If only one thing could affect your smile’s appearance at a time, then keeping it healthy and beautiful would be simpler by far. Since that isn’t the case, you may need more than one cosmetic treatment to completely makeover your smile. The good news is that Dr. Engelberg can design your smile makeover to include as few treatments as possible to help you preserve a maximum amount of healthy, natural tooth structure. To accomplish that, porcelain veneers can often provide an instant smile makeover that minimizes the amount of work and preparation needed to renew your entire smile.

Designing a Smile Makeover

With a keen eye for esthetics and experience in artistic cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Engelberg will design your smile makeover by taking every aspect of its health and appearance into account. Teeth have a better chance of remaining healthy when you can preserve their natural structures, so your smile makeover will also be designed with your long-term dental health in mind. Using advanced imaging equipment, Dr. Engelberg will thoroughly examine your teeth to determine if tooth decay or damage might interfere with your smile makeover. If no restoration is necessary, then your treatment may include a combination of cosmetic dental treatments, or you might be a candidate for an instant smile makeover with porcelain veneers.

The Instant Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are super-thin, hand-crafted shells of porcelain that are customized to resemble the front surfaces of your teeth, minus any cosmetic blemishes. Dr. Engelberg will prepare each tooth by lightly sculpting the enamel on its front surface, then measuring them to design your veneers. The precise measurements are used to precisely design your porcelain veneers, which can then be permanently bonded to your teeth, creating a new, blemish-free smile.

Because veneers correct the entire visible surfaces of one or more teeth, they can address a number of cosmetic issues, including intrinsic discoloration, excessive tooth wear, chips and cracks, and minor tooth misalignment, to name just a few. Their versatility makes veneers one of the most popular cosmetic treatments, including for patients who require smile makeovers to address several concerns.
