Most people look at movie stars and wonder why they were born with such perfect teeth and theirs are so uneven, discolored or irregularly shaped. They imagine life with perfect teeth. A life that they’d be more confident, be more outgoing and friendly, take more risks and reach for higher aspirations. These same people are surprised to find out that they too can have a movie star smile without extensive, involved, long term dental visits. They can get the perfect smile they’ve always dreamed of in only a couple simple dental visits, by visiting a cosmetic dentist that offers veneers in Salem OR.
Most people are surprised to learn that veneers can transform a smile quickly and easily and usually last 10 – 15 years, with proper dental care. The first step in getting veneers in Salem OR is to visit a cosmetic dentist that offers the service and determine if they are a candidate for the procedure. If so, the dentist will determine the proper shade for the veneers, as it’s important that the teeth look natural. After the shade is selected, the dentist will take impressions of the patient’s mouth, to ensure the veneers are shaped properly. On the return visit, the patient will have his teeth prepped for the veneers. This involves making the front surface of the teeth a bit rough, to ensure excellent adhesion of the veneer material. A special bonding agent is then used to attach the veneer to the tooth, thus giving the tooth an entirely new look. When the procedure is complete, the patient will have a whole new smile they’ll be ready to show off to the world.
Because veneers in Salem OR are constructed out of a very thin, lightweight porcelain material, they are virtually undetectable when placed in the mouth. This allows the patient to have an extremely comfortable transition when the product is applied. Though the material is extremely lightweight, and quite durable, many patient’s are cautious with eating hard foods or drinking dark colored drinks, such as coffee and cola, to avoid damage or staining of the veneers in Salem OR. For most, that is not an issue compared to the boost in confidence that they experience and the fulfillment and satisfaction of having the smile of their dreams.
