Alleviating a flawed
smile is easier today than it was in the past, partly
due to the restoring process of veneers. Cosmetic
veneers, in short, are thin porcelain or resin composite
shells that are professionally bonded to your teeth
to improve appearance and vitality of your smile.
Veneers
serve as a cosmetic tool to fix discolored, chipped,
worn down, misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped
teeth, and have become a popular procedure among
dentists in the Flint area. Certified dentists like
Bobby Grossi of Gateway Dental will create a model
of your teeth based on impressions, x-rays and photographs,
leaving every set of veneers custom to each patient’s
smile.
In
preparation for veneers, dentists will trim and
reshape the enamel of your natural teeth to provide
the necessary room for a close fit. In some cases,
usually depending on the amount of removed tooth
structure for the proper placement, dentists will
place temporary veneers on the teeth being worked
on to reduce any unwanted attention until your next
visit.
When
you come back, prepping and bonding will complete
the process. After a thorough cleaning and polish,
a bonding adhesive is applied to your teeth underneath
the veneers and hardened with a high-intensity light
that’s harmless to the patient and vastly
effective to the procedure. Within just a few visits
to the dentist chair, you can obtain the beautiful
smile you’ve always wanted |
| But
how much do veneers cost?
Essentially, the cost of veneers varies from dentist
to dentist and the desires and expectations of the
patient. On average, veneers start at around $950
and can usually be paid for though installments.
Cosmetic veneers last up to 20 years.
Because
your smile is oftentimes the first impressionable
feature, veneers have proven to heighten confidence
and self-assurance in many individuals struggling
with decaying, crooked or even spaced out teeth.
