Porcelain Veneers – Corbin, KY

Transforming Your Smile

When you look at pictures of yourself or at yourself in the mirror, are you distracted by flaws in your teeth? Perhaps you have multiple flaws in the same teeth and think it would take several long, complicated procedures to address. It can be frustrating and maybe even cause you to hide your smile. Well, here at Corbin Family Dental Care, we offer a solution that can take care of them all at once—porcelain veneers. Whether you just treat one tooth or all your visible teeth, this tried-and-true cosmetic option can completely transform and revitalize your smile and your confidence.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of dental ceramic that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to alter their shape, color, size, and positioning. Veneers cover or conceal many kinds of imperfections in your smile, including these:

Chipped teeth.
Cracked teeth.
Gaps between teeth.
Misshapen teeth.
Stains that don’t respond to professional whitening.
Small teeth.
Slight misalignments in the teeth.

When porcelain veneers are applied, these flaws immediately vanish, showing only a stunning smile that stands out in the best possible way.

What are the benefits of porcelain veneers?

Because of the material used for porcelain veneers, they have many advantages, namely the following:

They look completely natural. Because veneers reflect light just like enamel, no one will be able to tell that they’re there.
They are durable. Veneers can handle the normal wear and tear you put them through.
They are stain resistant. In fact, they are better at repelling stains than tooth enamel.
They are versatile. They can correct several kinds of flaws simultaneously.
They are biocompatible. Porcelain veneers shouldn’t irritate your gums and should feel perfectly comfortable in your mouth.

How are porcelain veneers placed?

After you and Dr. Whitaker have determined that porcelain veneers are a good fit for you, the process for placing them goes as follows:

She will remove a small part of your teeth’s enamel to make room for the veneers.
We will then take impressions of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental lab and used to create your custom veneers.
Before you leave, Dr. Whitaker will adhere temporary veneers to your teeth.
When the final products are ready, you’ll return to our office so she can permanently place the veneers, instantly improving the appearance of your smile.

In as few as two simple appointments, you could have the smile you’ve always wanted!
