People often ask about the differences between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry, and we think the best way to explain it is as follows: general dentistry focuses on the health and function of your mouth, teeth, and gums, and cosmetic dentistry focuses on the aesthetics of your smile.
However, one of the many wonderful aspects of cosmetic dentistry in Burkburnett, TX, is that while improving the aesthetics of your smile with cosmetic dentistry procedures, Dr. Kyle Clark and his dental team also improve the health and function of your mouth, teeth, and gums. Porcelain veneers are an excellent example of a cosmetic dentistry procedure that improves the health and function of the tooth while delivering a stunning new smile.
What Do Porcelain Veneers Correct?
Porcelain veneers may be the best option to correct these flaws:
- Discolored teeth (from medications, smoking, or teeth-staining foods and drinks)
- Worn teeth
- Teeth damaged from fluoride
- Chipped teeth
- Broken teeth
- Teeth with large gaps between them
- Crowded teeth
- Uneven teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Teeth damaged from old fillings
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic material that strengthen and perfect your teeth. Hand-crafted by skilled artisans, porcelain veneers allow light to pass through them, mimicking the light-handling properties of natural tooth enamel.
These wafer-thin shells are bonded to the front of your teeth to cover and correct just about any dental flaw. Porcelain veneers are the most common cosmetic dentistry procedure because they fix many dental problems.
Dr. Kyle Clark and his team use only the best labs and the highest quality materials, so our porcelain veneers are beautiful and natural-looking every time. Your family, friends, and colleagues may wonder what’s different about you, but they won’t know you have porcelain veneers unless you tell them
Getting Porcelain Veneers in Burkburnett, TX
After Burkburnett cosmetic dentist Dr. Kyle Clark decides you’re a great candidate for porcelain veneers, a small amount of enamel will be removed from the surface of your tooth. This is done to prepare the tooth to receive the veneer. During your first appointment for veneers, temporary veneers will be put in place while your permanent ones are made in a laboratory.
During your second visit, the permanent porcelain veneers will be bonded to the teeth receiving them. Our Burkburnett dental team will work masterfully to make amazing final touches to the porcelain veneers, providing the stunning smile you expect.
Some patients require what is referred to as “gum recontouring” during the porcelain veneers process; gum recontouring enhances your smile even further. Not all people require gum recontouring, but if necessary, we will explain it to you so you know exactly what it entails.
