common problem is that you can chip or damage your teeth due to trauma involved in sports.
• Damaged teeth - Your teeth can naturally fade and look discolored or stained with age or as a result of certain medications. As soon as your teeth are prepared, an impression of your teeth will be taken using a special alginate that is then sent off to a dental laboratory to fabricate your veneers. Once your new veneers are created, your dentist will place and adjust them to give the perfect look before they are permanently placed onto the surface of your teeth. Lumineers: Provide Minimal Preparation
Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers applied by your Katy dentist are a safer and less invasive way to transform the most flawed smile. One of the main differences between Lumineers and traditional veneers is that there are no shots or drilling of sensitive tooth structure required with Lumineers. Lumineers are ultra-thin so that they can be applied seamlessly over your existing teeth in two easy visits to your Katy dentist. They are custom designed to give you a beautiful smile that you have always wanted without the pain. Unlike traditional veneers, Lumineers are even reversible. After your procedure you may experience soreness around your gums and potentially some temporary sensitivity around your teeth that will disappear quickly. Should you experience any discomfort after the procedure you should discuss this with your dentist immediately. As veneers are new coverings for your own teeth, it may take a while for you to adjust to the difference. In only two easy visits, you can have a permanently beautiful smile without shots, drilling, or pain. A consultation with your Katy dentist can help in deciding if the treatment of Lumineers is a good alternative for your smile. Take the next step to a healthier looking smile with a trip to your Katy, TX dentist.
