Dental porcelain does not absorb stains but costs more than composite resin. A veneer is securely bonded onto the front surface of a prepared tooth, where it remakes its size, shape, color, and overall appearance. Veneers are highly customizable and designed to blend in well with the rest of the natural teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental veneers can solve a variety of cosmetic imperfections, including\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chipped teeth <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stained teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slightly gapped or misaligned teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misshapen teeth (like too pointy or short) <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chalky teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Are Veneers Placed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To place veneers, your dentist will first remove a bit of tooth enamel from the front of each tooth. This preparation helps make room for the veneers to lie flat against the surrounding natural teeth. Because you will always need something covering up the teeth after enamel has been removed, veneers are considered an irreversible treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the teeth are ready, an impression or mold is taken. This impression is sent along with your treatment plan to the laboratory that will manufacture the veneers. We\u2019ll apply temporary veneers to your prepared teeth and plan on a time for you to come back to receive your permanent restorations, usually about a week later. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the second visit, your veneers have been manufactured and are ready for placement. Your dentist will remove the temporary veneers and check the fit, feel, and function of the new ones. We can make any final adjustments at this point before each veneer is securely bonded to the surface of the teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After we have finished, we\u2019ll hand you a mirror and give you the first look at your new, beautiful smile! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Long Do Veneers Last?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With proper care and maintenance, dental veneers can last for many years. Veneers made of porcelain may last longer than composite resin. Protect your veneers with a customized <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mouthhealthy.org\/en\/az-topics\/m\/mouthguards\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mouthguard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports. Make sure you continue to brush and floss your teeth to prevent cavities and gum disease. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most veneers last for more than a decade. If you notice a veneer becoming loose or if one breaks, visit your dentist immediately. Veneers usually cannot be repaired, but placing a new veneer is as simple as the initial procedure. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s Get Started on Your Best Smile!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are ready to reveal your most beautiful grin, it could be the perfect time for porcelain veneers in Annapolis.
