What are veneers?
Veneers are tooth-shaped coverings permanently bonded to the front of your teeth. They’re made from porcelain, which matches the appearance of tooth enamel. As a result, your veneers look just like natural teeth.
The purpose of veneers is to mask cosmetic imperfections and enhance the aesthetic appearance of your smile. They’re a popular dental service due to the quick, easy, and minimally invasive procedure used to place them.
How can veneers improve my smile?
By covering the entire front side of your teeth, veneers enable you to redesign the look of your smile and address cosmetic concerns like:
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Stains that don’t respond to professional whitening treatments
- Teeth that are too large or too small
- Widely spaced teeth
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Misshapen teeth
Dr. Kramer can also use veneers to make your smile more symmetrical. By improving the aesthetics of your smile, veneers boost your self-esteem and give you more confidence in your appearance.
What is the process for getting veneers?
When you get veneers at Dr. Mark Kramer, DDS, you start the process with a consultation.
You and Dr. Kramer spend time talking about the aspects of your smile you like and the parts you think could be improved. Some people even bring in pictures of smiles they admire to help Dr. Kramer visualize what they’re looking for.
Dr. Kramer is an expert in smile aesthetics and will make sure to design your veneers to enhance your smile while still appearing natural with your facial features.
Next, Dr. Kramer prepares your teeth by removing a very thin layer of enamel. He takes an impression and sends it to a trusted dental lab that fabricates your veneers.
You wear a set of temporary veneers until your next appointment when Dr. Kramer permanently bonds the finished veneers to your teeth.
How do I care for my veneers?
The beauty of veneers is that they don’t require special care. You keep them clean and healthy with the same methods you use for your natural teeth: brushing and flossing daily and maintaining routine exams and dental cleanings with Dr. Kramer.
