About Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin covers that stick to the teeth with an adhesive to hide gaps between teeth, chipped or stained teeth, or oddly shaped teeth. Veneers are a possible solution for those looking for a more ideal smile. At Hygge Laser Dentistry in Seattle, Dr. Gordon offers veneers as a cosmetic dentistry procedure with outstanding results!
Benefits of Veneers
BOOSTED CONFIDENCE
No matter the situation, nothing feels better than walking into a room knowing that your smile is guaranteed to make a great first impression.
SAVE TIME
Rather than addressing multiple imperfections with individual procedures, veneers can make several disappear simultaneously.
INSTANT ORTHODONTICS
Minor cases of crookedness and crowding can be fixed with veneers, meaning a patient can skip spending years in braces!
STRONGER TEETH
The high-quality porcelain of veneers reinforces the teeth and makes them less prone to chipping or breaking.
STAIN RESISTENT
While not impenetrable to staining, veneers are much less likely to stain than natural enamel due to exposure to drinks like coffee, wine, and soda, meaning your cosmetic enhancements may potentially preserve their effect even longer than alterations made to natural teeth.
DESIGNED FOR DURABILITY
Veneers can be trusted to last for about 10-15 years with just regular maintenance, which includes at-home oral hygiene and professional dental checkups twice a year.
Dental veneers from Hygge Laser Dentistry in Seattle are custom-fitted to the tooth for a perfectly natural appearance and dramatic results.
Process for Dental Veneers
PREPARING THE TEETH
The first step in applying veneers is making room for them. At Hygge Laser Dentistry, Dr. Gordon will remove a small layer of enamel from the front and sides of your teeth so that your new veneers still appear natural. Each veneer is individually created for each patient to give you a unique, vibrant smile in as little as two visits.
CUSTOM-FITTING AND PLACING THE VENEERS
To ensure your porcelain veneers are custom fitted, a mold of your teeth will be created and sent to a dental lab where your veneers are made just to fit your teeth. You may receive temporary veneers to wear until your personal veneers are created. When the custom-made veneers arrive, Dr. Gordon will place them on your teeth to ensure quality fitting, clean the teeth, and then bond the veneers to your teeth. Dr. Gordon may make other changes or adjustments at later appointments as needed.
Aftercare for Veneers
SIMPLE ORAL HYGIENE ROUTINES
There is no recovery process after your veneers are placed. Although durable and sturdy, veneers can chip, crack or break (similar to your natural teeth), so patients with dental veneers should be diligent about healthy oral hygiene and habits.
For best results, you will need to be sure to avoid chewing hard things, like ice, candies, or non-food items like pencils or fingernails. If you have any questions about how to care for your dental veneers, ask Dr. Gordon during your next appointment.
