Dental veneers make it possible to change the look of your smile subtly or dramatically. These thin sheets of material can disguise a number of imperfections, including breaks and chips, gaps and discoloration, and more. If a single tooth is the problem, a veneer can bring the smile back into harmony. If a smile makeover is desired, multiple teeth may be veneered for a naturally beautiful appearance.
The fact that the veneer process in general can wonderfully enhance the look of the smile does not necessarily mean that any dental veneer will produce the same result. Dr. Christopher Lim, trained and experienced in smile restoration and cosmetic dentistry, understands that the quality of materials and the design process of veneers are vital to the best possible results. We work with precision and use a quality dental laboratory, which consistently produces beautiful restorations.
Porcelain veneers achieve the most natural effects due to this material’s similarity to tooth enamel. Not only does porcelain shine like natural teeth, but this material also has the right amount of translucency to prevent the “fake” look that many patients fear. After the teeth are prepared, impressions are taken. Necessary information is sent to the dental lab, where veneers will be made to our precise specifications.
When final veneer restorations are sent to our office, they are assessed for fit, size, color, and other factors before they are bonded into place. The bonding process achieves durability that can last for many years with good habits. Caring for veneers is very simple, consisting of good oral hygiene and regular dental care to ensure no decay develops around the restorations.
Your smile has looked beautifully natural since your first teeth appeared. Cosmetic dentistry should not alter the natural characteristics you expect to see when you look in the mirror. Dr. Christopher Lim performs veneer treatment with an artistic ability that achieves results his patients love. To begin your smile transformation, call (702) 666-8584.
