In 2 visits to Westhampton Dentistry, your imperfect smile can improve dramatically. Cover discolorations, uneven surfaces and hairline cracks with Richmond porcelain veneers. Crafted from fine, dental porcelain, these thin ceramic shells change the configuration and size of teeth and also improve their color, strength and alignment.<\/p>\n

Rescue your smile and your self-image<\/h3>\n

Richmond dentist, Dr. William W. Way<\/a>, knows people don\u2019t always come by a beautiful smile naturally. Even healthy teeth and gums can be unattractive. When imperfections are too complex for simple teeth whitening or cosmetic resin bonding, porcelain veneers from Westhampton Dentistry deliver brilliant smiles that are durable, too.<\/p>\n

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry lauds porcelain veneers, or dental laminates, as benefiting any healthy smile with difficult aesthetic defects. Permanent and irreversible, veneers require the removal of some enamel from the front of each tooth. This painless procedure shaves off\u00a0 a \u00bd mm slice of material to make room for the laminates. Impressions, photos and x-rays provide an outside dental lab with information to sculpt each veneer.<\/p>\n

Richmond porcelain veneers are not one-size-fits-all. Rather, the lab technician considers the patient\u2019s age, facial features, smile measurements and color to fabricate laminates that are aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting.<\/p>\n

Patients wear temporary veneers while permanent ones are made. During the next dental visit, Dr. Way bonds the veneers in place. He uses adhesive which creates a lasting bond and the perfect color match.\u00a0 Also, he adjusts bite for comfort and function.<\/p>\n

Living with porcelain veneers in Richmond<\/h3>\n

Caring for your porcelain veneers is easy. People\u00a0 brush their teeth daily with a soft-bristled brush and\u00a0 fluoride toothpaste. They floss between and around all teeth once a day. While dental laminates resist stains well, any cosmetic dentistry patient should avoid smoking and limit staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, wine, soy sauce and blueberries.<\/p>\n

To preserve veneers, patients avoid extra hard foods such as peanut brittle and ice. Of course, no one should open plastic packaging or bottles with their teeth whether or not they have veneers or other cosmetic or restorative improvements.<\/p>\n

By following these simple rules, porcelain veneers, and other cosmetic improvements, such as composite resin bonding<\/a>,\u00a0 last for many years. In the unlikely event that a porcelain veneer should chip or come off, save the pieces, and contact the office at Westhampton Dentistry for an appointment.<\/p>\n
