Veneers in Raleigh, NC
Veneers offer a versatile cosmetic solution to enhance the appearance of teeth and address various imperfections. Veneers can effectively fix discolored or stained teeth, correct small imperfections such as chips or misshapen teeth, and even straighten slightly misaligned teeth, providing patients with a comprehensive cosmetic solution.
At Drs. Tropmann and Oyster's dental practice, we specialize in using E-max (lithium disilicate), a highly aesthetic ceramic material, to create custom-designed veneers that seamlessly blend with natural teeth.
Treatment Process
- Initial Consult: We begin with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and assess your suitability for veneers.
- Customization: Custom shade selection ensures that the veneers match your natural teeth seamlessly.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth surface is prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the veneer.
- Impression and Bonding: An impression or scan is taken to create custom veneers, which are then bonded to the teeth using dental cement during a subsequent appointment.
- Follow-up: We schedule follow-up appointments to ensure the veneers are properly integrated and functioning as intended.
Caring for Your Veneers
- Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups is essential for the longevity of veneers.
- Lifestyle Considerations: Patients are advised to reduce smoking and alcohol consumption, as these habits can stain veneers over time. Additionally, avoiding habits like clenching, grinding, or chewing hard foods can help prevent damage to the veneers.
With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last at least ten years or longer, providing patients with long-lasting aesthetic benefits and improved confidence in their smiles. Regular dental visits at our Raleigh dental office allow us to monitor the condition of the veneers and address any issues promptly, ensuring continued satisfaction with the results.
