Dental Veneers

    PHOENIX, AZ, November 22, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many people have minor issues about their teeth that reduce their self-confidence. Discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps between the teeth, or slight misalignment can make you uncomfortable enough to keep you from smiling. Not only can this cause you embarrassment and self-consciousness, it can even affect your interaction with other people and have a detrimental effect on your personal life and your career.

Fortunately, there are many ways to help improve the look of your smile and easily correct minor defects that you find upsetting. Dental veneers provide one of these solutions.

Easily applied and less expensive than many other cosmetic dentistry options, dental veneers can correct:

• Slight misalignment
• Small gaps between the teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Cracks in the teeth
• Severe discoloration that does not respond to whitening treatments

Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells that, when applied by a qualified cosmetic dentist, form a strong bond with your teeth and create a color-matched, natural-looking surface. Because porcelain is partially translucent, it mimics the normal light refraction properties of natural enamel, giving your teeth exactly the right "shine."

Dental Veneers Procedure
Veneers are also relatively easy to apply. A very thin layer of enamel must be removed from the tooth surface, then the dentist takes a mold of your teeth. This mold is sent to a lab where your veneers are carefully constructed exactly to your dentist's specifications. While you're waiting for the custom veneers, temporary veneers are applied.

When the permanent veneers are ready, your temporaries are removed and the dentist applies your veneers with a special bonding agent that permanently affixes them to your teeth. Your smile will be instantly transformed with this minimally invasive procedure.

For the best results in dental veneers, be sure to consult with a qualified cosmetic dentist who's had experience with porcelain veneers. Check the dentist's website for before and after pictures of previous veneer procedures, as well as for any information on the dentist's training and education.
