ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS FOR YOU?
DENTIST SHREWSBURY, PAEnhance your smile with Dr. Haywood, your Shrewsbury, PA dentist
If you find yourself struggling with the appearance of your smile or you’re looking to rejuvenate its vibrance, our natural-looking porcelain veneers may be a great option for you. Porcelain veneers are custom crafted thin ceramic shells that are placed over the surface of your teeth to conceal any cosmetic flaws, but they also will repair and strengthen damaged teeth. They’re made from durable, tooth-colored porcelain artistically hand-crafted to ensure a natural appearance for years to come.
Dr. Haywood is the best cosmetic dentist in our area and finished his cosmetic training in 1996 with the renowned Dr. Larry Rosenthal at NYU. The artistry required to create a new smile with porcelain veneers takes more than new technology. Experience, talent and dedicated time with each patient assures that each smile we create could appear in a professional publication or in your next photo shoot. You will love the way you look! Dr. Haywood’s team of cosmetic dentistry specialists have been working in partnership with him to hand-make all of the custom-made veneers he provides for his patients.
Since 1995 this partnership has allowed us to create some of the most amazing smiles from Baltimore to York , PA and even for Miss USA contestants. In all those years, we have had very few veneers fail, however many people have returned to our dental office to get another set of porcelain veneers that are even whiter than their first set. When you choose to have porcelain veneer treatment you should choose the best dentist in York for the job. We strongly believe that our experience and skill will provide you with the amazing beautiful new smile you are dreaming of.
THE PORCELAIN VENEERS PROCESS
SHREWSBURY, PA VENEERSMany questions may arise when considering cosmetic dentistry - our team helps you navigate through the process of creating porcelain veneers
The entire porcelain veneers process is completed in three treatment appointments. Here’s an overview of what you can look forward to after our thorough dental exam, diagnostic photographs, and x-rays confirm you are a good candidate for this cosmetic dental procedure. Periodontal diseases or decay should be addressed either before or as part of this elective cosmetic treatment. We provided these services for you as well.
FIRST APPOINTMENT
At your first appointment, we will thoroughly numb the area we are working in if needed and remove a small amount of the damaged tooth surface and all existing old fillings and decay that we may find. We strive to shape the tooth as little as possible and preserve vital tooth structure. At the same time we must not leave any damage under our new porcelain veneer. If the tooth has damage under the surface, that will be repaired during the process as well. We will eventually make impressions of your teeth preparations, take even more photos, take a registration of your bite, and then make you your first set of “temporary veneers” that are customized to your personal specifications of color and shape. Our team will then send all this data to our master ceramist CK Kim in New York. During the next few weeks we can make changes to your temporary veneers and finalize your choices for color and shape. Your veneers will be first customized by us and then finally made by hand in CK’s dental lab studio. The whole process typically takes from 10 days to four weeks.
SECOND APPOINTMENT
Once your customized porcelain veneers are ready, you’ll return to our Shrewsbury office for your second appointment to have a try-in or have them finally bonded in if they are excellent. Our cosmetic dentistry experts will remove the temporary veneers and clean the surfaces of the teeth we are working on. Many will choose to be numb for the process because the teeth can feel cold from water and air as they are installed. We try-in the veneers that have been made and we will get your approval that they meet your expectations. Once you’re satisfied with the shape, color, and how they make you look amazing, we will use a bonding agent and specialized adhesive cements to adhere the veneers to your teeth. There is quite a bit of final polishing and fitting to make them feel and act as your own. We take our time to make sure everything fits and looks exceptionally beautiful. You are now ready to take your new smile out of the office and enjoy them just like your own teeth.
