Everyone wants a picture-perfect smile they can show off proudly. If you weren’t born with such a smile, Dr. Nhu Le from Sioux City Family Dentistry can help you achieve your dream smile with cosmetic teeth veneers. For many people, a smile makeover with veneers is all they need to improve the quality and appearance of their teeth. Visiting your Sioux City, Iowa, dentist can help determine if veneers fit you well.
Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells customized to resemble your natural teeth. These shells are bonded over the surface of your teeth to conceal defects that detract from your smile’s appearance. In one treatment, veneers can correct a wide range of imperfections in your smile, ranging from chipped and stained teeth to tooth misalignments, uneven spaces between teeth, worn teeth, misshapen teeth, and irregularly sized teeth that make your smile appear unbalanced.
Veneers can be made from composite resin or porcelain material. Porcelain veneers resemble natural teeth more closely as porcelain material reflects light, just like real tooth enamel. Custom-fitted porcelain veneers will blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth to give your smile a polished, natural-looking appearance. With veneer treatment, Dr. Le can transform your defective smile into perfection and beauty without major alteration to your teeth. A small amount of enamel is removed to make space for the veneers – the rest of your tooth structure remains intact.
The following attributes of veneers make it the perfect smile makeover treatment:
Once bonded to your teeth, your dentist only makes porcelain veneers permanent and removable. Your smile will have a new flawless appearance, free of defects that make it look inferior. With good oral care, your smile can retain its beauty for 10 to 15 years, as that’s the average lifespan of porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are customized from impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. They’re designed to closely replicate the features of your real teeth so they can fit in naturally with your smile without anyone noticing the difference. Working with skilled cosmetic dentists like Dr. Le and our team will ensure astounding results.
Strength and durability are trademarks of porcelain veneers. In addition to enhancing your smile esthetically, veneer treatment will strengthen your teeth, making them less likely to chip or crack.
You care for veneered teeth the same way you care for all of your teeth—through daily brushing and flossing and keeping up with dental checkups and cleanings. For long-term protection against wear and tear, we recommend stopping chewing on ice, avoiding hard and sticky foods, and never using your teeth like tools.
