You might be a candidate for porcelain veneers in Waterbury. You can significantly improve the color, size, shape, and proportion of your teeth using one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterburysmiles.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">minimally invasive treatment<\/a>. Even if you have alignment issues or existing dental work, you might still be a candidate for veneers. Here\u2019s what you need to know to determine if porcelain veneers are right for you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A porcelain veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front\nsurface of a tooth to hide cosmetic concerns. You might picture a\nChicklet-looking smile; however, veneers have undergone several improvements during\nrecent years. Now, they are thinner than ever to blend in with your teeth while\nalso making the treatment less invasive. Since they are made of porcelain, they\nclosely mimic your enamel to look natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Issues Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are versatile. As a result, they can be used to\nresolve several imperfections using one treatment, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dark tooth discoloration or stains.<\/li><li>Chipped or cracked teeth.<\/li><li>Shorter than average teeth.<\/li><li>Abnormally shaped teeth<\/li><li>Small gaps.<\/li><li>Minor alignment concerns.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will I Need to Get Braces First?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, sometimes veneers can be used as an\nalternative to braces. Depending on your alignment concerns, veneers can close\ngaps or make your teeth look straighter in as few as two appointments. You\nwon\u2019t need to spend months wearing braces to get a straight smile; however,\nthere are limitations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your alignment concerns are extensive, or you have\ncertain bite issues, you might need to have braces first. Your cosmetic dentist\nin Waterbury will perform a consultation to determine if you\u2019ll need to get\nbraces or if veneers can be used to give you the results you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If I Have Existing Dental Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although every case differs, many patients who have existing\ndental work can get veneers. If you have crowns, dental implants, or other\nrestorations, we recommend you have your veneers placed at the same time. This\nhelps to ensure the veneers match your restorations for flawless results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will perform an extensive consultation of your\noral health, including any restorations, to determine if veneers are the right\nchoice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the Smile of Your Dreams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to invest in your confidence, take the first\nstep to see if porcelain veneers are right for you. With a personalized\ntreatment plan, you can achieve the smile of your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Waterbury Smiles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterburysmiles.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Marini and\nDr. Mancini<\/a> are committed to helping our patients achieve their best\nsmiles.
