Even if you want prettier teeth, you may think fixing them is too much work. Wouldn’t hiding all your smile flaws take many separate treatments? That said, there’s a solid method to address these dental faults at once: veneers in Glendale! This option lets Arrowhead Dentistry transform your grin in several great ways. Our dental team is happy to tell you more if you’d like. To that end, simply keep reading or book a consultation visit soon.
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-sized shells. They’re placed over the fronts of teeth to treat varied smile flaws. In particular, they hide stains, chips, cracks, and fractures from view. The shells then blend seamlessly with your adjacent teeth.
Veneers’ amazing effects come from their great materials. These shells are made from dental-grade porcelain, which is customized to match a tooth’s color, size, and shape. As a result, the final veneers look natural and “fit in” with their surroundings. They also have stain resistance and high durability – qualities that help the shells last long.
All things considered, a veneer treatment can be a bit complex. Placing the shells often takes two dental visits. Plus, the process is made up of multiple steps: the consultation, the “prep work,” and the final placement.
At the consultation, you’ll discuss treatment with Dr. Upton. This talk helps us know what you want from veneers. It also lets us learn about your oral health, medical history, etc. Once we have such details, we can confirm whether you qualify for care.
If we approve the treatment, Dr. Upton will start prepping your teeth for veneers. He’ll first shave away some enamel from each affected tooth. Next, he’ll take a dental impression and send it to a lab. Said lab’s workers will use the mold to craft your veneers. While you wait for these shells, you’ll wear temporary ones for a few weeks.
Once the “real” veneers are ready, you’ll see us for the final placement. We’ll place the final shells on your teeth at this visit. From there, we’ll confirm the shells work and let you enjoy your grin.
You’ll enjoy many upsides when you get veneers. The most common of these are the following:
