Your graduation is coming up and you’re so proud to finally walk across that stage with your degree. You envision yourself beaming with pride as you accept your diploma, but when you picture your smile, your self-confidence suddenly bottoms out. You’re self-conscious about the noticeable gap right in between your two front teeth. You want to get this spacing issue fixed, but there’s no way braces would fix this in time and you wouldn’t want a mouthful of metal anyway. What alternative do you have? With porcelain veneers in Indianapolis from Indy Dental Group, we can give you the perfectly spaced, flawless smile you deserve.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
As your premier cosmetic dentist in Indianapolis, our team explains that veneers are thin, yet durable shells of porcelain that are permanently bonded to your original teeth. To start the process, our dentists will prepare your natural dentitions, then apply the veneers to create your ideal smile. These are a great way to address a number of cosmetic and functional issues with your pearly whites, and we’ll expand on that below.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Do For Me?
This upgrade is an excellent way to address several smile imperfections that impact both the look and the health of your teeth. Porcelain veneers can usually solve all the problems below with just one procedure:
- Staining and discoloration
- Chips, cracks, and broken teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Small or short teeth
- Gaps
- Alignment issues
How Should I Care For My Porcelain Veneers?
Patients who opt for veneers should care for them using the strategies below to get the most out of their smile makeover:
- 2×2 – Brush your veneers just like you would your teeth: twice a day for two minutes each time.
- Floss – Since brushing only cleans a little more than half the surfaces in your mouth, floss to clean in between your veneers where the toothbrush can’t reach.
- Avoid Staining – Although porcelain is naturally stain-resistant, a little bit of prevention will go a long way in making your bright veneers last longer. Limit sodas, coffee, red and white wine, and stick with water as your beverage of choice. Also, rinse your mouth out after eating blueberries – this superfood packs quite the colorful antioxidant punch on your smile.
Now that you know how porcelain veneers from Indy Dental Group can close the gap in your grin, schedule your appointment to achieve the perfect smile that’s worthy of you!
