Bridgeport Dentists also provide veneers. Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure because they look great and last along time. Veneers, or tooth veneers, are durable and lifelike and made from porcelain or plastic and help improve or correct teeth color and shape problems. Bridgeport Dentists recommends veneers for patients needing to straighten misaligned teeth or brighten their smile.
Veneers are very thin and bonded onto the front teeth. They cover crooked, chipped or unevenly spaced teeth or teeth that are too small, big or too far apart. They also cover teeth that are discolored, have small holes, or have an uneven finish.
Veneers also cover teeth discoloration, which is caused by staining, aging and chemical damage. Stains can be caused by coffee, red wine, cigarettes, medication and soda, but genetics and disease play a role in teeth color too. So, please inform Bridgeport Dentists if teeth discoloration is due to medical reason.
Bridgeport Dentists think veneers have several advantages:
· They don’t require as much tooth reduction
· The dark lines that can occur with older caps never show up with
veneers
· They transmit light better, enabling a more aesthetic and realistic
appearance
The Bridgeport Dentists Veneer Process:
· On the first visit, Bridgeport Dentists will discuss your needs and preferences. Minor contouring, buffering and adjusting will be performed to the teeth. A tooth impression will be made and sent to a lab, which usually takes about one or two weeks to make the veneers from the impression. Between the first and second visit, a Bridgeport Dentist patient may experience sensitivity to cold and hot, and perhaps minor discomfort because of the teeth adjustments, but Bridgeport Dentists does offer temporary veneers.
· On the second visit, Bridgeport Dentists will attach the new veneers
with water or glycerin. Bridgeport Dentists clean the veneers and permanently
seal them with a white light. Once on, the veneers are secure and durable
and resistant to daily wear and tear.
