When a West Ashley dentist places porcelain veneers, does it hurt?
Cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers are becoming increasingly popular for patients of all ages. When aesthetic concerns plague a smile, patients turn to cosmetic dentists such as Dr. Greenberg to determine the best solutions for improving the appearance of their teeth. The team at Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA finds that many West Ashley area patients enjoy the benefits of porcelain veneers provided by a dentist who is committed to the enhancement of the natural smile.
Porcelain veneers are made from thin pieces of porcelain. They are custom-made for the patient’s smile and are created to disguise cosmetic flaws in natural teeth. This can include misalignment, unusual shapes, permanent staining, and breakage. A special bonding material is used to place veneers over the front of natural teeth to make a subtle or dramatic change to the smile, dependent on the dental concern.
Many patients are afraid that the placement of veneers will hurt. Fortunately, the entire process is comfortable. Patients start out by consulting
Dr. Greenberg to determine their candidacy for treatment. The best patients are those who have good oral health habits, are free from periodontal disease, and who are ready to improve the appearance of their smile.
During the first appointment, patients will have their natural teeth prepared. This may include the removal of some enamel to ensure a tight fit of the veneers over the front of the teeth. Then, impressions are taken. These are sent to an outside laboratory for creation of the veneers, which can take approximately one to two weeks. Patients visit the dentist again for the placement of the veneers, which is a quick and painless procedure.
