Nov. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Dr. Sherri Worth: General Information on Dental Veneers by Dr. Sherri Worth

How long is your dental wish list? Dr. Sherri Worth knows that if you're like most patients, you've considered several cosmetic dentistry treatments to help straighten, whiten or reshape your teeth, but for a total smile makeover, natural-looking dental veneers may be the fastest way to create a beautiful new smile.

Dr. Sherri Worth explains that veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are attached to your existing teeth to meet a variety of cosmetic goals. Dr. Sherri Worth goes on to explain that she can match them to your natural or desired tooth color for a uniform, authentic appearance. Also, porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant and may actually strengthen your natural teeth.

Porcelain Veneers for an Instant Smile Makeover

There are a variety of reasons you and your dentist or cosmetic dentist may choose porcelain veneers, but if you have any of the following dental problems, Dr. Sherri Worth believes that you may find them especially helpful:
•   Dull or stained teeth
•   Crowded or crooked teeth
•   A diastema (gap) between your front teeth
•   Teeth that are misshapen, too small or too big
•   Chipped or broken teeth
Rather than spending years with dental braces and multiple appointments for dental bonding, teeth whitening and other cosmetic procedures, Dr. Sherri Worth can completely transform your smile with teeth veneers.

Developing a Special Bond

So, you may be wondering, how does the magic of veneers happen? You'll be happy to know that the whole process is pretty simple and takes only 2-3 visits to complete! Dr. Sherri Worth has found that the first place to start is with a porcelain veneers consultation. You can set one up with a cosmetic dentist or a general dentist who offers dental veneers. Popular brands of teeth veneers include da Vinci veneers™, LUMINEERS® and MAC veneers™. Some types of veneers require no prepping and generally little to no anesthesia. Dr. Sherri Worth notes that others are made of a special type of ceramic that's exceptionally durable and long-lasting. Don't worry if you don't which kind is best for you, Dr. Sherri Worth can help you decide!

After you and your dentist create a plan that's workable in terms of your goals, time and budget, next comes the start of your smile's transformation. Dr. Sherri Worth has learned that, for most types of porcelain veneers, your first appointment will involve prepping -- removing a thin layer of each tooth's surface to leave space for the new veneer. Dr. Sherri Worth might also take X-rays and/or dental impressions. You might be fitted with temporary dental veneers while your permanent ones are milled in an off-site lab, if needed. Milling time can take a couple of weeks. Once your custom-made teeth veneers are prepared, they'll be cosmetically bonded to your teeth for a natural-looking, picture-perfect smile! Other types of veneers don't require prepping and can be made right in your dentist's office for same-day placement.
