With all of the red carpet, celebrity smiles on television and social media these days, you might be having some smile envy. Few people are born with a perfect set of bright white, straight, uniform teeth. Veneers can give you that perfect look, however.
Porcelain veneers are incredibly versatile. They can cover a damaged, discolored, or oddly shaped tooth. Veneers can also improve slightly misaligned teeth without the need for orthodontics. We can place a single veneer to cover one tooth or create a whole new smile that makes you Hollywood ready while looking completely natural.
Talk To Your Dentist
A complete examination is required to determine whether dental veneers are an appropriate restoration to use. While veneers are often quite effective, they do have limitations. For example, veneers cannot predictably mask darkly discolored teeth, teeth that are moderately to severely misaligned, and teeth that have existing large fillings.
If your teeth are stained, you may wish to whiten your teeth prior to beginning any restorative dentistry. This will allow us to create brighter veneers and an overall whiter appearance.
If veneers are not the best solution for you, Dr. Olvera will go over other treatment options that can give you the smile of your dreams. If you've still got questions, please feel free to give our St. Petersburg, FL office a call today!
You should brush your teeth at least twice daily – once in the evening after your last meal or before bed and in the morning. Of course, if your teeth feel like they need to be brushed an additional time during the day, that’s fine. As long as you are using a soft-bristled toothbrush and proper technique, brushing an extra time or two during the day will only be beneficial.
Using a soft-bristled toothbrush will protect your gum tissue and enamel. You can hold the toothbrush gently in one hand. You do not need to have a strong grasp, as it may encourage brushing too hard. It is the tips of the bristles that actually clean the teeth and pressing harder will not clean your teeth better, but it may damage your gums.
Tips On Brushing
Angle the brush at a 45-degree angle toward the gum-line, where plaque collects first. Be sure to brush every surface of the teeth, including the chewing surface.
Use a fluoride toothpaste to help protect enamel. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps enamel stay hard, preventing decay. A healthy diet that avoids many sugary snacks, soda (diet or regular), and energy drinks will help teeth stay decay-free.
