But, with all the coffee you drink, your teeth have turned yellow over the years. The discoloration only draws more attention to the tooth you chipped during a college volleyball game quite a few years back \u2013 you\u2019re tired of looking in the mirror and not seeing a smile that doesn\u2019t show who you are. You\u2019re considering cosmetic dental treatments, but aren\u2019t sure what would work best for you. The team at South Shore Dental Care tell you that you\u2019re a good candidate for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a> in Massapequa. In this post, the dentists explain how this procedure will upgrade your smile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic treatment that corrects many common dental appearance issues. These can be used to address:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chips<\/li>\n<li>Staining<\/li>\n<li>Minor alignment issues<\/li>\n<li>Worn-down teeth<\/li>\n<li>Misshapen teeth<\/li>\n<li>Gaps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To start the process for veneers, you\u2019ll discuss the results you\u2019d like to achieve with Dr. Dory Stutman and Dr. Khallida Stutman and they\u2019ll prepare your natural teeth to have the veneers affixed to them.<\/p>\n<p>These thin, yet durable shells of porcelain will be permanently bonded to the front side of your existing dentitions. Since you get to choose the shade of porcelain and bonding agent, your teeth will be as radiant as you\u2019d like them to be. And, you\u2019ll be amazed at how long-lasting veneers are.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Am I A Good Candidate For Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>With any procedure, your Massapequa cosmetic dentist will need to first ensure that you are a good candidate. Have a look at the details below to see if you might benefit from this treatment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Healthy Teeth<\/u> \u2013 You\u2019re free from tooth decay, cavities, gum disease and cracked teeth.<\/li>\n<li><u>No Grinding<\/u> \u2013 You don\u2019t clench your jaw or grind your teeth.<\/li>\n<li><u>Good Enamel<\/u> \u2013 You must have sufficient enamel so that the veneers can be bonded to a solid foundation.<\/li>\n<li><u>Tooth Alignment<\/u> \u2013 While minor crookedness or gaps can be corrected with veneers, severe misalignment can cause your upgraded smile to become marred with chipping or cracks from improper biting.<\/li>\n<li><u>More Than One Issue<\/u> \u2013 If you have more than one cosmetic issue you\u2019d like to address, such as a misshapen tooth, a naturally short tooth, and staining, you\u2019re a good candidate for this treatment that can fix everything in one fell swoop.<\/li>\n<li><u>You Want Results <\/u>\u2013 If you\u2019re interested in long-lasting, great-looking <a href=\"https:\/\/newveneers.wordpress.com\/celeb-smiles\/\">results<\/a>, porcelain veneers could be right for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know what porcelain veneers are, what the process is for them, and that you\u2019re a good candidate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/schedule-an-appointment.html\">schedule your appointment<\/a> with South Shore Dental Care today and get the perfect smile that\u2019s waiting for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You take great care of your teeth \u2013 you brush and floss twice a day, every day.
