While your smile is healthy, those dark stains and chipped front teeth hurt your self-confidence. A friend has told you about porcelain veneers from Collier dentist,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.holcombdds.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\"> Dr. Joshua A. Holcomb<\/a>. Could they be the cosmetic refurbishment you need for a dazzling new look? Find out about veneers and if you qualify for them at a cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. Holcomb.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Just What are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yoursmilebecomesyou.com\/procedures\/porcelain-veneers\/\">Porcelain veneers <\/a>are one of today\u2019s most popular cosmetic dental services. Individually crafted from translucent, dental grade ceramic, veneers are very thin, tooth-shaped laminates. Your Colliersville dentist bonds them to the front side of teeth marred by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deep stains<\/li>\n<li>Chips<\/li>\n<li>Gaps<\/li>\n<li>Hairline cracks<\/li>\n<li>Mild overcrowding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In fact, veneers correct many defects that previously only braces could remedy. So, porcelain veneers often are called \u201cinstant orthodontics.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2>Who Can Receive Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>To receive porcelain veneers, your teeth and gums must be healthy&#8211;free from decay, extensive restorations and gum disease. Additionally, as a veneer patient, you must understand that these laminates are a permanent refurbishment because in order to place them, your dentist must remove a thin portion of tooth enamel&#8211;about \u00bd to 1 mm. This enamel reduction allows proper space within your mouth for the veneers to fit comfortably and function properly. Dr. Holcomb places temporary veneers until the permanent ones are crafted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Involved In The Treatment?<\/h2>\n<p>The treatment involves evaluation by oral examination and digital X-rays. Also, the dentist may take photographs and oral impressions to send to the dental lab where a skilled technician will construct a three-dimensional model of your teeth. From there, the technician crafts each veneer individually, ensuring size, shape and color are right for your smile and facial features.<\/p>\n<p>On your return visit, Dr. Holcomb will remove the temporary veneers and bond the permanent ones in place with a special adhesive. He may adjust the color of the adhesive as needed and do a final shaping and bite adjustment.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2>What Is It Like To Have Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, you\u2019ll be pleased with how even, straight and defect-free your smile looks. Regarding caring for your porcelain veneers, just brush twice a day with a soft brush and floss daily as you normally would. See Dr. Holcomb for your semi-annual check-up and cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, treat your veneers&#8211;and all your teeth&#8211;gently. Don\u2019t chew hard foods such as ice or peanut brittle. Wear a mouthguard if you play sports or are a habitual teeth grinder. And, avoid smoking and staining foods and beverages because while veneers are very stain resistant, they may discolor a bit over time if not well cared for. Overall, your veneers should remain bright and beautiful for ten years or even more!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Find Out More<\/h2>\n<p>For more information on porcelain veneers and to see if they are right for you, please set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holcombdds.com\/contact-us.html\">cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. Holcomb<\/a>.
