Veneers are a key part of a complete smile makeover -- especially when other treatments like braces or tooth whitening won't help your case. No matter your cosmetic problem, there’s a good chance that veneers can fix it. Here are a few of the most attractive advantages of getting veneers at the office of Dr. James Lewis in New Port Richey, FL.
Covers Up Even the Worst Imperfections
The great thing about veneers is that they can cover up a wide array of dental problems. When you smile, only the front side of your front teeth are visible and that is where the veneers are bonded. Here are a few common issues that may call for veneers:
- Broken or chipped teeth.
- Teeth that are too small, causing gaps.
- Intrinsic staining (at the inner layers of the tooth) that can’t be bleached.
- Protruding or crowded teeth.
A Relatively Fast Procedure
After just two appointments at Dr. Lewis' New Port Richey office, you can go home with a new smile thanks to veneers. At the first appointment, the dentist will remove a small amount of tooth enamel, then take a mold of your teeth. That mold will allow a technician to create custom veneers. At the next appointment, the dentist will use a strong bonding agent to attach the veneers to your teeth, then contour and polish them to perfection. You’ll be amazed by how dramatically your smile has changed when you look in the mirror at the end of your appointment.
A Beautiful Smile for 20 Plus Years
After the veneers have been installed you'll have a beautiful smile for up to 20 years. The length of time they will last depends on your commitment to dental and oral health. Keep your veneers clean and free from debris. Also, floss thoroughly every day to reduce the chance of gingivitis or periodontitis—gum disease puts the tooth and the bonded veneer at risk.
Take the First Step
It's time to take the first step toward having a smile that you can feel good about. Call New Port Richey, FL, dentist, Dr. Lewis, at (727) 372-7887 today to talk about dental veneers.
