Everyone wants to have a healthy looking smile, but many people have dental issues that prevent them from having great smiles. These issues can range from stained or discolored teeth to chipped and broken teeth, as well as many other problems. Modern dentistry can solve these dental issues, and there are a number of different procedures available. Some people choose to have crowns, bridges, dentures, or implants. A simpler and less expensive procedure that can be used to correct many dental issues is to have veneers applied. Having this procedure done can greatly improve the look of a person’s smile, as well as improve their overall dental health.
Dental veneers in Salem OR are extremely thin shells that are made to cover the surface of the front portion of the teeth. They are custom-made for each patient, and made to match the color of the teeth. They can help to improve the color of teeth, as well as change the shape, length, and size of teeth. Dental veneers in Salem OR can be made from either porcelain or resin composites. The porcelain veneers are more popular, as they are more stain resistant than those made with other materials and tend to be more natural looking. The materials used will often depend on the nature of the dental issue, and this is something that should be discussed with the dentist.
There are a number of problems that can be fixed with dental veneers in Salem OR. Many people who have had root canals and other dental treatments that cause staining opt for veneers. Other causes of staining include using too much fluoride, or having large fillings that are not the same color as the teeth. Teeth that are chipped, broken, or simply worn down can be fixed with dental veneers in Salem OR. Even those who have crooked teeth, or teeth that are uneven or misshaped can benefit from having veneers applied. They can also be used to correct gaps between teeth. The process involves three dental visits, which include the initial consultation and two appointments to have the actual work done.
