Thankfully, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elwoodavenuedental.com\/veneers.html\">veneers<\/a> from your dentist can be an excellent way to address even extensive dental imperfections by resculpting your smile into a gorgeous new state. Here\u2019s a quick look at how veneers work, how they are placed, and what they feel like when worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers are thin ceramic shells designed to be cemented to teeth that have been modified to receive them. These devices emulate the color and luster of healthy natural enamel and can address multiple or extensive dental defects such as tooth damage, staining, or simply being oddly shape. Each set of veneers is completely customized based on detailed digital measurements of the patient\u2019s bite alignment as well as their personal preferences for how they want their smile to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Are Veneers Placed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers are placed through a specialized process that typically takes two appointments. They usually go like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>During the first appointment<\/strong>, your dentist will administer an appropriate anesthetic to ensure your comfort before removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth being treated. After taking digital bite impressions, your oral health provider will fit you with temporary veneers and send you on your way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>During the second appointment<\/strong> that usually takes place about two weeks later, your dentist will remove your temporary appliances, fix your customized veneers in place, and make any final adjustments. You\u2019ll then be ready to show off your gorgeous new smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do Veneers Feel Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers should feel remarkably similar to natural dental structure after you get used to wearing them, and you may eventually find you rarely notice you are wearing the appliances at all. While you may notice a slight different in texture when you run your tongue along the edges of your teeth, your appliances should be virtually indistinguishable from your natural pearly whites other than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t let extensive dental defects make it difficult to smile proudly. Consulting with your dentist can help you understand how to achieve the grin of your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elwood Avenue Dental offers the finest oral healthcare in Jenks.
