Dental veneers from your dentist in West Haven and Milford CT make your smile brighter

Have you heard of the benefits of porcelain veneers? We pay close attention to how we present ourselves. How we look significantly affects how confidently we face our lives. Admittedly, we are mesmerized with great smiles. As much as possible, we try to make our smiles as white, as perfect and as beautiful as we can imagine. Porcelain veneers can correct many flaws in our smile and give us the dazzling, gorgeous smile we long for.

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin restorative materials cemented on a tooth to increase either the aesthetic quality or strength of the tooth. Different materials are used for this purpose. Your local West Haven and Milford CT dentist at Shoreline Dental Care, Dr. Joseph Tartagni, will help you choose between composite material or a porcelain veneer for the best choice in teeth veneers for your smile.

Composite veneers versus porcelain veneers

Composite veneers are normally done chair side by your West Haven and Milford CT dentist. This means that the teeth enamel are prepared and lessened and then the composite material are directly applied and cured on the tooth. We can have our veneers placed on our teeth on that same appointment.

Meanwhile, porcelain veneers are done in partnership with a dental laboratory technician. The teeth are prepared to be ready for the veneers. Dr. Joseph Tartagni, your West Haven and Milford CT cosmetic dentist, makes an impression of the prepared teeth and sends that impression to the laboratory. Patients are dismissed for that first appointment. After the dental laboratory technician has fabricated the veneer, patients return back for porcelain veneer cementation. With porcelain veneers, patients need to have at least two appointments with their local cosmetic dentist.

Porcelain veneers are more durable and may last up to 10-15 years. If the porcelain veneers fracture, replacement is the only solution and the same process described goes on.

Is it painful to get porcelain veneers?

You need not worry about pain or discomfort during the teeth veneer process. Dr. Tartagni is also a sedation dentist and will provide several options in sedation dentistry, to help you relax and be stress free, during the entire procedure.

When do we need to have dental veneers?

Teeth veneers are helpful for several problems. You may have spaces between your teeth, or your teeth may be stained. Also misshapen teeth or broken or chipped teeth can benefit from dental veneers. The material in veneers will give your teeth an extra sparkle and shine.
