If you’re missing teeth, there are a number of different tooth replacement options, but dental implants are considered the gold standard, since they mimic your natural teeth the closest. Keep reading to learn more.
Do your discolored, misshapen, or crooked teeth make smiling an embarrassment?
Tea, coffee, soda, or red wine can make your teeth yellow, brown, or gray with constant exposure over time. If you skipped braces as a kid, your teeth can be crooked or have an unsightly gap between them.
Veneers can give you a smile you’re proud to flash. Dr. Kiran Rapal is a veneer expert who can give you a picture-perfect smile. Here are five reasons to consider veneers.
Dental veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells that are affixed to the front side of your teeth. When you decide to get veneers, Dr. Rapal will take images of the teeth that will receive the veneers. She’ll remove a very thin enamel layer to prepare the tooth for the veneer, then bond the veneer to your tooth with a special adhesive.
Here’s how veneers can transform your look and smile.
Discolored teeth can be the first thing people notice about you. During your appointment, Dr. Rapal skims the top layer of the teeth and affixes white, bright, beautiful veneers to give you a pristine smile. If you have only one or two discolored teeth, Dr. Rapal can apply a veneer that matches your surrounding teeth, so no one can tell you have a veneer.
Veneers can do more than just make your smile gorgeous. The porcelain or resin shells can strengthen your teeth.
Veneers can fix a cracked or damaged tooth faster and easier than a crown or implant. Of course, a veneer may not be able to cure every type of crack. But a veneer might be an alternative to more invasive solutions.
When your smile is gorgeous, and you have the Hollywood grin you’ve always wanted, your self-confidence is bound to zoom.
If you’d like to know if veneers are right for you, schedule an appointment by calling Dr. Rapal’s office at (408) 864-7010, or by using our online booking tool.
