Treatment for teeth gaps, misalignment, and staining using porcelain veneers

While some are born with naturally beautiful smiles, others are not. Aging, trauma, and years of poor oral health habits can impact the smile’s appearance. Fortunately, there is a way to improve your smile’s aesthetic appearance! At Alex Bell Dental of Centerville, Ohio, Dr. Daniel Cobb and his team may suggest the benefits of cosmetic porcelain veneers to provide coverage for imperfections that are affecting your smile.

What is a porcelain veneer?

Dr. Daniel Cobb describes the porcelain veneer as an esthetic treatment designed to disguise the imperfections of the smile. It is a small, thin facing that is fabricated to match the other teeth in the patient’s smile to ensure a natural restoration. These facings cover many imperfections, making them the perfect treatment for teeth gaps, misaligned teeth, chipped and cracked teeth, or permanently stained teeth.

Who is a good candidate for porcelain veneers?

During a consultation appointment at Alex Bell Dental, Dr. Daniel Cobb and his team will evaluate you to decide if you are a good fit for the fabrication and placement of porcelain veneers. The best patients for veneers are those who have healthy smiles free from both periodontal disease and tooth decay and those who are on a mission to enhance the appearance of their smile and improve their self-confidence.

What should I know about the process of obtaining porcelain veneers?

Preparations will start once patients have chosen to move forward with veneers to improve their smiles. Dr. Daniel Cobb files down the front of the tooth to remove part of the enamel and roughen the surface to ensure proper adhesion of the final porcelain veneer. Impressions are taken, which are then sent to a laboratory where a porcelain ceramist will fabricate the final restoration and mail it back to Alex Bell Dental. Patients return to the office about a week or two later to have their veneer bonded in place for the final restoration.
