Ready to revamp your smile? Find out how dental veneers can help.

There are times in many people’s lives that they realize they would like to give their smile a makeover. Maybe there isn’t anything seriously wrong with their smile, but little flaws keep them from having their dream smile. If this is your problem, then it’s time to talk to your Lynchburg, VA cosmetic dentist Dr. Kevin Midkiff to find out if dental veneers are right for you.

What are dental veneers?

You may have already heard about dental veneers, or maybe you’re new to it altogether. T these thin tooth-colored shells can turn a drab, damaged smile into a straighter, whiter and an all-around more attractive frin. Veneers are made from durable porcelain to protect and even strengthen teeth while also covering minor imperfections.

What issue can dental veneers address?

If you are dealing with any of these dental flaws, then our Lynchburg dentist may be able to easily correct them with veneers:

• Discolorations (particularly internal stains that don’t respond to whitening)
• Chips and cracks
• Gaps between teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Minor crookedness
• Misshapen or worn down teeth

If your teeth could use an aesthetic pick-me-up, then dental veneers could be the right choice for you.

How do I get dental veneers?

Getting dental veneers in Lynchburg is a fairly simple and straightforward process. Some veneers will require minimal tooth preparation prior to application. This means that we will need to shave down a very small amount of tooth enamel to make room for your veneers. This part of the process cannot be reversed once it is complete, but it can be performed painlessly, often without needing anesthesia.

Once the teeth are prepared, impressions are taken of your smile and then sent to a lab where they will use the molds to create your customized dental veneers. In the meantime, we may place temporary veneers over your teeth. Once your permanent veneers are finished, you will come back in so we can remove the temporary ones and cement the new veneers to your teeth. Once we check the fit and get your final approval, we will use a laser to harden the veneers to your teeth permanently. Following this procedure, you have a gorgeous new smile to brag about!
