Why choose dental veneers?

If you’ve ever wished that you could totally transform your smile, veneers can help make that dream a reality. Made of thin yet durable porcelain, veneers are designed to cover the front surfaces of your teeth. They can be used to hide a variety of cosmetic imperfections such as severely stained teeth, chipped or broken teeth, misaligned or misshapen teeth, and gapped teeth. Their versatility makes them an extremely popular treatment option for patients who are looking for a permanent, comfortable, natural-looking cosmetic upgrade.

Did you know…

The Benefits of Veneers

Natural Look & Feel

Veneers are works of art, designed to look slightly translucent, just like a natural tooth.

Low-Maintenance

Because each veneer is individually placed, you can brush and floss like you normally do.

Durable

While veneers are very thin, porcelain is actually just as durable as natural tooth enamel.

The Veneers Treatment Process

Preparation of Teeth

After you’ve been approved for treatment during your cosmetic consultation, your dentist will gently buff away a thin layer of enamel to prepare your teeth that will be receiving the veneers.

Impressions & Temporary Veneers

After your teeth are prepared, you’ll have dental impressions or models taken of your teeth. These will be sent to a dental lab where your permanent veneers will be created. You will be sent home with a set of temporary resin veneers, which will protect your newly-prepared teeth until your permanent veneers are ready.

Permanent Veneer Placement

Once your dentist has checked the fit of your custom-made veneers and everything looks good, they’ll be attached to your teeth permanently using dental adhesive, completing your brand new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are TMD symptoms?

The symptoms of TMD vary quite a bit depending on the patient. You may experience issues like:

  • Pain and stiffness
  • Migraine headaches
  • Clicking or popping noises when moving your jaw
  • Difficulty opening your jaws all the way
  • Pain when chewing or eating

If you notice any of these symptoms, we recommend scheduling an appointment with your dentist right away to get help.

What causes TMD?

TMD and TMJ pain is caused by a variety of different issues:

  • Direct trauma to the temporomandibular joint
  • Bite and tooth
  • Bruxism or teeth grinding
  • Lifestyle issues, such as excessive gum chewing
  • Inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, like arthritis

Because TMD and TMJ pain can be caused by so many different health issues, it’s important to see an experienced dentist when seeking care.

Can TMD go away on its own?

Some cases of mild TMD may go away on their own with lifestyle changes, such as ceasing gum chewing, de-stressing to eliminate teeth clenching, and more. However, if you suffer from the symptoms of TMD for more than a week or two, your condition may be chronic. To learn more about your specific case of TMD, it’s best to seek a qualified, experienced dentist to get the help you need.

How can I treat TMJ pain on my own?

Applying a hot compress to the area at 10-minute intervals can help with inflammation and control the pain and discomfort of TMD as your jaw heals.

It’s also a good idea to take steps to decrease jaw clenching, such as exercising and de-stressing to reduce the likelihood of nighttime teeth grinding. You may also want to consider ceasing gum chewing, and eating a diet of mostly soft foods to minimize the work your jaw muscles must do while they heal.

You can also use over-the-counter medicines like ibuprofen to help control pain and inflammation as your jaw heals, and you recover from TMD.

While some cases of TMD are minor and can be resolved with these simple steps and other at-home remedies, you should consider seeking help if you experience serious pain and discomfort, or if your symptoms persist for 1-2 weeks or longer.
