Porcelain Veneers Detroit

Novi, Michigan

Many times, the first thing people notice when they look at others is their smile, making it safe to say that our smiles most definitely have a large affect on our appearance to not only ourselves, but in the eyes of others as well. For some people, having one of those celebrity smiles is far from reality due to unwanted teeth conditions such as:

• teeth discoloration
• stains
• chips and cracks
• crookedness
• worn teeth
• unevenly sized teeth that may be too narrow or too wide

But, one of the most widely used cosmetic dentistry options can easily fix all of these problems – porcelain veneers.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are simply thin pieces of porcelain that can be professionally fitted to your natural tooth structure by Detroit cosmetic dentist, Dr. Joseph Serra to make your smile look and feel amazing. The porcelain veneers, once put on, are meant to be kept on forever, as they are permanently bonded to your existing teeth. Porcelain is a commonly used material because it looks and feels much like a normal tooth does in color, texture, and translucency, so your smile won’t look fake or awkward.

The great thing about porcelain veneers is that they not only look great, but they further protect your natural teeth from any more damage. Getting porcelain veneers is sure to give you the white, bright, eye-catching smile that you’ve always dreamed of having.

How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?

When you opt to get porcelain veneers at our Detroit dental office, you’ll come in for a couple visits to see Dr. Serra. The first visit is all about getting to know you, your tooth structure, and deciding what type of result you are seeking. We will cover things such as:

• The size, color, and shape you want your porcelain veneers to be. We strive to give you the most natural look possible and Dr. Serra will give you his recommendations, but the decisions are totally up to you.
• Your expectations and what porcelain veneers will be able to do to improve your overall smile
• Preparing the surface of your teeth to be fitted with porcelain veneers

Once your teeth are ready, a custom mold of your teeth will be made so that your porcelain veneers can be created. During the time between your first and second appointment, you will wear temporary veneers while the true porcelain ones are being made.

The second appointment is the most exciting one, as you will get to see your new smile. First, Dr. Serra will carefully remove the temporary veneers. Then, after a thorough cleaning of your teeth, the porcelain veneers will be attached with the use of a permanent dental adhesive, and soon enough you’re out the door and on your way with a beautiful smile!

Porcelain veneers will give you amazing results in as little as two appointments and you’ll never have to feel embarrassed about your smile again.
