If you’re a young patient with perfect teeth, you may be tempted to have all of your teeth covered with veneers or caps. Often, your dentist will try to talk you out of the procedure by talking about how minimal it is, and how much damage it can do to your teeth. While veneers are less invasive than caps, they still involve some abrasion. Here are some things you can expect from the Hollywood smile medical center.
Porcelain veneers
If you’re interested in a Hollywood Smile, you’ve probably wondered what to expect from this procedure. While you can expect your porcelain veneers to last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, it’s important to follow certain oral hygiene habits to prevent staining and gum disease. For best results, avoid dark drinks and tobacco products. Besides brushing your teeth after the procedure, it’s also important to avoid chewing or sucking on ice, which can cause stains and cracks in the new porcelain veneers.
Composite veneers
A composite veneer is made from a composite material, not clay like the material that used to be used in making traditional porcelain veneers. These veneers are shaped and placed individually by the dentist, who then exposes them to blue light to harden the resin and cement the veneers into place. The procedure ends with a final bonding of composite veneers that completes your Hollywood smile. During the procedure, the dentist will also take an impression of your mouth. This mold is made by biting down on a mold that will be made from the impression.
Lumineers
Lumineers are a type of cosmetic dental treatment. The procedure requires two appointments with your dentist, the first of which will involve taking impressions of your upper and lower teeth. Once the impressions are taken, the dentist will make the proper measurements and design the Lumineers. These fabricated veneers are then bonded to your teeth and are ready to be placed within two to four weeks. You can even remove the Lumineers once they are ready to.
Dental crowns
There are many reasons to get a Hollywood smile. Dental crowns can correct a variety of cosmetic issues. You may be surprised at just how many people choose this treatment, as it can improve both your overall health and your appearance. Moreover, Hollywood smile treatments are often combined with corrective procedures, such as gum margin surgery and dental implants. But before you decide to get a Hollywood smile, you should know what exactly you’re getting.
