Perfect Porcelain Veneers Will Give You the Smile You Deserve

Residents of Wichita, Kansas, know the value of a beautiful smile. Smiles can become damaged over time. Accidents, injuries, and decay can damage our teeth; even the beverages and foods we consume can affect our smiles. Fortunately, Drs David Koepsel and Ashton Pargman with the East Wichita Dentist team have the perfect solution for your smile makeover: natural-looking porcelain veneers.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin porcelain pieces custom-designed for a beautiful smile transformation. These thin pieces of porcelain are bonded to the front of your natural teeth to disguise the unsightly imperfections that affect your smile’s appearance.

How Can Porcelain Veneers Make My Smile Perfect?

Your dentist can use porcelain veneers to fix several dental imperfections, including all of these:

• Gaps between your teeth
• Teeth stained by coffee, food, red wine, and tobacco
• Misshapen teeth
• Misaligned teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Broken teeth
• Unusually shaped teeth
• Narrow or short teeth

Are Porcelain Veneers a Good Option for Me?

Most people can enjoy the benefits of porcelain veneers. If your tooth imperfections are at the front of your smile, porcelain veneers are an excellent option for perfecting your smile. Porcelain veneers will last as long as ten years and, in some cases, even longer. The key is to properly care for your veneers by maintaining proper oral care.

How to Care for Porcelain Veneers

With proper care, porcelain veneers can give you a beautiful smile for over a decade. Follow these best practices to keep your porcelain veneers in top form:

• Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush for two minutes. Hard-bristled brushes can damage the polish of your veneers.
• Avoid chewing on ice and other hard things. Remember that porcelain veneers can break if you chew on ice or other hard substances. This can include hard candy and popcorn kernels.
• Try to avoid teeth grinding or clenching. Some people unconsciously grind or clench their teeth, especially when sleeping. If you suffer from bruxism, talk with your dentist about options to help with this, such as wearing a mouthguard when you go to bed.
• Limit indulgence in sweet treats. If your teeth feel fuzzy and rough after you brush them, you’re likely leaving behind dental plaque when you brush your teeth. The roughness you feel is plaque, and sugar is the main thing that causes dental plaque. If you do eat sweet treats, be sure to brush them after enjoying them.
