As the years go by, teeth can develop deep stains. If this is compounded by chips and visible fillings, you might be interested in having a more appealing smile. Dental veneers are a common cosmetic treatment that Dr. Sean Ferguson advocates to improve teeth that are suffering from multiple cosmetic imperfections.
These custom-shaped porcelain shells are shaped to fit over the faces of each tooth in your smile. They are custom crafted in a dental lab to match the natural shape and appearance of the teeth. As an added bonus, the porcelain material is not as receptive to staining foods and beverages. This will allow you to maintain a bright, white smile between dental cleanings.
During your first appointment, your dentist will examine all of the teeth in your smile to make sure you have sufficient enamel to secure a veneer. If you have one or more compromised teeth, they might advise you to have the entire enamel layer of the tooth replaced with a porcelain dental crown.
Dr. Sean Ferguson will then make a detailed impression of each tooth in your smile. This will be sent to a dental lab to serve as a guide while the technicians work to produce your final veneers.
When the veneers are ready, Dr. Sean Ferguson will call you back into Ferguson & Associates, DDS for a follow-up appointment. Then, they will remove a small amount of enamel from the face of each tooth before cementing the porcelain shell in place.
If you have multiple imperfections on the teeth in your smile, you should call Dr. Sean Ferguson at 704-786-8317 to see if you’re a good candidate for dental veneers in Concord, North Carolina.
