Rejuvenate Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Rejuvenate Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

If your teeth could use improvement from discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, or misalignment, porcelain veneers can transform all of the above. This cosmetic option is suitable for a large portion of patients, but to determine if veneers are appropriate for you, schedule a consultation at Drs. Joseph & Nina Zeigler's dental office in St. Louis, MO, to address your concerns and imperfections. Read on to learn more!

Rejuvenate Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Dental veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that match the shade of your natural teeth. Using a minimally invasive irreversible procedure, they cover enamel to correct a variety of dental issues mentioned above. They are highly stained resistant, which means that you can consume your cup of coffee without worry, and show off your smile with confidence. Porcelain veneers also boast protective qualities that can eliminate the need for further dental treatment in the future. Ideal candidates practice good oral hygiene habits, have sufficient tooth enamel, and several cosmetic issues you want to fix.

What to Expect From Treatment

Porcelain veneers typically take up to three visits to our St. Louis office to complete. These include diagnostic and treatment planning, tooth preparation, and bonding—in that order. To begin the procedure, your dentist will administer a local anesthetic to make you comfortable during preparation and placement. The tooth will be minimally reshaped with a small rotational device to ensure the best fit. Your dentist will then make a mold of your teeth before sending it to a laboratory where your permanent veneers are fabricated. During your third visit, they will cement them to the surface of the enamel.
