Veneers Can Transform Your Smile
Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells that cover the front surface of teeth and improve color, shape, and size. Veneers in O’Fallon are an excellent solution for patients with stained, chipped, or uneven teeth. Whether looking to fix one tooth or transform your smile, veneers provide a long-lasting and natural-looking result.
The Values of Veneers in O’Fallon
Choosing veneers offers a variety of benefits that make them an appealing option for many patients:
- Aesthetic Improvement: Veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of your teeth, creating a smooth, even surface that enhances the natural beauty of your smile.
- Durability: With proper care, veneers can last many years, making them a long-term solution for a bright, flawless smile.
- Minimal Tooth Alteration: Compared to crowns, veneers require less alteration to your natural teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Quick Results: Veneers provide instant improvement to the appearance of your teeth, often in just two visits.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers resist staining from common culprits like coffee, tea, and tobacco, keeping your smile bright for longer.
The Process: Veneers Overview
The process of getting veneers at Boardwalk Family Dental is straightforward and comfortable. Here’s what to expect:
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
During your initial consultation, Dr. Hurtte takes time to understand your goals for your smile. He thoroughly examines using state-of-the-art technology, including digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and CBCT scanning, to assess oral health and determine if veneers are the best option. These tools allow us to see every detail of your teeth, ensuring that we create a treatment plan that is both effective and personalized.
Comfort perks: Relax in our massage chairs, enjoy streaming services, or browse the internet with free Wi-Fi as Dr. Hurtte discusses your treatment options.
Step 2: Designing Your Veneers
Once you proceed with veneers, Dr. Hurtte will begin designing your custom ones. We use advanced CEREC and CAD/CAM technology to create digital impressions of your teeth, ensuring that your veneers fit perfectly and look natural. This technology allows us to design your veneers precisely, so they fit seamlessly into your smile.
Comfort perks: Enjoy a weighted blanket for added comfort, and we’ll offer you water and chapstick to keep you refreshed throughout the process.
Step 3: Preparing Your Teeth
In preparation for placing your veneers, Dr. Hurtte may remove a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to ensure the veneers fit properly and look natural. If you are unsure or nervous about the procedure, Dr. Hurtte can administer local anesthesia.
Step 4: Placing Your Veneers
On your next visit, Dr. Hurtte will place your veneers and ensure they fit comfortably and securely. The veneers are bonded to your teeth using a special dental adhesive to provide a long-lasting hold. Once your veneers are placed, Dr. Hurtte will make any necessary adjustments to ensure they look perfect.
Comfort perks: Relax with a massage chair throughout your visit, and take advantage of our TVs or streaming services to make your experience enjoyable.
