Dental Veneers Madison WIWhen dental flaws such as misshapen, cracked, broken, or discolored teeth arise, and solutions like a dental crown are not necessary, then veneers may be utilized to fix these concerns. Veneers are not considered to be medically necessary. However, they are a big boost for one's smile appearance. They are mostly cosmetic treatments and can resolve many issues that would otherwise cause the appearance of your smile to lose its luster. At Madison Family Dental Associates, we want to re-establish that lost smile with quality veneers. If you are seeking dental veneers in Madison, our cosmetic dentistry services can help. What are Veneers?Dental veneers are custom-fabricated thin shells we utilize to cover the front surface of your teeth. These restorations are designed to upgrade the appearance of your smile by correcting cosmetic concerns like discolored, poorly shaped, or crooked teeth. Our dentists can also repair your teeth with veneers if they have uneven spaces or gaps or are chipped. What to Expect During Veneers PlacementPatients need to receive a comprehensive evaluation to establish their suitability for veneers in Madison. We take x-rays, 3D facial scans, and intraoral scans to allow us to assess important factors like your oral health, the structure of a tooth, and the enamel condition. Our dentists want to make sure that you do not have concerns that could impact the veneer placement process and their longevity. Additionally, we screen our patients by interviewing them to understand their dental hygiene practices, habits, and lifestyle. From the details we gather, we can offer individualized recommendations and see that the treatment plan lines up with the specific needs and goals of the patient. The veneer process involves two separate steps. First, our dentist takes impressions and places provisional veneers. The dentist shapes the teeth and gets the impressions for fabricating the restorations. If extensive reshaping is required, then a patient may be administered an anesthetic and receive a temporary veneer while the permanent piece is being crafted. The next visit involves taking out the provisional restoration and mounting the final veneers. At this point, our cosmetic dentists verify the color, shape, and fit of the veneers to see that they are okay. After confirming these elements, our dentists can permanently adhere your veneers to the teeth. You will now have a new beautiful smile you can enjoy. Caring for VeneersYou must brush and floss daily, making sure that you do not pull the veneer up, particularly when flossing. Until the veneers have firmly adhered to the tooth surface, avoid hard and sticky foods, like nuts, hard candy, and ice, since they can damage the restorations or adhere to the veneer surfaces. Further, avoid too much coffee because it may stain the veneers. Smoking is also not good because it can stain the restorations. Make sure you schedule routine dental checkups to have your veneers inspected to see if they are functioning properly and are causing no dental issues that threaten your oral health or the lifespan of the veneers. You can expect your veneers to serve you for about seven to 10 years without needing replacement, but only with proper aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions Do Dental Veneers Look Natural? Dental veneers are designed to look natural. They are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile. The materials used, typically porcelain or composite resin, mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. Can Dental Veneers be Whitened? No, dental veneers cannot be whitened. The material used in veneers is stain-resistant but does not respond to whitening treatments. If you are considering veneers, it is advisable to whiten your natural teeth to your desired shade before getting veneers, so they match your brightened smile. |
