Many of us have something we don’t like about our smiles. Perhaps it’s the dingy appearance of your teeth after years of use. Sometimes, it could be one or two oddly sized teeth, throwing your smile off balance. Whatever the smile imperfection, cosmetic dentistry in Flower Mound, Texas, can transform your ordinary smile into something beautiful.
At Jonathan J. Golab, DDS, PA, we have plenty of options for smile enhancement. Dental veneers stand out as the most transformative treatment. Expertly placed by Dr. Jonathan Golab, dental veneers not only correct smile flaws but also provide a natural-looking finish that leaves no evidence of dental work.Â
While veneers and teeth whitening improve your smile, they accomplish this differently. Teeth whitening is primarily used to correct tooth staining. Teeth bleaching is popular because it’s accessible, fast, and affordable.
Teeth whitening only improves the color of your teeth. However, dental veneers do more than make your smile whiter. Once applied to the front surfaces of your teeth, dental veneers can improve the texture, shape, and size of your pearly whites. This way, dental veneers effectively camouflage uneven gaps, chips, and slight misalignment. Â
So, which is the best? It depends! When you only want to improve the shade of your smile, teeth whitening is the most affordable and quick treatment. However, porcelain veneer treatment is the go-to procedure when you want to fix stubborn discoloration or other flaws like chipped, gapped, and uneven teeth.
Dental veneers are customized, tooth-colored shells made from porcelain or composite. While composite veneers provide a remarkable transformation, they aren’t as long-lasting as porcelain veneers. Composite veneers are placed in a single appointment and don’t involve any alteration of the enamel.
In contrast, porcelain veneers are placed in two to three appointments because they are lab-made. The first visit is the most involving, consisting of grinding down the enamel to create space for veneers. Next, we take impressions of your teeth to be used as a reference by our partner lab. Since your veneers take two to three weeks to complete, we’ll send you home with provisional restorations to protect your prepped teeth.
Once we receive your aligners, you’ll book another appointment with Dr. Golab for placement. We’ll replace the temporary veneers with permanent ones. Once we check the fit and appearance of your veneers, we’ll bond your restorations to your teeth using dental cement.Â
Dental veneers are incredibly versatile, having the ability to correct misshapen teeth, dental discoloration, noticeable chips, and minor misalignment with one treatment. Furthermore, dental veneers can fix one or multiple teeth — depending on your needs — for a completely new look!
