Dental Veneers in Chicago With First Point Dental

Dental veneers are customized porcelain-based, wafer-thin shells that are bonded to the front visible surface of the teeth to hide the teeth’ imperfections and in turn, help create a whiter and more appealing smile. These are ideal cosmetic solutions offered at First Point Dental for people who feel embarrassed or self-conscious of their smile appearance. Moreover, they are like protective shells that can prevent further damage to the teeth and help you eat and speak with ease, comfort, and confidence.

Porcelain Veneers in Chicago offered at First Point Dental are custom-fabricated based on the patient’s natural teeth impressions. This means the patients can get a natural feel and look with porcelain veneers as they are contoured and colored to mimic the natural tooth enamel. They are non-porous and so can resist decay and staining better than natural teeth. With proper care and maintenance, these veneers can last for 10-15 years. Porcelain veneers can be used to fix the following easily-noticeable dental concerns:

· Chipped teeth
· Discolored or stained teeth
· Slightly misshapen teeth
· Small gaps in between front teeth.

The process of getting dental veneers is minimally-invasive than other procedures like dental crowns. Two dental visits are needed to get porcelain veneers. During the first dental appointment, the dentist makes space for porcelain veneers inside the mouth. The dentists have to prepare their natural front teeth by shaving ½ millimeters of tooth enamel from the front portion of the teeth surface.

If tooth enamel is not removed, porcelain veneers will make the teeth seem large and bulky. In addition, the impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory to create a pair of porcelain veneers that is specific to the oral structure of the patient. Meanwhile, the teeth are protected by temporary veneers. Once the final veneers are ready, the dentist ensures that the veneer’s color resembles the natural teeth’ enamel shade. Slight adjustments may be done to properly fit the veneers inside the mouth. At the end of this process, the porcelain veneers can help one achieve a beautiful, transformed smile!
