If you have been
considering Porcelain Veneers, talk to your dentist about minimally invasive
Dental Veneers.
Colgate explains that having a less than
appealing smile not only affects the way you act around people, but can also
have a dramatic affect on your self-esteem. However, sometimes you can be
unsure about what cosmetic dental procedures are best for you.
Thankfully, there are
several options when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, including minimally
invasive Porcelain Veneers.
Talk to your dentist
about minimally invasive Porcelain Veneers if you would like to leave as much
of your tooth structure as possible. Minimally invasive Porcelain veneers have
been designed to cover just the surface of your teeth and are very thin.
One of the biggest
advantages of minimally invasive Porcelain Veneers is that you are able to
conserve or keep the enamel on the tooth or teeth that are being prepared. In
fact, that is one of the biggest reasons that people opt for these types of
Porcelain Veneers.
Traditional Porcelain Veneers require anesthetic to remove about ½ mm of the tooth’s enamel. Because
not everyone is suitable for minimally invasive Porcelain Veneers, it is
important that you discuss possible treatments with your dentist, especially if
you are considering traditional Dental Veneers, as traditional veneers are
permanent and not reversible.
Your dentist will tell you that because of all of the different cosmetic and restorative dental procedures
available, it is vital that you schedule a comprehensive clinical examination,
including an esthetic evaluation to determine what types of cosmetic dental
procedures, including minimally invasive Porcelain Veneers, are best for you.
Porcelain Veneers are
used to mask tooth discolorations, minor misalignment issues, and tooth
reshaping; however, there are some misconceptions when it comes to minimally
invasive Porcelain Veneers.
Those misconceptions
include:
- Minimally invasive Porcelain Veneers will make your teeth appear too long or too big. In most patients, some tooth reshaping is needed to allow your smile to look better than the one you started with.
- Minimally invasive Porcelain Veneers can cause gum disease. A good cosmetic dentist will make sure to finish and polish the edges of your teeth in order to avoid ledges.
- Your teeth will be sensitive after minimally invasive Porcelain Veneers. Because the tooth enamel is retained, tooth sensitivity is rare.
