Porcelain Veneers For A Perfect Smile
In order for porcelain veneers to be applied, the dental professional removes a
very tiny amount of the initial enamel from the tooth (less than a millimeter); the
reason for doing this is so that there is enough room for the veneer to fit and
allow the tooth to function in an efficient manner, and at the same time provide
the appearance of a healthier tooth. In order for the veneer to function properly,
there must be a strong bond between the original tooth enamel and the veneer.
When scheduling to have veneers added to your teeth, you will need several
dental impressions made in order that the dental specialist can ensure your
veneers look as perfect and real as possible. Once the impressions are
perfected, the specialist make a wax version of your veneers; this wax version,
called the “wax-up” is what will be placed on your teeth and you will wear until
the permanent ones are made.
Once these impressions are made; your dentist will help you decide on the
perfect shade the porcelain veneers will be. You will want the veneers to be
whiter than the surrounding teeth, but not too white that they appear unnatural.
Your dental professional will have a chart of colors that you can choose from to
make the porcelain veneers appear as natural as possible. Your new veneers
must match not only your skin tone; but also the surrounding teeth in your
mouth. The job of choosing the correct shade can be a difficult; one shade off
can totally throw off the entire look you are trying to achieve.
