Does it hurt when a West Ashley dentist puts veneers on teeth?
Veneers are commonly used in general and cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Greenberg, of the West Ashley area is a dentist who provides patients with veneers on teeth whenever necessary. Made of porcelain, veneers are often used to cover up teeth with imperfections. Teeth that are crooked, discolored, or unusually shaped may benefit from the placement of veneers. Sometimes these teeth can detract from the overall look of the smile, and can stand out as a negative aspect. Patients who want to address them can use veneers to achieve a more beautiful smile.
Many patients are unaware of the process of receiving veneers. They often ask their dentist if the placement of the veneers hurt. Thankfully, patients can enjoy a pain free process. Though some of the enamel of a tooth may need to be removed to prepare the tooth for placement, this is done under local anesthetics. Patients who are extremely nervous about visiting their dentist may also benefit from sedation to put them at ease and help them relax.
Once Dr. Greenberg removes a portion of the enamel from the tooth, he takes an impression-also called a mold-of the tooth. This mold is used to create a veneer that fits the tooth precisely. Using strong, quality porcelain, the veneer is fabricated at an outside laboratory and then sent to the dentist for placement. Patients can enjoy their brand new smile in just a few weeks from the first appointment to the last appointment, when their final veneers are placed.
When patients take proper care of their veneers, they can extend their lifespan. Patients with veneers are encouraged to avoid chewing on hard foods and objects, and to visit their dentist regularly for examinations to ensure the mouth is healthy. This guarantees a healthy, beautiful smile and will help these restorations last for years.
