Hello, and welcome to our Advanced Dentistry of Charlotte – Dr. Christopher A. Bowman cosmetic dentistry blog. Today we are taking the time to answer a common question that many dental patients have. The question is, “What exactly are veneers and how are they used in cosmetic dentistry?”
Information about Porcelain Veneers in Charlotte
Veneers in Charlotte are thin shells made from durable, translucent porcelain or composite resin. They are custom-made for each patient in a lab and are used to improve the appearance of your smile. Unlike a dental crown which covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, a veneer covers just the front part of the tooth. They are commonly used to correct teeth that have been chipped, stained, decayed, or that are slightly crooked.
If you visit your dentist for veneers in Charlotte, he or she will first make an impression of your teeth. Next, a dental technician will use the model to make the veneers, so you can be sure of a custom fit. A small layer of enamel on the tooth has to be removed so the veneer can be attached. This procedure is usually irreversible.
