If you've ever seen a smile on TV or in a movie and thought, "How are their teeth that perfect?!" you were probably looking at porcelain veneers. With this treatment, thin ceramic shells are placed over the front of the teeth, and they give a patient the ability to change their smile's shape, size, and color to whatever they want. It takes just two appointments to get a custom-made set of veneers, but the gorgeous results will easily last for 20 years or more.

Our team is constantly attending continuing education courses so we can utilize the most advanced materials in dentistry, and chief among them is dental porcelain. It perfectly mimics both the strength and appearance of real enamel, and they enable our team to create restorations that even we can't distinguish from real teeth. If you have a front tooth in need of repair, you can trust we'll use porcelain to help it look like new right away.

Cosmetic bonding lets our team express our artistic side. For patients with minor chips, stains, or gaps, we can apply a color-matched composite resin to their tooth and literally sculpt it to perfection. Any flaw will be quickly masked, and then the material will be hardened into place to give the tooth strength and security. The procedure often takes just an hour or less, but the results can easily last for 10 years or more.

If you could hit the reset button for your smile, would you do it? With a smile makeover, you certainly can! If you're dealing with stains, chips, cracks, gaps, and multiple damaged teeth, we can put together a treatment plan designed just for you that will get rid of any and all imperfections at the same time. No matter what state your teeth might be in now, we guarantee you'll be seeing a pristine smile in the mirror before you know it.

The first step to a beautiful smile is a complete and thorough examination to determine your oral health. Any health issues will be addressed and corrected before any cosmetic work begins. Oral health is the foundation of all attractive smiles. We'll ensure that your smile is healthy before enhancing its appearance.

When the foundation of your healthy smile is ready, we move on to the artistic phase. We'll discuss your goals and expectations of your new smile. What do you want your smile to look like? What don't you like about your smile that you want to change? Together, we'll determine what your new smile will look like.

Veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain, which are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They will not stain and require minimal tooth structure to be removed. Veneers are used to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth including the elimination of gaps between teeth, addressing the problems of a "gummy" smile, and providing solutions to short or small teeth. They are often used as an alternative to correcting misaligned teeth with lengthy orthodontic procedures.

Your first step toward cosmetic dentistry enhancement with porcelain dental veneers is to meet with a cosmetic dentist in Rochester, MN to discuss your goals for treatment. Contact Gentling Dental Care today for any questions on porcelain veneers.
