When you meet someone for the first time, you typically smile and say hello. Sadly, many now refuse to smile as their teeth aren’t as attractive as they wish. With the help of Veneers in Mobile AL, you can have a gorgeous smile you love and cannot wait to show off. Veneers are nothing more than thin porcelain pieces which are used to recreate the natural appearance of a tooth. In addition, they give the tooth more strength and resilience when the tooth has been damaged. In many ways, the veneer works as natural tooth enamel. Veneers help to change the color, shape or size of a tooth or make slight alterations in the appearance.
Porcelain veneers are composed of several thin layers of ceramic which have been adhered together. The veneer has an adhesive layer attached to it and in order to install the veneer, the dentist removes a thin layer of tooth enamel. In most cases, this is less than one millimeter of the enamel. Doing so allows the veneer to fit properly in the mouth, and it also helps to maintain the natural function of the tooth.
The key to success, when it comes to Veneers in Mobile AL is to create a strong bond, as this helps to ensure the veneer functions as designed. A resin which is light sensitive is inserted between the veneer and the tooth and then hardened with the help of a special curing light. Once put into place, the veneers correct the shape, color and contours of the tooth. They may be used for teeth which have been fractured, for teeth which have gaps between them and in situations where the position of the tooth has been compromised, and the person is experiencing problems with their bite.
The veneers are sculpted to your tooth, allowing for a natural appearance, and they are resistant to many stains, including coffee, tea, and tobacco. With the use of veneers, you’ll find you don’t have to lose a large portion of the tooth, a problem many experience when getting a crown, and veneers are perfect for those who won’t benefit from tooth whitening.
