The look of your teeth influences how often you smile. If you’re unhappy about the appearance of your smile, you may avoid showing your teeth altogether. A lack of confidence in your appearance tends to lead to misperceptions, and to others viewing you as shy, timid, or even unfriendly. Showing your true self is made easier in Charlottesville through the placement of porcelain veneers, carefully designed by Dr. Olivia Hart and her team at Virginia Biological Dentistry.
Dental veneers can be used individually or as a part of a smile makeover to cover the outer surface of your teeth, masking an array of cosmetic issues. The process is simple, taking only two office visits to achieve results that last several years. Though there are various materials from which veneers may be crafted, Dr. Hart prefers porcelain for its natural characteristics. With porcelain veneers bonded to a tooth or teeth, the smile is perfectly enhanced and appears completely natural. This material won’t stain or decay and reflects light just like natural tooth enamel.
Porcelain veneers can improve the smile by covering issues like:
Excessive space between teeth can be quite bothersome. Whether formed early in life, during the developmental stage, or due to a shift in alignment, gaps are a cosmetic problem effectively solved with porcelain veneers.
Though enamel is quite strong, it is porous and susceptible to damage. Enamel can become worn over time due to the effects of some abrasive foods, daily use, and the aging process, among other factors. Worn and discolored tooth enamel that doesn’t respond to professional bleaching gets a vibrant boost with porcelain veneers.
Weakened teeth are more prone to chips or cracks. Normal wear and tear also leads to proportion issues. Porcelain veneers can restore an attractive shape and overall attractive smile line by recreating suitable proportions.
Modern dentistry offers a number of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic treatments to enhance the smile. New patients receive oral cancer screenings, and each of our patients benefits from regular, biological dental care.
