Porcelain Veneers
Have you ever wondered how that movie star or model has such perfect teeth? Were they born with it? Chances are slim. What is more likely is that he or she has discovered veeners.
Veneers (often called lumineers) are very small, thin pieces of porcelain that are crafted in a dental laboratory to fit over your existing front teeth. Once bonded in place in our Indianapolis dentist office, these porcelain veneers make your smile look whiter, healthier, and straighter. The perfect smile that lumineers create is not reserved for celebrities alone. You, too, may qualify for this relatively easy and painless cosmetic dentistry service.
Reasons you may want to pursue veneers include one or more of the following dental concerns:
- Stained or dark teeth
- A chipped or broken tooth
- Crooked teeth
- Gap in between teeth
- One or more small or misshapen teeth
- Teeth that appear worn
After you and one of our cosmetic dentists agree that porcelain veneers are the right solution to your dental needs, we can place your lumineers in our Indianapolis dental office usually in two appointments. During the first visit, our cosmetic dentist will prepare your teeth for your lumineers by lightly buffing or shaving down each tooth. Then, we will take a mold of your teeth and help you choose a tooth-colored shade for your veneers.
When you return to our Indianapolis office for your second appointment, we will thoroughly clean your teeth’s surface, place a thin coat of bonding cement in between your tooth and the dental veneers, and then precisely position the veneers for a perfect fit. To ensure a durable bond for your lumineers, we will then cure the bonding materials using a special light beam.
Before you leave Ley Dentistry of Indianapolis, our cosmetic dentistry staff will thoroughly teach you how to properly clean and care for your lumineers so you can keep them looking beautiful longer. Even though you have porcelain veneers you must still keep them clean like your natural teeth; they can give you a brilliant smile for many years if you follow our care instructions.
