When you're unhappy with the way your teeth look, it makes it difficult to smile with confidence. You find yourself avoiding social situations and hide your laughter behind your hand. You may even avoid applying for that new job because you're worried about what people may think about your teeth. If you're unhappy with your smile, it's time to make a change. Veneers may be the right solution for your cosmetic dentistry needs. When you need veneers and require a Fort Collins dentist, contact Dr. Ryan Ulibarri. He can help you determine if veneers are a good choice for your dental needs.
What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, tooth-shaped coverings made from resin composite or porcelain. They cover the front portion of your teeth. Your dentist may suggest veneers if your teeth are misshapen, discolored, chipped, or worn. Your dentist permanently bonds them to your teeth. The result is an improved smile, allowing you to feel and look more confident.
Preparing for Veneers
Your dentist will take x-rays of your teeth to make sure you're a good candidate for veneers. At the following appointment, the dentist trims your teeth half a millimeter so he or she can make a mold of your teeth. The dentist then sends the mold, or impression, of your teeth to a dental lab. The dental lab uses the mold to create the veneers used for patients in Fort Collins. Once your dentist receives the veneers from the lab, he or she can attach the veneers to your teeth.
